Answer:
If a customer wants to buy a car from you and uses part of their tax refund as a down payment, you may need several documents and accounts. A promissory note is essential, which can be either secured or unsecured. A secured promissory note allows you to take collateral if the borrower fails to make payments. This collateral can include various types of property, such as stocks or accounts receivable. The note can specify payment terms, including installments or a balloon payment at the end.
You may also consider a confessed judgment agreement, which simplifies the process if the borrower defaults. This agreement allows a judgment to be entered against the borrower without them claiming defenses.
Additionally, a bill of sale is necessary to transfer the vehicle's title to the buyer, indicating that a contract was formed. The proceeds from the sale can be deposited into various accounts, such as a checking or savings account. For specific options and interest rates, it’s advisable to consult with a local banker.
