Unlike an outright sale, this form is specifically designed to record installment payments, making it essential for transactions where full payment is not made upfront.
What’s included in this form

- Specification of who holds the title during the payment period
Common use cases
This form should be used in situations where a vehicle is sold, and the buyer intends to pay part of the purchase price over time. It is commonly used when the buyer cannot afford to pay the total price upfront but still wants to secure the vehicle. Using this promissory note helps protect the seller by outlining the payment expectations and rights in case of default.
