Salvage and rebuilt titles in California
- A salvage or rebuilt title is still a title: you sign it over at pickup the same way as a clean one. Select the title type in the offer form so the offer reflects it.
- 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.
- File a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138) with the DMV within 5 days — this is what ends your liability.
