Selling your junk car doesn't have to be complicated. At Houston Auto Buyer, we've streamlined the documentation process to make selling your vehicle as simple as possible. Whether you have all your paperwork or are missing some documents, we can help you turn that old car into cash today.

Essential Documentation Checklist

Don't Have Your Title? No Problem!

One of the most common concerns we hear is "I lost my title" or "I never received the title." Don't worry – we specialize in purchasing vehicles without titles. Here's what you need to know:

Alternative Documentation for No-Title Sales

When selling a junk car without a title, we can work with:

• Valid photo identification matching the registered owner
• Vehicle registration (current or expired acceptable)
• Working key to the vehicle (REQUIRED for no-title sales)
• Proof of insurance (if available)
• Bill of sale from previous owner (if you have it)

Our experienced team knows how to handle no-title transactions legally and efficiently. We'll complete all necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth sale.

Special Situations and Documentation

Inherited Vehicles

If you inherited the junk car, you'll need additional documentation such as a death certificate, probate documents, or affidavit of heirship. We can guide you through this process.

Business-Owned Vehicles

For vehicles owned by a business, bring business registration documents and authorization from an officer of the company to sell the vehicle.

Vehicles with Liens

Important: We are unable to purchase vehicles with active liens. If there's still an outstanding loan on the vehicle, you must pay off the lien and obtain a clear title before we can complete the purchase. Contact your lender to get the payoff amount and lien release documentation.
