Staying Safe When Selling Your Car

Selling your car privately often means that there will not be a dealership and salespeople to protect you if you encounter trouble. Safety will always be important in selling a car privately. Here are some tips to consider:

  • Meeting in public locations: Always meet potential buyers in public locations.
  • Bringing a friend: Ask a friend to join you. You will be safer with someone else with you to protect you.
  • Payment verification: Get paid in full favor of your payment terms before you hand over the keys to your car. Secure payment methods such as bank transfers or certified checks.
  • Trust your instincts: If things don’t feel right, it is OK to walk away.

Documentation Requirements for Car Transactions in Tennessee

Transfer of Title

Both the buyer and seller are required to complete the transfer of title section on the reverse side of the title. This includes the following:

  • The odometer reading
  • Sales price
  • Date of sale
  • Seller and buyer signatures

Bill of Sale

While a bill of sale is not required, it is helpful for both the buyer and seller to have a bill of sale. There are several items that a bill of sale should include:

  • Name and addresses of buyer and seller
  • Vehicle description (make, model, year, VIN)
  • Sales price
  • Date of sale
  • Signatures

Release of Liability

After the sale is completed, the seller is required to submit to Tennessee Department of Revenue a release of liability form. This will protect you against future liabilities from the car that was sold.
