New Mexico Comprehensive Bill of Sale Pack

NEW MEXICO COMPREHENSIVE BILL OF SALE PACK

This comprehensive Bill of Sale Pack provides templates for transferring ownership of various types of property under New Mexico law. Select the appropriate form based on the property being transferred.

IMPORTANT: New Mexico vehicle titling and registration is administered by the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) under the Taxation and Revenue Department. New Mexico imposes a 4% Motor Vehicle Excise Tax on all vehicle purchases (not a sales tax — it is a separate excise tax). Buyer must apply for title within 30 days of purchase or face a $20 late fee plus potential penalty of 50% of the excise tax. Emissions testing is required only in Bernalillo County (Albuquerque area).

NEW MEXICO MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE TAX NOTICE: New Mexico imposes a 4% Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) on all motor vehicle purchases, including private-party sales. The tax is calculated on the purchase price of the vehicle less any trade-in credit. The MVET is collected by the NM MVD at the time of titling.

IMPORTANT — NADA VALUE RULE: For non-dealer sales, if the declared purchase price is less than 80% of the NADA average trade-in or wholesale value, the MVD will use the NADA value for tax calculation purposes. This prevents underreporting of purchase prices.

Gift Exemption: If the vehicle is a bona fide gift with no consideration exchanged, no excise tax is due. A notarized Affidavit of Gift of Motor Vehicle or Boat (Form MVD-10018) must be submitted with the title application.

☐ "AS-IS" SALE — NO WARRANTY

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE OR HAVE IT INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC OF BUYER'S CHOICE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. BUYER ACCEPTS THE VEHICLE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION AND ASSUMES ALL RISK OF DEFECTS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN.

NEW MEXICO LEMON LAW NOTICES:

New Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act (NMSA 1978 §§ 57-16A-1 through 57-16A-9):
This law applies to NEW motor vehicles. If a new motor vehicle does not conform to all applicable express warranties and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer, its agent, or authorized dealer during the express warranty term or during the first year following original delivery (whichever is earlier), the manufacturer must make necessary repairs. If after a reasonable number of attempts (four or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30+ cumulative business days out of service) the vehicle still does not conform, the manufacturer must replace the vehicle or provide a full refund. The consumer must provide prior direct written notification to the manufacturer before the presumption of reasonable repair attempts applies. This law does NOT apply to used vehicles sold in private-party transactions.

Used Motor Vehicle Implied Warranty (NMSA 1978 § 57-16A-3.1):
A used motor vehicle dealer shall not exclude, modify, or disclaim the implied warranty of merchantability (NMSA 1978 § 55-2-314) or limit remedies for breach of the warranty before midnight of the 15th calendar day after delivery or until the vehicle is driven 500 miles after delivery, whichever is earlier. An implied warranty of merchantability is met if the vehicle functions substantially free of a defect that significantly limits its use for ordinary transportation. The consumer shall pay one-half of the cost of the first two repairs necessary to bring the vehicle into compliance. This warranty applies only to dealer sales, not private-party transactions.
