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 Roan Mountain 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
