Selling a junk car in Maine: title & DMV rules
Maine exempts vehicles model year 1995 and older from titling, so an older Portland car can often be sold on a bill of sale alone. Anything newer needs a title in your name.
- If the title is missing
- Maine does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Maine is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plates; Maine plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Cancel the registration at a BMV branch or town office after pickup.
- What Maine salvage buyers must do
- Maine only titles newer model years — genuinely old vehicles are transferred on a bill of sale plus registration, which makes junking an old Maine car unusually simple. For titled years, request a duplicate from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and confirm the cutoff that applies to your model year.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as ME requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
