A promissory note is a legally binding document that contains the details of a loan transaction. A promissory note for car loan is an agreement by the buyer and the seller of the car that states the amount of the car loan and the details of how it will be paid. This will include any interest charged and the payment schedule. The note should also state any grace periods for late payments and penalties for defaulting or not making required payments.

A promissory note is different from an IOU. Even if an IOU is notarized, it may not be legally binding and it will most likely not contain specific repayment details. With a loan as large as a car loan, a promissory note will be required. This gives the lender proof that the debt exists.
