Can you sell a junk car without a title in Michigan?
Often, yes. With a matching photo ID and proof of ownership — current registration in your name is the strongest — we can purchase many vehicles without the physical title. The requirements depend on the vehicle's age and your situation, which we confirm on the call.
What we may need instead of a title
Typically: a government photo ID that matches the registered owner, the vehicle registration, and sometimes a bill of sale or a lost-title affidavit. For some older vehicles, fewer documents are required. We tell you the exact list before pickup.
Situations we handle
Lost or misplaced title, title still at the bank, inherited vehicle, abandoned car on your property, or a registration-only situation. Each is different — call and describe it and we'll give you a straight answer.
When a title is required
Some vehicles and circumstances do require the title or additional DMV paperwork. If yours does, we'll tell you honestly rather than waste your time — and we can point you to the Michigan SOS steps to get a replacement.
