Won't start, dead battery, seized engine, blown head gasket, transmission failure, electrical issues — if it can't be driven onto a flatbed, we still want to buy it.

Selling a junk car in South Dakota: title & DMV rules
South Dakota requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Mitchell driveway.
- If the title is missing
- South Dakota 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 South Dakota Division of Motor Vehicles issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in South Dakota is Application for Duplicate Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Report the sale to your county treasurer's office.
- What South Dakota salvage buyers must do
- South Dakota titles through county treasurers with Division of Motor Vehicles oversight, and notarization is common. Duplicates are quick with ID and the VIN; where the ownership chain is broken, the state uses a bonded title.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as SD requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the South Dakota Division of Motor Vehicles.
