Used Car Forms and Lot Forms

Used inventory carries paperwork new inventory does not. Every unit has to be appraised, its condition documented, its cost tracked through reconditioning, and its sale disclosed properly. These are the forms that handle it, in carbonless multi-part formats that produce a signed record for the file and a copy for the customer.

Appraisal and Trade-In

Appraise on the lot rather than back at the desk. Three portable appraisal books cover it: Form #299, Form #TC-47, and the larger Form #298 at 4-1/4in x 8-1/2in. All are 3-part snap-out, with part 3 staying bound as your permanent record and a heavy wraparound cover to stop write-through. For a loose-form version, the used vehicle appraisal form is 3-part carbonless on white, canary, and heavier white tag stock. When a trade needs its condition disclosed as well as valued, the trade-in vehicle appraisal and disclosure form combines both on one 3-part form.

Inventory Tracking

Track units from acquisition through sale. The used vehicle inventory card is a 2-part patterned carbon card capturing both accounting and sales information, so each department gets the fields it needs from a single entry. The used car inventory card is the compact 2-part snap-out version for lot-level tracking, with a green and white tag color scheme that keeps the original and retained copy visually distinct.

Negotiation and Sale

Used vehicle order books work as a worksheet while you negotiate and as the final sales agreement at the point of sale, with a wraparound cover to prevent write-through. For the sale itself, the AS-IS dealer warranty disclaimer is a 2-part edge-glued form giving written proof the customer accepted a vehicle sold without warranty. That works alongside, not instead of, the window-posted AS IS buyers guide, which is separately required on used vehicles.

Records and Filing

The used car record book, known as a police book, is a bound hardcover register of used vehicle transactions and is required by law in some states. For the deal file itself, the used car record envelope is heavy 100# buff stock with a 1/2in extension to take a full document stack.

FAQ

Which appraisal book should I order?

All three are 3-part snap-out books that fit in a jacket pocket, so the difference is size and price. Form #299 is the most economical, Form #TC-47 sits in the middle, and Form #298 at 4-1/4in x 8-1/2in gives the most writing room. If you would rather use loose forms than a bound book, see the used vehicle appraisal form.

What is a police book and do I need one?

The used car record book is a bound register of used vehicle transactions, called a police book because law enforcement and state regulators may ask to inspect it. Some states require licensed dealers to keep one, and a bound book with sequential pages is harder to alter than a digital file, which is the point. Check your state's dealer licensing requirements before assuming your DMS records are sufficient.

Is the AS-IS disclaimer the same as a buyers guide?

No, and you generally need both. The AS IS buyers guide is the window form displayed on the vehicle before sale. The AS-IS dealer warranty disclaimer is a signed form in the deal file recording that the customer accepted the vehicle without warranty. One informs the shopper; the other documents their acknowledgment.

What is the difference between the two inventory cards?

The used vehicle inventory card is a 2-part patterned carbon card that captures accounting and sales information together, so different fields transfer to different copies. The used car inventory card is a compact 2-part snap-out for lot-level tracking, in green and white tag stock. Choose the first if accounting needs its own copy, the second for simple lot tracking.

Why use carbonless forms for appraisals?

An appraisal is a number you gave a customer, and it gets disputed. A 3-part carbonless form produces the customer's copy, the desk's copy, and the bound record from one writing, all matching. If the numbers on a trade are questioned weeks later, a retained copy in the appraiser's own handwriting settles it.

Do you have record envelopes specifically for used inventory?

Yes. The used car record envelope is 100# buff stock with a 1/2in extension, sized for the fuller document stack a used deal generates once recon, appraisal, and disclosure paperwork are included. For the wider range of formats and colors, see vehicle deal jackets.
