What do I need to sell my car?
The state of Michigan has a few requirements when it comes to legally selling and transferring the title of your vehicle to us, but don't worry; our experts will make the process as easy as possible. We'll just need your vehicle title (with no liens or holds against it), as well as a set of working keys to the car you're selling.
If your car is currently registered in the state of Michigan, we also recommend that you provide us with a current copy of your registration and remove all license plates from your car before we pick it up. These plates should be returned to your local Secretary of State branch.
