Towing and pickup in Boise
The car does not need to run to request an offer. Describe whether it starts, rolls or steers, and confirm the pickup arrangements when you accept.
Pickup in Boise is arranged after you accept an offer; timing depends on local tow-operator availability.
Tell us where the car actually sits before the truck rolls. Describe tight access, low clearance, fences or other obstacles so the pickup team can assess access. Confirm who needs to be present and which documents to bring.
Idaho title and paperwork rules
Boise sellers follow Idaho state law, and the agency of record is Idaho Transportation Department, DMV. The clean route is a title in your name: sign it at pickup, never hand over a title with the buyer's section left blank, and photograph it before it changes hands.
Replacing a lost title: ITD 3367 (Application for Duplicate Title). Idaho uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Idaho Transportation Department, DMV issues a title you can sign over.
Plates: Remove the plate and keep it for transfer.
Reporting the sale: Idaho has no seller notice form; keep the signed title assignment and bill of sale. That filing is what ends your liability for the vehicle — do it even though the car is already gone.
No title? What Boise sellers can do
Idaho handles duplicate titles on ITD 3367 through county assessor motor vehicle offices. When ownership can't be documented, Idaho uses a bonded title. Licensed dismantlers can generally purchase a non-repairable vehicle with ID and a bill of sale.
Licensed ID salvage buyers and dismantlers can generally purchase a vehicle for recycling with less than a full title, provided you present ID and the right documentation — typically starting with the ITD 3367 (Application for Duplicate Title).
Form numbers, fees, and year cutoffs change, so verify the current process with Idaho Transportation Department, DMV before you commit. We deliberately don't state a ID legal requirement more precisely than we can stand behind.

Boise seller checklist
Title in your name or your Idaho Transportation Department, DMV replacement paperwork under way, photo ID, and a lien release if the car was ever financed.
Car emptied — glovebox, console, trunk, under the seats, spare-tire well — a photo of the VIN and odometer, and plates handled per Idaho rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Idaho sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
