Eric's Expert Take
Eric is our founder and CEO and has nearly 15 years of experience buying and selling used and junk cars in the state of Minnesota. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hello, I’m Eric Mitz, CEO of The Clunker Junker. I’ve been reviewing our recent offers in Minnesota and we’ve been paying, on average, about $505 for vehicles in this region. If we break it down by type, smaller cars like the Honda Civic average around $417. Meanwhile, pickup trucks such as the Chevrolet Silverado fetch the highest offers, averaging $679. SUVs and crossovers, like the Toyota RAV4, fall in between, with offers averaging about $605.
In the past 30 days, The Clunker Junker has purchased approximately 9,634 vehicles, paying out over $5 million to sellers! Our most popular purchase in Minnesota has been the Ford F-150, which is a pickup truck. Common issues with the F-150 include transmission problems and electrical system malfunctions. Because repairs can be costly, many owners choose to sell rather than fix these issues.
As an expert in the cash for cars industry, I can tell you that vehicle prices in Minnesota have been stable, changing by a mere 0.0% monthly. We’re in a similar pricing position as we were a year ago, and I foresee these prices holding steady for a bit longer. This stability makes it a great time to sell your car. I’ll continue monitoring the market and keep you updated with any new trends.
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".
- 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.
- 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. - 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:
- Fill out the Minnesota Application for duplicate title or registration form.
- Or, fill out the Michigan Application for Vehicle Title form.
- 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 - 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
- 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.
- 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.
