How to Sell a Car in Colorado to a Private Party

Selling a car in the Fort Collins area involves a lot of paperwork and involvement with the DMV if you plan to sell to a private party. You also need to either take the risk of strangers coming to your home to see the car or go through the hassle of meeting the other person at another location, hoping they show up. Follow the steps below to sell your car to a private party:

What the Seller Needs to Do

• Remove the license plates from the vehicle and return them to the motor vehicle agency, unless you are transferring them to another vehicle. Note: license plates can not be transferred to another owner.
• Sign the back of the title in the seller’s field and provide the title to the buyer.
• Provide a bill of sale that includes: buyer’s name and address, date of sale, mileage odometer reading, sale price.

What the Buyer Needs to Do

• Sign the buyer’s section on the back of the title and fill in his or her driver’s license number or EIN.
• Bring the title and a filled out Vehicle Registration Application (Form BA-49) if applicable, to the motor vehicle agency.
• Pay titling and registration fees.
