No Title
Lost your title—or never had one? In many states we can still buy your vehicle as-is with extra verification. Get a firm cash quote by phone, free towing, and same-/next-day pickup in most areas. We’ll explain the state-specific path step by step.
Who We Help When There’s “No Title”
Lost or Misplaced
You once had a title but can’t find it now. We’ll outline the duplicate-title path and alternatives your state may allow.
Estate or Family Vehicles
The owner passed away or moved. We’ll explain probate, successor, or POA options as your state permits.
Out-of-State Moves
Car titled in another state? We routinely purchase with out-of-state paperwork when the owner is on record.
Name Mismatch
Marriage/divorce or prior owner signed but never transferred? We’ll review acceptable fixes for your DMV.
Paid-Off Loans
Lien was satisfied but the title never updated. We’ll ask for a lien release or payoff letter to clear ownership.
What We Cannot Buy
Stolen or abandoned vehicles, active liens without release, and cars with legal holds cannot be purchased.
How It Works When There’s No Title
- Call for a quote. Share year/make/model, VIN if handy, condition, and what documents you do have.
- We confirm your path. We’ll explain your state’s acceptable alternatives (duplicate title, bill of sale, affidavit, etc.).
- Lock your offer. If you like the number, we schedule pickup and outline exactly what to have ready.
- Free towing + verification. A licensed carrier arrives, verifies documents and VIN, and loads the vehicle.
- Get paid at pickup. No surprise deductions—as long as details match and paperwork is correct.
Note: Not all states allow a sale without a physical title. If a duplicate is required, we’ll help you follow the quickest route.
Documents That May Work (State-Dependent)
Often Accepted
- Current/Recent Registration in the seller’s name
- Government ID that matches the registered owner
- Lien Release (if a lender was ever recorded)
- Signed Bill of Sale (we can provide a template)
- Duplicate Title Receipt or confirmation from DMV
- Affidavit of Ownership / Statement of Facts (where allowed)
Special Circumstances
- Power of Attorney (limited, properly executed)
- Executor/Heir Forms for estates & probate
- Bonded Title path (select states)
- Out-of-State Title with name match on ID
- Mechanic/Storage Lien sale paperwork (where applicable)
We’ll tell you which items apply to your state before pickup. We do not provide legal advice.
What Influences Your Cash Offer
- Year, make, model, and trim
- Mileage and mechanical condition
- Completeness (catalytic converter, wheels/tires, battery present)
- Location & access (street, driveway, garage, rural)
- Title/ownership path (how many forms are needed)
- Local demand for parts and current metal prices
Accuracy matters: Be upfront about condition and paperwork—this helps us lock your price with no changes at pickup.
Legal & Compliance
We follow state and federal rules. We cannot buy stolen vehicles or cars with active liens unless you provide a valid lien release or lender approval. Requirements vary by state and may include notarization. We provide general guidance only—no legal or tax advice.
