Massachusetts bill of sale for a vehicle
For buyers and sellers who want a written record of a private car sale in Massachusetts.
A Massachusetts bill of sale is not something we have confirmed yet. We cannot say whether the RMV site includes an official form. The title is what transfers the car: the seller signs the assignment on it, with the odometer reading and the warranty of title.
