Bill of Sale
Sponsored ByTop The Basics
A bill of sale is similar to a receipt; it shows the amount of money paid for a vehicle, the seller's name, the buyer's name and can even record such information as the odometer reading and any terms related to the sale.
Top Proof of Purchase Price
In Kansas, the DMV has an Affidavit of Purchase Price to use in the transfer or sale of a motor vehicle. There is also the required Odometer Disclosure Statement that must accompany any vehicle 10 years old or newer.

Ordering a vehicle history report is a critical step in the used car buying process. Failing to do so could result in the purchase of a vehicle with frame, flood, or fire damage, odometer rollback and more. Stay on the safe side, and order a vehicle history report before you buy a used vehicle.
Top Clear Title
You also need to be sure that the back of the title has the signature and hand printed names of both buyer and seller. The purchase price of the vehicle should also be listed on the title.
Top Quiet Title Action
It is of the utmost importance that you get a clear title, with all paperwork completed and the title signed off in the correct places. If you are on your way to meet a seller, have a copy of the Affidavit of Purchase or a blank bill of sale to complete.
It is strongly suggested that you make sure you have all of your paperwork in place before you and the seller finalize the sale. If you purchase a vehicle from a private party and later discover that there is a problem with the necessary forms or the title, and you cannot locate the seller, you must begin the process for a "quiet title action."
A Court Order May Be Required
In the case of a quiet title action, you must speak with and possibly hire an attorney to help you. You will need to go to court and request that the judge issue a court order to the Kansas Department of Revenue, so that they may change the title of the vehicle. This process may take up to several weeks to complete. During the waiting time, it will not be legal for you to drive the vehicle.
Top Out of State Purchase
If you purchase a vehicle from a business or from a private party located outside of Kansas, you'll need the Affidavit of Purchase form to be completed.
