What needs to be provided to buyers when selling a used car?

When selling a used car, providing a disclosure statement about the vehicle's condition is essential. This statement informs buyers of any known issues, defects, or past events that have impacted the car's functionality or value. By disclosing this information, sellers ensure transparency and help buyers make informed decisions. It also protects the seller from potential legal claims if problems arise after the sale, as the buyer was made aware of the vehicle's condition prior to purchase.

While other options might seem relevant, they don't encompass the legal requirement for a disclosure statement about the vehicle’s condition, which plays a crucial role in the transaction process. Bills of sale are important for documenting the sale but do not convey the same level of detail about the car's condition. Warranties and complete maintenance histories may be offered, but they are not mandatory for the sale of a used vehicle in the manner that a disclosure statement is.
