Selling a vehicle — Vermont Permit Test
Selling a vehicle on the Vermont permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
Selling a vehicle means giving the new owner a bill of sale with the purchaser's name, your signature, the date of sale and the year, make, serial number and price of the vehicle.
The bill of sale is what proves the car stopped being yours on a particular day.
Give the new owner a bill of sale that includes the purchaser(s) name, seller(s) signature, date of sale, and the year, make, serial number and amount of money you were paid for the vehicle.
An odometer statement must be signed by both the seller and the buyer on every sale of a vehicle of model year 2011 or newer.
The mileage is most of what a used car is worth, so both parties sign to say what it was.
An odometer statement is required to be signed by both seller and buyer on all sales of vehicles model year 2011 or newer.
Remove your registration plates from a vehicle you sell or trade, and sign the back of the title showing the new owner's name and address, the mileage and the date of sale.
Plates left on a sold car leave you attached to whatever it does next.
Remove your registration plates from the vehicle.
On the test
What must a bill of sale for a Vermont vehicle carry?
The buyer, the seller's signature, the date and the price. The bill of sale is what proves the car stopped being yours on a particular day. 2025 Vermont Driver's Manual, p.65: “Give the new owner a bill of sale that includes the purchaser(s) name, seller(s) signature, date of sale, and the year, make, serial number and amount of money you were paid for the vehicle.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
