Selling a certified rv in Utah

When selling a certified rv through a private party sale in Utah, a bill of sale protects both the buyer and seller by documenting the transaction details and the vehicle's condition at the time of sale.

Legal considerations for certified vehicles in Utah

A private party "certified" or inspected vehicle sale documents that a qualified inspection was performed before the sale. In some states, an implied warranty of fitness may attach when a vehicle is represented as inspected or certified. This differs from manufacturer CPO programs, which include factory-backed warranties and are only available through authorized dealers.

Required disclosures

The seller should provide the inspection report, the name and credentials of the inspector or facility, the date of inspection, and a clear statement of what the certification covers and does not cover.

Buyer warning

Private party "certified" claims do not carry the same weight as manufacturer CPO programs. Request documentation of who performed the inspection, what was inspected, and whether any warranty is included in writing.
