1. Get a CarFax report - use the forums here for a cheaper way
2. If you have been bringing it to a regular garage that you trust, pay for the safety inspection. If it passes, you can then say the car has been safetied. If not they will usually give you a list of what it needs and costs. People will ask what it needs.
Many garages will recheck in 30 days for a lower fee to the buyer if they want to do their own work or bring it to your garage & have them do the work. The certificate will cost a little more ($30 or so) but is valid for 30 days.
3. In either case, be prepared for people that want to have their mechanic look at it.
4. If you have maintenance receipts. Put them all together for the buyer. Maintenance helps, even if it is parts receipts and you DIY.

If you want a quick sale, make it easy for the buyer. An As-Is sale without these steps will likely get you much less. It should cost <$200 that you can tack onto the asking price.

where would I get the bill of sale ?
a signed Bill of Sale with your name, the buyer’s name and address, the date and purchase price

and this

a completed and signed Application for Transfer — this is found on the back of an ownership permit, under the vehicle portion

it also ask for
a certificate that verifies the vehicle meets safety standards (if required)
​you will need to get this from a licensed mechanic
but if i am selling it as it is ,I cant chose not to have this .

and on top of that the car is only worth 2500-3000

Then list what it needs in the ad. That will keep anybody that does not want to do that kind of work from calling you.
Make sure you say the car is currently unplated & uninsured. That will keep anyone wanting to test drive away. Chances are you will get a used car dealer that has plates & will want to low ball you.
On the UVIP where it provides a section for the receipt simply write "Sold AS-IS".

People are probably gonna be offering like $500 citing things like it can't be [test] driven, isn't certified, etc. It's got a lot of kms too, which doesn't help anything.

Not sure what you're willing to take as minimum but you'll probably be able to sell it for like $1k fairly easy if it's worth what you say it is. But getting closer to your asking price may take more time, and a lot of ignoring the lowballers. Best of luck.

Once they try it and we agreed on it .If I sell it AS IT IS and they find some other issue at safety or the car can never pass safety due to some issue would I be held Liable. Or i am covered by writing as it is
