If you are looking to sell your junk car, scrap car or non-running vehicle in Cleveland, you must possess the vehicle’s title. The Ohio BMV doesn’t handle title work, rather your individual county’s title clerk does. When selling your car for scrap in Cleveland, your Certificate of Title will be transferred to the auto scrapper, junk car buyer, or “cash for cars” company. They will ultimately send the cancellation to the Title Office after the junk car is scrapped.
Can you scrap a junk car for cash using a Memorandum Title? No, a memorandum title indicates that there is a lien on the vehicle from a lender. You are unable to scrap or junk your automobile for cash using this because you are not the legal owner and are unable to transfer ownership.
What are salvage titles? How do they differ when selling a vehicle for junk or scrap purposes. If an Ohio certificate of title or salvage certificate is assigned to a salvage dealer, the “cash for cars”, junk car buyer or scrap car processor will list the number of their motor vehicle salvage dealer’s license on it, and mark “FOR DESTRUCTION” across the face of the certificate of title or salvage certificate of title, and send to the proper office.
To transfer your title when selling your car for scrap or junking your car for cash, the buyer will list their contact information on the back of the title. Most junkyards, auto scrappers and junk car buyers have a notary on hand to finalize the transaction.
