We buy wrecked cars in any condition

Front-end collision, rear-end damage, rollovers, deployed airbags, frame bent, flood-totaled — if it's wrecked, we'll make an offer.

Selling a junk car in California: title & DMV rules

California exempts vehicles model year 1980 and older from titling, so an older Gardena 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

For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current CA payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in California.

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the California DMV.
