Selling a junk car in New Mexico: title & DMV rules
New Mexico requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Ranchos De Taos driveway.
- If the title is missing
- New Mexico 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 New Mexico MVD issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in New Mexico is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate and keep it for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the New Mexico MVD of the sale and cancel insurance after pickup.
- What New Mexico salvage buyers must do
- New Mexico MVD handles duplicates at field offices and through authorized partners. Because desert bodies stay rust-free, New Mexico junk cars often carry above-average parts value even when the drivetrain is finished. A bonded title covers undocumented ownership.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NM requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
