car sales contract template

After a car sales contract template? Keep it simple and airtight—buyers love detail, courts love clarity, and you love not arguing.

Your private-sale contract should include:

• Seller/Buyer: full names, addresses, licence numbers.
• Vehicle: make, model, year, VIN, rego, engine number, odometer.
• Price & payment: total in AUD, deposit, balance due, method, and time of transfer.
• Condition: sold “as‑is” or specific warranties; known defects disclosed; clear title/PPSR noted.
• Logistics: sale date/time/place, keys/books/spares handed over, and who’s insured on test drives.
• Signatures: buyer, seller, witness, with dates.

Print two copies, exchange a receipt, and follow your state’s transfer steps (rego, RWC if required, and notice of disposal).

It’s not Shakespeare—just write neatly, be honest, and keep every page like it’s your last Tim Tam.
