How to Sell a Junk Car Without a Title

Selling a junk car in Oklahoma without a title might seem tricky, but it’s definitely possible.

Here's a clear, step-by-step guide to help you through the process legally and easily.

Step 1: Prove Ownership

Even if you’ve lost the title, you need to prove the car is yours. This can be done with:

  • Registration documents

  • Insurance paperwork

  • A valid photo ID


Step 2: Get a Replacement Title (If Needed)

If you want to go the official route, you can request a duplicate title through the Oklahoma Tax Commission. It usually takes a few weeks, but it adds security to your sale.

Step 3: Find a Buyer That Accepts Cars Without Titles

Not all buyers will take a car without a title. That’s where services like Cash 4 Cars come in handy. They specialize in helping people sell their junk cars, even if the title is missing.

Step 4: Complete a Bill of Sale

This is a key document that proves the sale. It should include:

  • Both parties' names and signatures

  • Vehicle details (VIN, make, model)

  • Sale amount


Step 5: Cancel Insurance and Registration

Once the car is sold, cancel the insurance and notify the DMV. This prevents future liability.
