I've just recently sold my car on ebay (thanks to you lot! ) and the guy is collecting tomorrow.
What do i need to do in terms of a receipt.
IE something like
Mercedes (spec)
to : (guys address)
sold for £950
From
(my name address)
Sold as seen
then both sign.
Is this the correct thing to do or what as its the first time that I have sold a car
Thanks

That's more than fine  Don't forget to date it as well and put something like "eBay item #######" just for reference. Do two as well - one he keeps, one you keep. Get the V5 filled and signed properly as well - this is the most important part of the process and selling a car without one is actually constituted a punishable offence by the DVLA and it'll ensure that ownership crosses over so he recieves any information about the car from then on (I've never seen action taken for this yet but I suspect if something happened, they might). Give the new owner the appropriate pieces of the V5 and you keep the rest and put it in the post, so you know it's done I think that's about it |

This is what I use when I occasionally sell a car - seems to cover most bases.
Receipt for Private Used Vehicle Sale
Vehicle Make and Model:
Year of Manufacture
Registration Mark
VIN Number
Colour:
Vendor:
Address:
Purchaser:
Address:
The vehicle, as detailed above, is sold as seen and approved by the purchaser: .................... for the amount of..........................
No warranty of any kind is implied or given by the vendor, ........................., on the vehicle.
Mr ....................takes possession of and accepts full responsibility for the vehicle from ………………………….on 10th March 2005 and thereafter.
Hope this helps.

In this day and age of speed cameras, might be well worth putting the time as well as the date sold.
V5 is the important bit. DO NOT let the buyer take the entire document away. Give them the green slip, get them to fill in the necessary section on the main part and then YOU send it off (or you put it to one side and forget about it - sorry mr plums!!)

putting too much might make you look like a shady dealer. Yeah, I agree there. Lots of 'if it's broke it isn't my fault' lawyer-wording on a receipt would make me a bit suspicious if I was the buyer, certainly. I just get two copies with both signatures, of the make, model, reg, time, date, and amount paid. Obviously with sold as seen on there. Make sure the V5c is filled in by the book too. |

Make sure a seperate pair of receipts is given for any deposits left (received amount of £xxx as deposit for vehicle A111AAA, balance to pay £xxx), don't be tempted just to lump it into one amount when the final payment is made.
I just put both names and signatures, vehicle description and reg, date and time. I do know of one guy that sold a car on a sunday and a week later received three seperate NIPs for speeding on the day of sale, as the guy had tazzed through cameras on the way home. There was no time on the receipt but luckily he had a home CCTV system which showed a lot of the sale, mainly the buyer driving off and the seller not leaving the house for hours. The police dropped it eventually but he was lucky, and learned a lesson!
I'd also avoid the very wordy ones. Stuff like 'buyer has viewed car and is happy with condition' seems fine, but anything like "accepting no responsibility" makes it sound like there is stuff wrong, the buyer just needs to find it!
