In most states, you must provide a verified copy of your title to complete the sale of your car. CarBrain.coms customer service representatives can help you get a duplicate title if you don't have your title. You generally need to have the title on hand to complete the sale.

In a handful of states, it's actually possible to validate ownership without a title — but this is rare. Learn about title requirements in Virginia here.

Trading in your scrap vehicle can be surprisingly profitable. Even when your car cannot drive, it still has value. For instance, there are various sums of metals that expert vehicle evaluators can legally recycle and extract from the car, including aluminum, steel, platinum and more to recycle or extract, melt down and reuse.

How much cash you can get for your car depends on a few factors. One is its size — larger vehicles, trucks and vans have more metal than smaller vehicles. Another relevant factor is where it's currently located — different steel mills rely on nearby market demands to determine the value of metals found in recycled car components.
