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
Describe the storm or flood damage accurately when requesting an online offer. If you accept, pickup is arranged with the buyer; access depends on local conditions and tow-operator availability. Offers are not guaranteed.
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 Tennessee: title & DMV rules
Tennessee requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Gainesboro driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Tennessee 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 Tennessee Department of Revenue issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Tennessee is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate — Tennessee plates stay with the owner.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the signed title and bill of sale; cancel insurance after the tow.
- What Tennessee salvage buyers must do
- Tennessee titling runs through county clerks for the Department of Revenue. Duplicates are requested with ID and the VIN; where ownership can't be documented, Tennessee uses a bonded title. Scrap processors record the VIN of every vehicle they buy.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as TN requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current TN payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Tennessee.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Tennessee Department of Revenue.
