Common Questions About Selling Your Car in Tennessee

Q: Do you buy cars that don’t run in Tennessee?
A: Yes, we buy cars that don’t run, including those with engine failure or transmission problems. Many vehicles in Tennessee sit idle due to harsh winters and humidity causing mechanical issues, so we provide offers regardless of running condition.

Q: Can I sell a car with a salvage title in Tennessee?
A: Yes, we buy cars with salvage titles. Tennessee law allows vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles to be sold, and since many vehicles in flood-prone counties end up with salvage titles, we’re experienced in handling those transactions quickly.

Q: Do I need to return my license plates after selling my car in Tennessee?
A: Yes, Tennessee law requires sellers to remove and return their license plates to the local DMV within 5 days of sale. We remind sellers because keeping plates can lead to continued liability after the vehicle has been sold.

Q: What areas in Tennessee do you serve?
A: We serve all Tennessee counties from the Cumberland Plateau to the Mississippi Delta, including rural and urban areas. Whether you’re in mountainous counties or flatlands, we offer free towing and quick pickup across the entire state.

Q: How soon can you pick up my vehicle in Tennessee?
A: Pickup is usually within a few days and sometimes the same day, depending on location. Traffic and weather can impact timing, especially in mountainous counties, but we prioritize fast and reliable service statewide.

Q: Can you pick up vehicles from apartment complexes or places with limited parking in Tennessee?
A: Yes, we can tow vehicles from apartment complexes or narrow urban parking spots common in Tennessee cities. We have experience navigating tight Tennessee driveways and property rules to ensure smooth pickup.

Q: Do modifications to my vehicle impact the offer?
A: Yes, modifications can affect pricing. Tennessee buyers often value factory-original parts, but some performance or off-road upgrades common in local vehicles can increase value, while others like lifting or excessive wear may reduce it.

Q: Can I sell a car that’s been sitting for years without registration in Tennessee?
A: Yes, you can sell cars that have been unregistered or sitting for years. Many Tennessee residents have unused vehicles due to seasonal weather or rural lifestyles; we buy these cars regardless of registration status.

Q: What if I don’t have the keys or the car is locked?
A: We buy cars without keys and can tow locked vehicles. In Tennessee, many older vehicles have lost keys or have jammed locks after winter storage, but we handle these situations and still provide instant offers over the phone.

Q: Do you offer free towing for junk vehicles across all Tennessee counties?
A: Yes, we offer free towing on all vehicles anywhere in Tennessee. This includes junk cars in remote or less accessible rural counties where towing services may be limited or costly.

Q: Will mileage affect my car’s cash offer in Tennessee?
A: Yes, mileage does impact the offer. Tennessee buyers consider mileage along with the local climate’s effect on wear and tear, especially with rust-prone areas near rivers or lakes, so higher mileage can lower the cash value.

Q: Can you buy vehicles with interior damage from mold or water in Tennessee?
A: Yes, we buy vehicles with mold or interior damage common in Tennessee’s humid climate. Flood damage or moisture-related issues are frequent here, but we still provide offers and arrange safe towing.

How To Sign Your Tennessee Vehicle Title

When we sell a car in Tennessee, signing the vehicle title correctly is important. The title shows ownership and transfers it to the buyer legally. Tennessee requires the seller to fill out specific sections on the title. We follow these steps to make sure the process is done right.

  1. Locate the “Assignment of Title by Owner” section on the back of the vehicle title.
  2. Write the buyer’s name exactly as it appears on their identification.
  3. Fill in the date of sale clearly using the month, day, and year.
  4. Enter the sale price in the designated space.
  5. Sign your name as the seller in the “Seller’s Signature” box.
  6. Print your name clearly below or next to your signature if required.
  7. If there are multiple owners, ensure each person signs and prints their name.
  8. Complete any other required fields, such as odometer reading, if they are blank.
  9. Give the signed title to the buyer for their records and further processing at the DMV.

How To Turn in Your Tennessee License Plates

In Tennessee, when we sell a car, we must remove the license plates from the vehicle. Tennessee law requires the seller to keep the plates and either transfer them to another vehicle or surrender them to the Department of Revenue. We cannot leave the plates with the buyer. This process helps protect us from any future liabilities connected to the sold car.

  1. Remove the license plates from the sold vehicle before handing over the keys to the buyer.
  2. Decide if you want to transfer the plates to a new vehicle or surrender them.
  3. If transferring, take the plates to your local county clerk’s office with proof of ownership for the new vehicle.
  4. If surrendering, bring the plates to your county clerk’s office and complete the Plate Surrender Application.
  5. Submit the surrendered plates to the county clerk’s office in person or by mail, following their instructions.
  6. Keep a copy of your surrender receipt or transfer paperwork for your records.
  7. Notify your insurance company that you no longer have the plates on the sold vehicle.

How To Get a Duplicate Tennessee Vehicle Title

To get a duplicate title in Tennessee, we need to meet certain requirements. The vehicle must be registered in Tennessee. We must be the owner listed on the title or an authorized representative. We must have the vehicle’s identification number (VIN) and the current license plate number. We need to have a valid form of ID and pay the required fee. If there is a lien on the vehicle, the lienholder’s information must be included.

  1. Download and fill out the Application for Duplicate Title (Form RV-F1319001) from the Tennessee Department of Revenue website.
  2. Provide a copy of your valid Tennessee driver’s license or ID card.
  3. Include the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the current license plate number.
  4. If the vehicle has a lien, include the lienholder’s name and address.
  5. Calculate and prepare to pay the duplicate title fee. As of now, the fee is $11.
  6. Submit the completed application, ID copy, and payment in person or by mail to the Tennessee County Clerk’s office where the vehicle is registered.
  7. Wait for the County Clerk’s office to process the application and mail the duplicate title to your address.
