How do you sell a junk car without a title?

Public Comments

1. You have to find someone that buys junk cars with or without titles
2. If you have the VIN (vehicle identification number), you can order a replacement title. If the car is truly a junk car and won't ever be on the highway ever again, you can sell it by a private bill of sale. Just draw up a piece of paper with the buyer and seller's name on it, describe the vehicle as best you can, include the purchase price, and both of your sign it.
3. You can't. If you dont have the title, u have to be a 'landlord' and claim the car has been abandoned, then u can file for the title. Unless, u find someone who knows nothing about cars.
4. you can have a lost title search done throught the registry and then sell the car. Costs about 50 bucks for the service. If it is truly a junk vehicle that you want to get rid of many junk yards will buy it from you without too many questions asked as they in turn sell them in loads to large recyclers who also don't care where it came from cause to them it can be worth anywhere from 100 to150 bucks per Net ton (2000 Lbs). So a 4000 Lb scrap car is worth 200 - 300 bucks to the junk yard guy so he'll pay you about 40 bucks for it then sell off the parts. Good racket eh?
5. if you own the car legally you can sell it as is with no title just a bill of sale ( in NC anyway), or you can go to the DMV and file for a new title but that will cost you money.. if it's junk it's not worth the cash and the wait time
6. as a parts only car. or you can apply for a 'lost title' to get one, or a 'salvage title'
7. File for a lost title.
8. I think you can sell a junk car to a junk yard with out a title, since they'll be scrapping it for parts. And If they do happen to get the clunker road worthy again, then the junk yard can apply for a salvage title so they can sell the car again. Other than that, I don't know of any other way. Best to call your counties clerks office and find out if there's any other way available to you.
9. You do not have to have a title for a vehicle in order to sell it. The byer or the seller for that matter can apply for a new title from the state from which the car was bought. For example, I just sold a 94' Mitsubishi Eclipse with out a title. I bought the car in North Carolina. I call the office of finance there an apply/request a new title. It takes a few weeks. No big deal.
