Sell Your Used Car Today In Philadelphia!

In the state of Pennsylvania, your original vehicle title is legally required as proof of ownership. You’ll need this document for the PennDOT agent you’ll be working with so they can help you process the transfer of ownership. 

It should be noted that if you’re selling a car with a lien, you’ll need to obtain permission from your financial institution to sell the vehicle and transfer the title to the buyer.

The Bill of Sale

The Bill of Sale isn’t a legal requirement in the state of Pennsylvania. However, it’s necessary to safeguard you in the event that there’s an issue when transferring the title or proof of sales tax.

The Bill of Sale should include the following:

• The year, make, and model of the vehicle
• The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• The date of the sale
• The purchase price and sales tax
• The buyer’s legal name, address, and signature
• The seller’s legal name, address, and signature
• The notary stamp 

The title transfer papers

According to Pennsylvania state law, transferring a Pennsylvania Certificate of Title requires the involvement of an authorized PennDOT agent. The process of transferring your vehicle’s title also involves both the seller and buyer, as the following must be completed:

• Print and sign your legal names (and the address of the buyer)
• Provide proof of identification, such as a valid driver’s license, identification card, etc
• Document the vehicle’s odometer reading

The front page of the title transfer document (Section D) must be filled out by the buyer. If there are multiple buyers, all buyers must sign their names. Depending on the circumstances, the buyer may need to fill out additional forms. 

For example, there’s a different form for vehicles with out-of-state titles, salvage titles, and so on. However, the PennDOT agent will advise both parties of the instructions they need to follow based on the circumstances of ownership before it’s time to have the title transferred.
