ok so i got this car that im trying to get rid of it, its pretty much a gutted hatch and im wondering if i bring it to the junk yard to have it scrapped, do i need the title of the car?
Yes. You have to sign the title over to the junkyard or whoever picks it up.
No, you do not need the title. As far as I know whoever takes it there just needs to sign off that it is not stolen and everything its on the up and up. It may depend on who takes it and where, but my friend that works for a tow company never needs the title. I’ve had him take a few and we’ve never needed them before.
ummmmmm, rx3 why do u say yes?
Because when I junked my first car (89 Mazda 626), I signed over the title to the junkyard that picked it up, and they gave me money for it. :shrug:
MAybe the rules are different if you give it to them for free?
im thinking that might be it, i dont want any cash i just want that shit out of my fucking garage
so apparently as long as theres no engine/tranny they dont care about the title
hmm good to know, I have to get rid of my jeep comanche. gotta get someone to pick it up
as long as its valued under around $500 all they do is copy your lic. and have u sign it. u can still get some money out of it by selling it to a scrap yard.
If either of you just want the cars gone for free PM me and I can give you my friends number, he’ll come get them just about any time.
well someone from the board is gonna help me out with getting it over to the junkyard, the car doesnt have any front suspension so its not gonna be tooo easy to just take it
No You don’t need a title for a shell (i’ve turned in two of them)
No You don’t need a title for a parts car (with drivetrain - I’ve turned in 1 of those)
If You are selling the junk car to the yard, You need a title. (i’ve done that twice)
All places are different and some don’t care - situation dependant. There are governing bodies, but in the end some places are just looking at the scrap metal (in the case of stripped parts cars).
$0.02
anything left on it? hehe
i think its about $50 to junkyard the car…maybe…
Call Twin Village Recycling 683-5373
They tow for free and the car doesn’t have to be rolling. They’ll just drag it onto the flatbed. No title needed, but they probably won’t give you anything for it (without the motor or tranny).
jessie james auto wrecking took my regal no drivetrain and gave me 80 bucks
nice thanks guys
My friends uncle tows in cars all the time and hes always need a title?
