How to Sell a Vehicle in Kentucky?
When selling your vehicle in Kentucky, the most important document you have to fill out is the car Title. You need to complete all of the required fields on the back of the Title and sign it. You must also provide the buyer with the information necessary to fill out Form TC 96-182, Application for Kentucky Certificate of Title or Registration. This document may be required to complete the transfer if the Title for the car you are selling was issued before the year 2000. If you are selling your vehicle to an out-of-state resident, do not forget to inform your County Clerk's office about the sale and provide them with the name and state of the buyer. You will have to return your Kentucky license plate as well.
Though the Kentucky Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale is not a part of the required documentation, you are recommended to fill it out anyway. If properly completed, this document will protect your legal interests from any fraudulent claims connected with the deal that may arise in the future. It is a purchase receipt that contains a lot of useful details both you and the buyer may need.

- Enter the sales price both in words and in digits;
