To transfer ownership, you must complete the "Transfer by Owner" section on the back of the Certificate of Title. You need to:
Enter the buyer's full name and address.
Write in the odometer reading. Federal law requires this for vehicles under 20 years old. Do not include tenths of a mile.
Fill in the date of the sale.
Sign your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title. If there are two owners listed, both may need to sign.
Do not use white-out or make any corrections, as it will void the title. If the title is damaged or you make an error, you must apply for a duplicate title.
Yes. In New York, both you and the buyer must complete and sign a Bill of Sale (Form MV-912). You should keep a copy for your records. The Bill of Sale must include:
The year, make, model, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The date of the sale.
The purchase price.
The full names and addresses of both the seller and the buyer.
A statement that you are the lawful owner and are transferring ownership.
If your title is lost or destroyed, you must apply for a duplicate from the DMV before you can sell the car. If you have an outstanding loan, the lienholder’s name will be on the title. You cannot sell the vehicle until you pay off the loan. Once paid, the lienholder will either provide you with the signed-off title or you will receive a clear title from the DMV.
Yes. If the vehicle is registered in New York, it must have a valid safety inspection sticker that is good for at least 30 days from the date of sale. It is the seller's legal responsibility to ensure the inspection is current. You must display the inspection sticker on the vehicle. Selling a car without a valid inspection can result in fines.
The buyer is responsible for paying sales tax. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. The buyer pays it directly to the DMV when they register the vehicle. The tax amount is calculated based on the purchase price or the vehicle's fair market value, whichever is higher.
You must remove your license plates from the car before the buyer drives away. The plates belong to you, not the vehicle. Immediately turn them in to a DMV office. When you surrender your plates, you will receive an FS-6T receipt. Keep this receipt, as it is your only proof that you turned in the plates and canceled the vehicle's registration, ending your liability and insurance obligation for that car.
Private sales in New York are generally "as-is," but you must be truthful. You are required to disclose the accurate odometer reading. If you know the odometer is broken or incorrect, you must indicate that on the title. While you aren't required to offer a warranty, honesty about the vehicle's history can prevent future legal issues.
