Why flooded cars are hard to sell privately
Insurance often totals flood vehicles, and private buyers run from them — water damage causes electrical, mechanical, and structural problems that surface for years. We've built our offers around fair, transparent flood-vehicle pricing.
Hurricane and storm-damaged vehicles
After major storms — hurricanes, tropical systems, flash floods — we mobilize extra pickup capacity in affected states. Get your offer the same day and we'll schedule a tow as soon as roads reopen.
What we look at when valuing a flooded car
Depth and duration of submersion, salt vs. fresh water, year/make/model, drivetrain, and condition of major components determine the offer. Even total losses have meaningful scrap and parts value.

Selling a junk car in New Mexico: title & DMV rules
New Mexico requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Carlsbad driveway.
- If the title is missing
- New Mexico uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the New Mexico MVD issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in New Mexico is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate and keep it for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the New Mexico MVD of the sale and cancel insurance after pickup.
- What New Mexico salvage buyers must do
- New Mexico MVD handles duplicates at field offices and through authorized partners. Because desert bodies stay rust-free, New Mexico junk cars often carry above-average parts value even when the drivetrain is finished. A bonded title covers undocumented ownership.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NM requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current NM payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in New Mexico.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the New Mexico MVD.
