Private Auto Sale Agreement

"I need a Private Auto Sale Agreement for selling my 2020 BMW 3 Series to a private buyer in Manchester, with specific clauses about the known electrical fault and a 7-day inspection period for the buyer."

Document background
The Private Auto Sale Agreement is essential for documenting private vehicle transactions in England and Wales. It should be used whenever a private individual sells a vehicle to another private individual, providing protection for both parties. The agreement includes crucial details about the vehicle, its condition, the sale price, and warranties or representations made by the seller. It helps prevent future disputes and ensures compliance with relevant legislation such as the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and the Road Traffic Act 1988. This document is particularly important as it creates a clear record of the transaction and the state of the vehicle at the time of sale.
