Selling a Nissan Maxima privately — what you need to know
The Nissan Maxima (2015–2025) is one of the most widely sold Cars in the private-party market. When you sell a Nissan Maxima to another private individual, a bill of sale is the primary legal document that transfers ownership and protects both buyer and seller. Without a bill of sale, the seller can remain liable for parking tickets, toll violations, and accidents involving the vehicle after the sale date.
Every US state has its own rules for Nissan Maxima bill of sale requirements — including whether notarization is required, how many days the buyer has to transfer the title, how sales tax is calculated, and what odometer disclosure language must appear on the form. Select your state above to get a Nissan Maxima bill of sale that meets your exact state requirements.
What every Nissan Maxima bill of sale must include
Regardless of state, a valid Nissan Maxima bill of sale must include:
- VIN — the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number stamped on the dashboard and door jamb
