Towing and pickup in Panama City
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 Panama City 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.
Florida title and paperwork rules
Complete the Florida title assignment and applicable odometer disclosure. A certificate of destruction is a separate vehicle status, not a general substitute for a lost title.
Ask FLHSMV or the tax collector about a duplicate title using HSMV 82101 and any electronic-title steps.
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.
Remove your Florida plate; transfer it to an eligible vehicle or surrender it as FLHSMV requires.
File the Notice of Sale (HSMV 82050), retain the sale records, and confirm registration and insurance handling with FLHSMV.

Panama City seller checklist
Title in your name or your Florida FLHSMV 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 Florida rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Florida sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
