PURPOSE: This rule prescribes the form which shall be used when a vehicle is sold for junk, salvage or for rebuilding and not inspected under the motor vehicle inspection regulations. This is a requirement of section 307.380, RSMo.

(1) When a vehicle is sold for junk, salvage or for rebuilding, the purchaser must give to the seller an affidavit signed before a notary public stating that the vehicle is being purchased for that purpose. A copy of the affidavit will be given to the buyer. The affidavit shall be written in the prescribed manner and shall contain the following information:

has not been inspected and is in an unsafe mechanical condition. The vehicle is being purchased for junk, salvage or rebuilding. I understand that the vehicle cannot be operated in its present condition; therefore, I agree that the vehicle will either be towed or hauled from the place of purchase. I further understand that the vehicle cannot be registered and operated upon a public highway until I have the vehicle inspected. If any defects are discovered in the vehicle's brakes, lights, turn signals, steering mechanism, horn, mirrors, windshield wipers, tires, wheels, exhaust system, glass or fuel tank, during the inspection, they must be repaired at my own expense.

I certify that I have read the above statement, or that the above statement has been read to me, and that I fully understand the conditions under which the vehicle is being purchased.
