FAQ About Selling Your Car for Cash in Columbus

Questions? We've got answers.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car in Columbus?

You’ll need the title in your name and a valid photo ID to sell a vehicle in Columbus. The title must list you as the owner, not just be signed over to you. We may be able to verify ownership through alternative documents if you are missing the title. Check with your local buyer before closing the deal to make sure you have everything you need.

If you’re unsure about the process, see our guide on how to transfer a car title in Ohio for step-by-step instructions.

Can I sell my junk car with no title in Columbus?

We may still be able to buy your junk car with no title depending on its age, condition, and location. We would still need to verify ownership of the vehicle. Contact us if you have additonal questions to sell your car with no title in Ohio.

How long is my quote valid?

Due to fluctuations in market demand and scrap metal prices in Columbus, our offers can change at any time until they are accepted.

Can I sell my car without a catalytic converter?

Yes, but the price may be lower. Vehicles missing a catalytic converter or fitted with an aftermarket one often lose resale and scrap value. We’ll still make an offer either way.

Some converters hold surprising worth — learn the typical catalytic converter scrap value so you know what to expect.

Do newer parts or tires increase the offer?

Sometimes. If the vehicle has resale potential, newer tires or working parts can raise the value. For older or scrap-only cars, parts typically don’t affect the price.

What happens to my vehicle after I sell it?

We assess every vehicle for resale, part-out, or recycling. If it’s roadworthy, we may resell it through licensed buyers. If not, we recycle it by draining fluids, salvaging parts, and crushing the frame in compliance with EPA standards.
