Selling a non-running Ford in Des Moines, IA
A Ford that does not start can still receive an offer. Have the ownership documents, your ID and any keys ready, note missing parts, and tell the pickup partner if the car is behind a gate, in a garage or missing wheels. Condition affects the amount: a vehicle that does not run, is missing parts or has major damage usually receives less than one that drives.

Selling a junk car in Iowa: title & DMV rules
Iowa requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Des Moines driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Iowa 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 Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Division issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Iowa is Form 411033 (Application for Replacement Title) / Junking Certificate.
- License plates
- Remove the plates — Iowa plates stay with the owner.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the seller's notice of sale with your county treasurer within 30 days of the sale.
- What Iowa salvage buyers must do
- Iowa titling runs through county treasurers. Replacement titles use Form 411033; a Junking Certificate permanently retires the vehicle and is the normal document when a car goes straight to a recycler. Iowa also has a bonded-title path for broken ownership chains.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as IA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
