Selling a car is a big deal for someone that needs to upgrade or get rid of a junk car that they have on their property. A car that is not working or has been in an accident and has been totaled out is often called a junk car. The cost to make the necessary repair far exceed what the cost of the car would be. That is why it is best to take the car to a junkyard or sell it for cash. There are many garages that will take a junk car off your hands and even pay you for it. They want the cars for the parts that another car of the same make and model might need. Now that you have a car that has maybe been sitting and you want to sell it for junk or sell it outright you need to prepare the car that includes locating the title.
Citywide Towing Lists what Paperwork You Need to Sell Your Car
Do You Have a Clear Car Title: When you purchase a new car and you have to get a loan there is a process. The car is bought and paid for you by the bank that you choose to finance. Then the car keys are handed to you and you drive off. The payments are the car have to be met of the car will be repossessed. During the time that you are making payments there is what is called a lien on the title. This is to ensure that the bank is paid before you are able to sign the title over to another person. It is their way to secure the debt. Before you buy or sell a car you need to be sure that there is not a lien on the title or that the title is clear and clean.
Apply For a New Car Title if Lost: If you are ready to get rid of a car or sell it you want to make sure that you have the title before you do anything. If you do not have a title already or you have misplaced it you want to go to your local DMV and apply for a new title. The new title can be sent for and when it is ready it will be mailed to your house. Often this takes some time and you want to make sure that you leave enough time before you junk or sell it. Be prepared to show some kind of proof that the vehicle does actually belongs to you.
Buying or Selling a Car with a Lien: If you have a lien on the car title and you want to sell it you still can. If there is a lien you need to take care of it before hand. The way that you do this is to call the bank and get a payoff so that you know what the cost is to clean the title. Then you need to work with who is buying the car to send the money direct to the bank so you are not stuck in the middle. The title will be clear and the sell will be able to go through.
