When selling a car to a private party, vehicle owners should always remove the license plates from the car and keep a copy of the signed bill of sale. Also, sellers should ensure that the car title is properly signed by both parties and keep a copy of the front and back of the signed title. According to the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles, a vehicle remains in the seller’s name until it is registered by the buyer.
