But please note, even if we can buy junk cars with no title the offers will be significantly lower.

Does the title need to be in my name?

Yes, to legally sell a vehicle you must be the legal owner. The title must fully be in your name as well as registration.

Isaiah, 2006 Nissan Altima for $1000 - The car stopped running for me

Keevon, 2007 Ford F-150 for $955 - Radiator damage i believe. It would be easier for me to sell it because it would cost more to fix it.

Bronya, 2008 Chevrolet Aveo Ls for $500 - I have a new vehicle
