If you want to sell your car in New Mexico to a private party, there are some state-specific rules to follow. This guide will take you through the steps.
Step 1 - Gather Documents
Certificate of Title
Complete the back of the certificate.
- Buyer name and address.
- Selling price.
- Date of sale.
- Odometer reading.
- Signatures of you and the buyer.
If it doesn’t have an assignment of title section you’ll need to complete one of these documents:
- Bill of Sale (Form MVD10009).
- Odometer Disclosure Statement (Form MVD10187).
- Application for Vehicle Title and Registration (Form MVD10002).
Your PrivateAuto listing includes New Mexico forms you can complete and sign straight from the app.
Bill of Sale
New Mexico law doesn’t require a bill of sale unless the title lacks an assignment of title area. But it’s still a good idea for you and the buyer to have copies of one. It can help you both if any legal or tax issues come up.
Vehicle History Report
Show that you’re a trustworthy seller with a vehicle history report. We recommend AutoCheck, the report with the best value.
Step 2 - Arrange a Test Drive
PrivateAuto gives you access to the test drive scheduling tool. Pick a place to meet your buyer and select days and times you’re available.
Step 3 - Complete the Deal
Remove the license plates before you hand over the title and keys. You can transfer them to another car you own within 30 days.
