Towing and pickup in Raleigh
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 Raleigh 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.
North Carolina title and paperwork rules
Complete the North Carolina title assignment with the required notarization and applicable odometer disclosure.
Use the NCDMV duplicate-title process (MVR-4) if the title is lost; ask about any scrap-only exception for the specific vehicle.
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 and surrender the plate to NCDMV before canceling liability insurance unless an eligible transfer applies.
Keep the plate-surrender receipt and sale documents, and confirm the registration record with NCDMV.

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