Selling a junk car in New York: title & DMV rules
New York exempts vehicles model year 1972 and older from titling, so an older Troy car can often be sold on a bill of sale alone. Anything newer needs a title in your name.
- If the title is missing
- New York does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (MV-37 (Statement of Ownership) + MV-902 (Duplicate Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in New York is MV-37 (Statement of Ownership) + MV-902 (Duplicate Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and return them to the New York State DMV — surrendering plates protects you from insurance-lapse fines.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the DMV plate-surrender receipt (FS-6T) with your bill of sale.
- What New York salvage buyers must do
- New York lets owners transfer vehicles model year 1972 and older with a notarized Bill of Sale (MV-50) — no title required. Newer vehicles need a duplicate via MV-902 before a private sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NY requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the New York State DMV.
