You must provide the buyer a written disclosure of APR, finance charge, amount financed, total payments, and payment schedule. Failure to comply can expose you to civil liability.

Seller guidance
If you are selling as a private party offering financing (seller financing), the transaction is governed by the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Regulation Z (12 CFR Part 1026). You must provide the buyer a written disclosure of APR, finance charge, amount financed, total payments, and payment schedule. Failure to comply can expose you to civil liability.
Buyer guidance
When financing through a bank or credit union, your lender will place a lien on the title. You will not receive a clear title until the loan is paid off. Under TILA, you have the right to a written disclosure of all loan terms before signing. Review the APR and total cost of financing carefully.
Legal considerations
The Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. § 1601) and Regulation Z (12 CFR Part 1026) require written disclosure of all credit terms before consummation. The security interest must be perfected by recording the lienholder on the vehicle title with the state DMV. Buyers do not have a statutory right of rescission for vehicle purchases (rescission applies to home-secured credit under Reg Z § 1026.23).
