Bill of sale for a car or other item ("as is") – free template (US)

A bill of sale records a private sale. Writing "as is" makes clear that you give no warranty on condition. For a vehicle, sign the title over to the buyer, record the odometer reading and check your state DMV for its own form, release of liability and plate rules. Some states require the bill of sale to be notarized.

Legal basis: Uniform Commercial Code § 2-316(3)(a) ("as is" sales, as adopted by each state); federal odometer disclosure, 49 U.S.C. § 32705 and 49 C.F.R. Part 580; your state DMV rules · Legal position: October 2026

Questions

Is this template really free?

What does “"As is" sale” mean?

Selling "as is" means you give no warranty about the condition. You still may not lie about known defects. A few states limit "as is" sales of cars.

What does “Certificate of title & odometer disclosure” mean?

For a vehicle, the seller signs the certificate of title over to the buyer and, for most vehicles, writes down the odometer reading. Many states also want a release of liability sent to the DMV.
