If you want to sell a vehicle that no longer runs or is totaled in an accident, you might wonder who wants to buy it. An auto salvage yard is an excellent place to sell an unwanted vehicle. These do's and don'ts will help you complete the process smoothly and quickly.  

Do:

Remove your personal items.

Go through your entire car and take out all personal property. Check for jewelry, toys, clothes, personal electronic devices, and loose change. Remove materials including mail, bank and tax information, credit and debit card receipts, and identification cards, as they can be used for identity theft and fraud. 

Don't: 

Leave license plates on.

North Carolina's laws require you remove the license plates when you sell a vehicle, so be sure to take the plates off when transferring ownership to the junk car dealer. Unless you are transferring the plates to another vehicle, return them to the NCDMV Vehicle Registration Section, Renewal Title & Plate Unit, 3148 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27697-3148.

Make repairs.

If you're going to sell a vehicle as junk, do not repair it. A car salvage dealer will strip the good parts and crush what is left of the vehicle. Making repairs will not get you a better price, so save your money.
