An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) bill of sale is a legal document used to record the transaction of an ATV from seller to buyer.

This document is necessary for putting the whole transaction on paper and clarifying the agreements of the transaction (such as price, condition, warranties, deposits, etc.).

This document may also need to be filled out before filling in title transfer paperwork and registration, so make sure you have the proper form on hand by downloading it here (link).

Chances are, your ATV has seen some rough terrain. Make sure to clean it so it looks good in photos and when buyers come to see it. This includes everything you can and can’t see (under the plastic, the radiator, wheels, etc.)

Make sure everything is in working order. If there are any lasting repairs that need to be made, then it might be best to do them before the sale. That way you can get more interested buyers and better offers for your ATV.

Put up ads online, on social media, in the newspaper, in auto and recreational shops, and public notices. Also, make sure to pass the word around to friends and family to reach as many people as possible.

Now you will need to make sure there are no liens or encumbrances on the title. This way you can clear it and prepare it for transfer to the new owner. Also, make sure you have the most up-to-date registration information so that you can include that on the bill of sale.

Once you have buyers looking to buy, negotiate a final sales price. Chances are you won’t find too many people willing to pay the advertised price upfront. So plan according to that until you come to a price you can both agree to.

Finally, it’s time to fill out the ATV Bill of Sale form. We make it easy for you! All you have to do is download the form and fill out the required information:

• Date of Sale
• Buyer’s Name & Address
• Seller’s Name & Address
• Vehicle Information
  • Make
  • Model
  • Year
  • Color
  • Number of Cylinders
  • Title Number (if applicable)
  • Odometer Reading
  • 17 Digit Vehicle ID Number (VIN)
  • Down Payment
  • Sales Price
  • Date Full Payment Is Due
  • Deadline Date for Vehicle Check
  • Signatures & dates of Seller, Buyer, and Witnesses

The buyer will probably want to inspect the ATV themselves and/or through a certified mechanic to make sure there are no unknown mechanical problems or concerns. If all looks good, then the purchase can be finalized.

And once the full price is paid, the title can be transferred to the buyer. Then the new owner can file for registration through the local DMV.
