Document background
The Used Car Sale Agreement is essential for documenting the transfer of ownership of a second-hand vehicle in Belgium. This document is required whenever a used vehicle changes ownership, whether between private individuals or involving professional dealers. It must comply with specific Belgian regulations, including the mandatory Car-Pass system, which provides mileage history and damage reporting. The agreement protects both buyer and seller by clearly stating the vehicle's condition, price, and terms of sale, while ensuring compliance with Belgian consumer protection laws and the Royal Decree of 5 September 2001 regarding used vehicle sales. It becomes particularly important in establishing clear rights and obligations, preventing future disputes, and maintaining compliance with Belgian tax and registration requirements.
