Document background
The Used Car Sales Receipt is a legally required document in Austria for documenting the transfer of ownership of a pre-owned vehicle. It serves multiple purposes: providing proof of purchase, meeting regulatory requirements, and protecting both buyer and seller's interests. The document must comply with Austrian legislation, including the ABGB (Civil Code), KFG (Motor Vehicle Act), and consumer protection laws when used in commercial sales. It should be used whenever a used vehicle changes ownership, whether between private parties or in commercial transactions. The receipt includes crucial information such as vehicle specifications, price, condition assessment, warranty terms, and ownership transfer details. This documentation is essential for vehicle registration changes and may be required by insurance companies, financial institutions, and government authorities.
