Selling a junk car in California: title & DMV rules
California exempts vehicles model year 1980 and older from titling, so an older Sanger car can often be sold on a bill of sale alone. Anything newer needs a title in your name.
- If the title is missing
- California does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (REG 227 (Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in California is REG 227 (Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title).
- License plates
- Leave the plates on the vehicle unless they are personalized — California plates stay with the car.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138) with the DMV within 5 days — this is what ends your liability.
- What California salvage buyers must do
- California allows vehicles 1980 and older to be sold to a licensed dismantler without a title using a Bill of Sale plus a Statement of Facts (REG 256). Newer vehicles require a duplicate title (REG 227) before sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as CA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
