Snowmobile Bill of Sale Form

Clean and detail the snowmobile. Should you choose to conduct repairs or maintenance, you’ll be likelier to sell the vehicle for a higher price.

Begin by researching the current snowmobile market to determine a fair price for your vehicle. You can use general sites like Craigslist and eBay Motors or specialized sites like SnowmobileTrader and Sledswap. When setting your price, consider the age, condition, and odometer reading of your snowmobile.

List the snowmobile in online classifieds and other sites, such as Facebook Marketplace. Also consider advertising in the online meeting spaces for snowmobile enthusiasts, such as Snowmobile Forum and HCS Snowmobile Forums.

Make sure there are no liens or encumbrances on the title by contacting the department that registers snowmobiles in your state and requesting a title search or vehicle history report. Clear any existing liens by contacting the lienholder and paying off the outstanding balance. Obtain a lien release, then submit it to the relevant licensing department in your county, which will issue you a new title.

Gather and input the following information:

• Date of Sale
• Buyer’s Name and Address
• Seller’s Name and Address
• Purchase Price
• Snowmobile Information
  • Make
  • Model
  • Year
  • Color
  • Serial Number
  • Vehicle ID Number (VIN)
  • Odometer Reading

Registering a snowmobile after it transfers ownership is the buyer’s responsibility.
