Where can I draw up a correct car purchase and sale agreement?
As such, the concept of a “correct contract” does not exist; it can be drawn up in simple written form, but it must indicate all the technical characteristics of the vehicle, so you can draw it up yourself without legal assistance. This is not difficult to do, but it is better to use ready-made forms so as not to miss anything important.
1 Fill out each column of the contract form. Be sure to indicate the date and place of the transaction, all necessary details of the seller and buyer, as well as the vehicle. Be sure to decipher the transaction amount in words.
2 Make sure all data is entered correctly. Carefully copy your passport data (must be written exactly as in your passport), as well as car data from the STS and PTS. Even the slightest mistake can lead to the recognition of the contract as not concluded. If you write the contract by hand and make a mistake, unfortunately, it is better that you have to start over. It’s good that you now know where to get a blank form of a car purchase and sale agreement.
3 Sign the agreement. It is necessary to sign the contract after exchanging money for keys and documents from the car.

Please note that in case of selling a car, the number of unused days is calculated from the day following the day the notice of termination is written. Thus, the sooner you contact your insurance company, the greater the payment will be.
