If you have the VIN (vehicle identification number), you can order a replacement title.. . If the car is truly a junk car and won't ever be on the highway ever again, you can sell it by a private bill of sale. Just draw up a piece of paper with the buyer and seller's name on it, describe the vehicle as best you can, include the purchase price, and both of your sign it.

You can't. If you dont have the title, u have to be a 'landlord' and claim the car has been abandoned, then u can file for the title. Unless, u find someone who knows nothing about cars.

I think you can sell a junk car to a junk yard with out a title, since they'll be scrapping it for parts. And If they do happen to get the clunker road worthy again, then the junk yard can apply for a salvage title so they can sell the car again.. . Other than that, I don't know of any other way. Best to call your counties clerks office and find out if there's any other way available to you.

You do not have to have a title for a vehicle in order to sell it. The byer or the seller for that matter can apply for a new title from the state from which the car was bought. For example, I just sold a 94' Mitsubishi Eclipse with out a title. I bought the car in North Carolina. I call the office of finance there an apply/request a new title. It takes a few weeks. No big deal.
