Selling a rebuilt travel trailer in Illinois
When selling a rebuilt travel trailer through a private party sale in Illinois, 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 rebuilt vehicles in Illinois
Illinois issues a "Rebuilt" title after a salvage vehicle passes an inspection by the Secretary of State Police. All parts used in the rebuild must be documented with receipts.
Required disclosures
Illinois Vehicle Code 625 ILCS 5/3-308 requires disclosure of the rebuilt brand. The bill of sale must include the title brand.
Buyer warning
An Illinois Rebuilt title indicates the vehicle was previously a total loss. The Secretary of State Police inspection checks for stolen parts and basic safety, but is not a comprehensive mechanical evaluation.
