Selling a junk car in Virginia: title & DMV rules
Virginia requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Charlottesville driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Virginia 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 Virginia DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Virginia is VSA 66 (Application for Replacement Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plate — Virginia plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the Virginia DMV of the sale and keep the bill of sale for your records.
- What Virginia salvage buyers must do
- Virginia replacement titles use VSA 66 and can usually be requested online or at a customer service center. Virginia licenses salvage dealers and demolishers and requires them to report vehicles they acquire, so expect the buyer to log the VIN.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as VA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
