Plain-Language Guides for Junk Car Sellers
Selling a junk car is simple when the paperwork is right, and costly when it is not. These guides explain the title rules, buyer licensing, plate and insurance steps and recycling process that apply in the two states we serve: Florida, from our yard in Lake Worth Beach, and New Jersey, from our yard in Perth Amboy. Each guide cites the state and federal documents behind it, so you can check the source yourself.
