Even if it’s something simple as a button on the radio that doesn’t work, be sure to disclose it.
While some of this section of the car receipt, such as the door code, may not apply to you, it is wise to denote everything that you have given to the purchaser of the car so there is no question later if they claim that they did not receive one thing or another.
