When I sell my junk car in Minnesota, how much will I get?

Determining what your junk car is worth relies on how old your car is, it’s make, model and of course, condition. Don’t be discouraged, we buy a wide variety of junk cars, but certain aspects do affect your cash offer.

This Junk Car Isn’t Worth Anything.

Some cars are “just junk” and have rotted in a side yard or the driveway for years. It’s true that you might not get a lot of cash for these cars, but they are worth something. Many old cars are useful for scrap metal, or recycling. We still pay cash for junk cars in this condition and usually sell them to junk yards. You can expect $50 to $225 for a junker in this condition.

Standard Junk Cars

Many cars receive the junk label because they at some point fell into disrepair. Most vehicles fall into this category. If your car hasn’t hit the bottom of junk car quality yet, you can probably get a few hundred dollars for it. A car in this category will usually still have some sought-after parts worth salvaging.

Not Really Junk

There are a lot of reasons companies label cars as junk. Insurance companies, or the lack of insurance can cause an otherwise excellent car to become nearly worthless. We don’t limit ourselves to junk cars only, and will also give you more cash for your used vehicle than other local junkyards.

How to sign your Minnesota car title

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Minnesota 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. To start, find the section titled "Assignment by seller (transferor)" on the front of the title. This is where you'll want to sign. Never write or sign anything on the back of the title in licensed dealer sections.
2. First, print (don't sign) your name on the front of the title where it reads "Seller's printed name(s)".
   Always sign in pen on the seller line and never sign in the dealer section.
3. Next, sign the front of the title where indicated by "Seller's signature(s)".
   Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.

How to get a duplicate Minnesota title

The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Minnesota title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Minnesota you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:

1. Fill out the Minnesota Application for duplicate title or registration form.
2. Or, fill out the Michigan Application for Vehicle Title form.
3. Bring your duplicate title application to the DVS office or mail the application and payment to:

   
   Driver and Vehicle Services - Central Office 
   Town Square Building 
   445 Minnesota Street, Suite 187 
   Saint Paul, MN 55101-5187
    

4. Please note that there may be a waiting period before a duplicate title can be issued and the cost is $8.25 plus an additional $10.00 filing fee.

How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Minnesota

Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Minnesota can be a difficult process. Unfortunately, you cannot just sell any junk car that ends up on your property if you do not own it. You'll need to follow the Minnesota abandoned vehicle removal procedures. We have given a general overview of what that entails below.

You can read more about selling an abandoned vehicle in Minnesota

1. To have an abandoned vehicle removed from your private property, you must request your local law enforcement to dispatch a towing order for the abandoned vehicle.
   
2. To apply for the title, you must first attempt to locate the last registered owner and/or lienholder for the vehicle. You may do this by using the 17-digit VIN number and doing a record search at your local DVS.
   Otherwise, the vehicle will be sold at public auction after (15) fifteen days since a notice has been delivered to the last registered owner of the vehicle.

Common questions

Can you buy vehicles with no title in Minnesota?

Yes! While we do not guarantee that we can purchase every car, we have purchased many vehicles without title in MN. Our buyers generally require a registration or insurance card that matches a photo ID of the legal owner. Don’t be surprised if your offer is lower without title as resale options are more limited for our buyers.

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

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

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 DVS 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 will need to complete the online Report of Sale form within 10 days of selling your vehicle.
