When your vehicle is no longer serving its purpose, you might need to consider selling it – Especially if it is simply collecting dust out on your lawn. Unfortunately it can be difficult to sell a lemon through traditional venues such as newspapers or Craigslist ads if it doesn’t even run anymore. When faced with this situation, it becomes your best interest to sell your car quickly with a company that will collect the vehicle for you and pay you cash on the spot! This is where we step in – Although there are a few things to keep in mind when selling your junk car for cash.
Just like when you sell or gift a typical car, you’ll need to sign over a title when selling your junk car for cash. Throughout this fairly simple process, there are multiple things that both the buyer and seller need to consider.
In the state of Utah, the DMV believes it is the responsibility of the seller to find and transfer the new title over to the buyer. As the buyer, we ensure that you follow all of the necessary steps to pass the title over or to replace a missing title. This can be done simply by requesting a duplicate title with your local DMV. Please double check that your address and all other personal information are up to date in order to ensure that the process goes along smoothly. However, often having no title is not a problem as long as you have the registration and the driver’s license – You typically don’t even need your keys!
Additionally, because there is essentially no commitment in this process other than earning cold, hard cash; we need to ensure that the car is not lost or stolen property, and that is does not have liens attached to the title. We will do this by calling or sending notice to a local police station in order to check on any possibilities that it may be stolen, we also conducted a full inspection of the vehicle. Following, we send a salvage notice to the state’s DMV; and if stolen, a notice to the owner.
To conclude, although we want to ensure the security and safety of purchasing your junk car for cash; there is very little commitment when doing so. The process does become much easier when you obtain a copy of the title along with your driver’s license to prove ownership of your junk car, but with a little digging; we are able to check on this as well.
