  1. The purchase and sale agreement is a legal contract, which states that the dealer receives money/consideration for providing the buyer with a car.
  2. The purchase and sale agreement secures the financing and legal interests of the buyer and seller.
  3. In the State of Washington, the terms and conditions of a purchase and sale agreement include: “Agreement made as of the ___ day of ____, 20___ between Kamal Global Auto Dealers, Inc. (“Dealer”) and _____ (“Buyer”). Dealer agrees to sell, and Buyer agrees to purchase, the following automobile, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Make: _______________ ; Model: _________; Body Type: _____________; Year: _____; VIN: ________________; Color: ____________; Lic. No.: _______________.”
  4. The sale date is the date on which the buyer takes possession of the car, but it could also be the date on which the buyer signs the legal purchase and sale agreement and makes the payment.
  5. “Price paid” or “price owed” are various phrases used in relation to the amount that the buyer must pay to the dealer when obtaining possession of the vehicle.
  6. The “final sale price” includes all the costs, including all taxes and fees related to the sale, such as excise taxes, doc fees, etc.
  7. The agreement includes an indication of whether the buyer needs to make a down payment, and the amount of the down payment that the buyer needs to make at the time of the sale. The buyer may also need to make monthly payments. A portion of each monthly payment is considered “interest” which the dealer collects as a fee charged for the use of the money they lend you during the financing period.
  8. Any delays in the buyer making the first payment are noted and may be charged as a late fee. The buyer may not be charged/required to pay any late fees if their loan agreement with the lender prohibits the imposition of late fees.
  9. The buyer may be charged a penalty for failing to make timely payments, or the current interest rate may be raised, if the buyer fails to make timely payments.
  10. Under certain circumstances, the dealer may be entitled to recover damages if the buyer fails to fully complete and comply with the requirements of the purchase and sale agreement.
