Harsh weather and old age cause many vehicles to stop working. We purchase cars that won’t start or run at all.

Cars damaged in collisions are common here due to icy roads and heavy traffic. We accept vehicles with minor or major accident damage.

Common Questions About Selling Your Car in Michigan

Q: Do you buy cars that don’t run or have failed engines in Michigan?
A: Yes, we buy vehicles in any condition across all Michigan counties including those with engines that don’t run or have failed. Whether your car is from Wayne, Kent, or Oakland County, we’ll make you an instant offer by phone and provide free towing.

Q: Can I sell a vehicle with a Michigan salvage title or flood damage?
A: Absolutely, we purchase cars with salvage titles or flood damage statewide. Michigan allows salvage titled vehicles to be sold legally, so we will buy them and handle all the necessary paperwork for free.

Q: Do I need to return Michigan license plates after selling my car to you?
A: No, Michigan law does not require you to return plates when you sell a vehicle. You should remove the plates and can transfer them to another vehicle or return them to a Secretary of State office for a refund.

Q: What if my Michigan car is locked and I don’t have the keys?
A: That’s not a problem. We buy vehicles without keys or ones that are locked. We have equipment and experience to safely tow locked cars from any Michigan county location including homes, apartments, or repair shops.

Q: How soon can you pick up a vehicle anywhere in Michigan?
A: We typically arrange pickup within a few days, sometimes same day depending on location and availability. Whether you’re in Macomb County or Ingham County, we offer free towing and flexible scheduling.

Q: Does mileage affect the offer you give me on my Michigan car?
A: Yes, mileage plays a role in determining your car’s value, but we consider it alongside condition and market demand. High-mileage vehicles may get lower offers especially in Michigan’s used car market, but we still pay cash for any condition.

Q: Can I sell a car that has been sitting unused outdoors in Michigan’s climate for years?
A: Yes, we buy long-sitting cars, even if they have rust especially common in Michigan’s lake-effect counties. We understand how harsh winters and road salt impact vehicles and offer fair cash prices regardless.

Q: Do modifications like lifted suspensions or custom audio increase my offer in Michigan?

Q: Can you pick up my vehicle from a Michigan apartment complex or crowded street?
A: Yes, we can tow vehicles from apartment complexes, streets, repair shops, or private driveways throughout Michigan including tighter urban areas in Genesee or Washtenaw County. Just let us know the details, and we’ll handle the rest.

How To Sign Your Michigan Vehicle Title

Selling a vehicle in Michigan requires properly signing the vehicle title. This step transfers ownership from us to the buyer and ensures the sale is official. We must complete the signatures clearly and follow the state’s requirements exactly. The process involves signing in specific areas and filling out detailed information to avoid delays or problems.

Locate the section on the back of the title labeled “Transfer of Ownership” or similar.
Sign your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title in the “Seller’s Signature” box.
Print your name legibly beneath your signature if a printed name line is provided.
Fill in the date of sale in the designated date field near your signature.
Enter the odometer reading at the time of sale in the appropriate box.
If joint owners hold the title, ensure all owners sign in their respective signature boxes.
Complete the buyer’s section with their printed name and address if space is available.
Remove any liens or note the lien release if applicable, providing necessary paperwork.
Double-check that all required signatures and information are clear and accurate before handing over the title.

How To Turn in Your Michigan License Plates

In Michigan, when we sell a motor vehicle, state law requires us to remove the license plates from the sold vehicle. We cannot leave plates on the vehicle or transfer plates to the buyer. The plates stay with us for transfer to another vehicle or to turn in to the Secretary of State. We submit the plates within 15 days after the sale to avoid penalties.

Remove the license plates from the vehicle immediately after the sale.
Decide if you want to transfer the plates to another vehicle you own or to turn them in.
If transferring, visit a Secretary of State (SOS) office with the plates and vehicle information.
Complete the application for new registration using your existing plate number.
If turning in plates, take them to the nearest SOS office or mail them to the address provided on the SOS website.
Keep a receipt or confirmation of plate surrender for your records.
Remember to notify the SOS of the sale and complete any required forms like the vehicle title transfer.

How To Get a Duplicate Michigan Vehicle Title

To get a duplicate title in Michigan, we need to meet specific requirements. We must be the owner or have the owner’s permission. The vehicle must be registered in Michigan. We cannot have a lien recorded on the current title unless the lienholder allows it. We need a completed application and the right payment.

Download or pick up the Application for Michigan Vehicle Title (Form TR-11L) from the Michigan Secretary of State website or office.
Fill out the form completely and accurately, including the vehicle identification number (VIN) and owner information.
Sign the application exactly as the name appears on the vehicle’s previous title or registration.
Gather proof of identity, such as a valid driver’s license or state ID, to bring with the application.
Prepare the payment for the duplicate title fee, currently $15, in the accepted form (cash, check, or credit card at the office).
Visit a Michigan Secretary of State branch office in person to submit the application, identification, and payment.
If applicable, provide lienholder information or a release letter if there was a lien on the vehicle.
Receive a temporary receipt or proof of application, then wait for the duplicate title to arrive by mail, typically within 15 business days.
