Anyone have any Pages templates for selling a car?

Make/model/year/trim, VIN, Odometer reading, price, acknowledgement of receipt of title (or that there is none), signatures, date.
This is the sanest way.
But you can write your own simple sales contract if you really want.
"Party A (name, drivers license number) sells Item X (VIN) to Party B (name, drivers license number) in exchange for _____ (include dollar figure) on date (date of transaction, location)." That establishes who is buying what from whom for what amount on what date and where (the latter is important for jurisdiction).
Including the phrase "All laws governing private party automobile transactions in the state of ______ are applicable" shows that both parties agree to the state's regulations. The big one in my state relates to smog compliance.
At least in my state, the title needs to be free and clear to indicate that the seller doesn't have any outstanding obligations (like registration fee payments). All of this is covered in the state's vehicle code so saying "both parties are following state regulations" eliminate the necessity to regurgitate all of the individual points.
If you want, you can throw in a line like "the sale is final and non-refundable" if that is the case. Once the buyer signs, it is clear that he/she accepted this particular term.
Do not rely on Pages to provide templates for legal documents. They vary by juridiction.

Thanks...this one looked promising as an actual free one, but it is one of those that you have to sign up for it but you get a 'free' trial where they will charge you...I don't trust those but it seems like everyone seems to do thatDownload it!

Hmm, my experience was different. . I clicked on the site & was able to select my state, then on the right of the screen was able to download a PDF without having to create an account or give any personal info.
