writing a receipt for a private car sale

So, you've struck a deal on a private car sale and now need to scribble down proof that the cash has indeed changed hands. Here's the lowdown: a receipt should include the date of sale, full names and addresses of buyer and seller, vehicle details (make, model, year, VIN), sale price, and a statement confirming that the vehicle has been sold "as is" with no warranties. Both parties should sign and date the receipt to seal the deal legally. Keep a copy for yourself, because when the inevitable dispute arises, this little scrap of paper becomes your best mate.
