Towing and pickup in Wausau
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 Wausau 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.
Wisconsin title and paperwork rules
Sign the Wisconsin title over to the buyer. Wisconsin also has a specific junked-vehicle notice used when a car is retired to scrap rather than resold.
For a lost Wisconsin title, request a duplicate on MV2119. Where ownership cannot be documented, Wisconsin uses a bonded-title route.
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 the plates — Wisconsin plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
File the seller's notification (MV2928) with the Wisconsin DMV, online or by mail; it closes the record in your name.
