Hawaii title transfer rules

Selling without a title in Hawaii
In Hawaii, selling a car without a title is allowed in limited situations — typically when the vehicle is going to a licensed dismantler or scrap processor. You'll usually need a valid photo ID, current registration, and a signed bill of sale. Hawaii DMV rules vary by county; we'll confirm exactly what's required when you accept your offer.
Average scrap prices in Hawaii
Hawaii scrap-metal pricing drives the base of every junk car offer. Sedans typically pay $250–$1,400, SUVs $400–$2,400, and full-size pickups $700–$4,500. Trucks and SUVs almost always outpay sedans because of their heavier curb weight and stronger parts demand.
