If you have a gain on the sale, it would appear on schedule D as a capital gain. 

 

Normally, the personal portion of a vehicle sale would not be reported on your tax return though. This is because you cannot deduct the loss on sale of a personal vehicle and you cannot depreciate a personal vehicle. So, you normally sell a personal vehicle for less than what you paid for it.
