FAQ About Our Cash for Cars Service in Chicago
What do I need to sell my car in Chicago?
To sell your junk car in Chicago, Illinois, you'll need a valid title, state ID/driver's license, and vehicle registration. Lost titles can be replaced by submitting Form VSD 190 to the Illinois Secretary of State with the required fee. Form VSD 190.1 may be needed for ownership transfer. While selling without a title is possible using registration and a notarized bill of sale, most buyers require the title. Title replacement takes 10-15 business days in Illinois.
