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 Lancaster 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.

Ohio title and paperwork rules

Complete the Ohio title assignment with the required notarization; use the county Clerk of Courts title office for title questions.

Request a duplicate title through an Ohio title office if yours is lost; do not treat a registration as a replacement title.

If a lien is recorded, contact the lienholder about the title and a lien release. A sale or scrap pickup does not erase an outstanding loan.
