receipt template for car sale

Yes, you can absolutely DIY a receipt for a private car sale; it just needs the right boxes ticked so nobody cries later.

Include: seller and buyer full names, addresses and licence numbers; vehicle details (VIN, rego, make/model, year, odometer); sale price in AUD, payment method, date/time, “sold as‑is” note, and signatures from both sides.

Optionally add that there’s no money owing (PPSR checked), any warranties or RWC supplied, and whether plates are included.

Here’s a simple text template you can copy:
