In most cases, you will need to have the title of the vehicle before you can sell it to another person or party. The title denotes who owns the vehicle and in most states in necessary to transfer before you can sell your car or truck.
However, what if you do not have a title?
Perhaps you inherited the vehicle from a family member, but they failed to include the title. Or, perhaps your lost the title which is common for vehicles that are no longer in drivable condition. Whatever the circumstances, if you find yourself with a junked vehicle that has no title, there are still one or two ways that you can legally sell it.
Get a Duplicate Title
If you owned the vehicle, then you should be able to get a duplicate title from the state. Records of titles are kept by the state for all vehicles that are purchased and registered within its borders. So, you should go to the official state website and follow the directions for getting a duplicate title sent to you.
Depending on where you live, you may be able to visit the office itself or a branch location that can provide you with a duplicate title within a few minutes. You will need to pay a fee and provide proof that you are the owner of the vehicle which usually requires an active driver’s license.
However, if you receive the vehicle through other means and have no way to get a duplicate title, then your best course of action is to sell it to a junk dealer.
Junk Dealers
The best way to sell your junked vehicle is to go to a reputable junk dealer. You should call the company and ask about their policy for purchasing cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans that have no proper title. The representative of the company will tell you their procedure which should follow state regulations when it comes to selling junked cars.
Once you are told the process, you can follow the steps that they have laid out and the next step should be an offer for your junked car. This should include any registration and a license that will act as proof if you lack a title for your vehicle. However, if they cannot tell you about the process or do not have provisions to purchase your vehicle, you should move on to the next company.
