MA: Bill of sale for a trade+cash?

[schleppy]

I'll be trading my DR + cash for a different bike this Friday. Does anyone know if there is anything special I have to include in the bill of sale to accomplish this? The bike I'm trading for is also titled (and located) out of state.

Thanks all!

N/M I see you are looking for specifics on the trade...

It doesn't matter on the price, the RMV is going to charge you sales tax on book value of the bike you're getting anyways.

I assumed this. I just wanted to make sure I got the wording correct so I didn't run into any issues.

It sounds like it really doesn't matter what's there as long as everything is signed over properly (read: title).
