How much will I get if I sell my junk car in Michigan?

We work to connect out-of-commission vehicles with auto salvage yards and Michigan junk car buyers. Because we network with these resources, we can get you top dollar for your old car.

Old and Beaten

Age and condition have the most impact in deciding how much your car is worth. This category for junk cars include the vehicles that are rotted, unable to run, and don’t have any usable parts. These cars are still worth something even if they’re only used for scrap metal. We can often pay between $150 and $300 for these vehicles.

Moderately Damaged

Many people find themselves with a car that will cost them more in repairs than the car is worth. Junk yards purchase these cars for their parts or salvage for scrap. Nearly 75% of these cars are reusable or have recyclable pieces. We pay top dollar for junk cars even if they don’t run and have body damage.

Used, Not Junk

Cash for junk cars in Michigan isn’t limited to cars that are no longer drivable. You might have forgotten about that Toyota Camry in your garage that needs work. But, that doesn’t mean that its useless. The right buyer may be able to put your car back on the road or use it for other repairs.

How to sign your Michigan car title

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Michigan title when you are selling your vehicle. If there are multiple owners listed on the title, they must all sign the title unless the names are separated with "OR".

1. Make sure you use the front of your Michigan title when signing. You need to use the section called "Title assignment by seller". Don't write anything in the Michigan dealer sections on the back!
2. First sign the front of the title where indicated by "Signature of Seller(s)".
   Always sign in pen on the seller line and never sign in the dealer section.
3. Print (don't sign) your name on the front of the title where it reads "Printed Name of Seller(s)".
   Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.

2. Or, fill out the Michigan Application for Vehicle Title form.

Frequently asked questions questions about selling a car in Michigan

I don’t have my title, can you still buy my car in Michigan?

Yes! In some cases we can purchase vehicles with no title in some cases. However, our no title offers are often significantly lower than offers with title. You’ll also be asked to prove that you own the vehicle. The buyer may ask for a photo ID that matches a current, non-expired registration. We do not guarantee purchase of any vehicle without a title.

What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?

Michigan often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Michigan SoS.

Do I need to turn in my license plates?

Yes, unless you are transferring the plates to a new vehicle. You can return the plates to your local SoS office.

What should I do about my auto insurance?

You will need to notify your auto insurance company that you have sold the vehicle so they can either cancel your policy if the vehicle was sold, or transfer/renew the policy on your new vehicle.

Is there anything else I need to do?

You may need to notify your local SoS that you have sold the vehicle. You can contact them with any additional questions or concerns about the transfer of your title.
