FAQs

Is it safe to sell car based on sale letter ?

Selling a car based on a sale letter alone is not considered the safest method. While a sale letter can serve as proof of the transaction, it does not provide the same level of security as other documents, such as a vehicle title or a bill of sale. The sale letter primarily outlines the details of the sale, but it may not be sufficient to fully protect both the buyer and the seller.

Do I need a sale letter if I'm selling a vehicle to a family member or a close friend?

Yes, even when selling a vehicle to a family member or a close friend, it is important to have a sale letter. This document formalizes the transaction, protects both parties, and prevents any potential disputes in the future.
