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 Delaware: title & DMV rules
Delaware requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Smyrna driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Delaware 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 Delaware DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Delaware is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate; Delaware plates stay with the owner for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the Delaware DMV of the sale and cancel insurance after the tow.
- What Delaware salvage buyers must do
- Delaware issues duplicate titles through any DMV lane, usually same-visit. Where no title exists, the DMV reviews ownership evidence case by case and may require a bond. Licensed salvage buyers can take a scrap-only car with ID and a bill of sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as DE requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Delaware DMV.
