WHY VEHICLE TITLES ARE IMPORTANT WHEN SELLING YOUR CAR IN TEXAS

 The title to the vehicle is important because it’s the only way to prove you own that car, so you have the right to sell it. Even if you’ve been driving a car for sometime and have the keys to it, that doesn’t prove ownership. When you decide to sell a car or a truck in Texas you should contact Junk Car Buyer Austin at 512-789-2177, but make sure you have the title to the vehicle. How do you get the title to a vehicle That depends on how you got the car or truck in the first place. When you buy a new car from a dealer, you have to pay a small fee and the state will send you the title to the car within a few weeks. When you buy a used car from the previous owner, they will have to transfer the title to you. Again, for a small fee the state, or more exactly your local DMV, will issue a new title with you as the owner. Since this is the most important legal document proving ownership of the car you should always keep it somewhere safe, as you will certainly need it when you want to sell or junk your car anywhere in the state of Texas.

What can you when you no longer have the title to the car There are various reasons people don’t have the title to the car they want to sell, maybe they’ve lost it or maybe it’s your late Grandpa’s clunker and no one knows what happened to the title. In this case, it is preferable to contact your local DMV and sort this thing out before trying to sell the vehicle. Obviously, if the car is still in good shape and you want to sell it to another person, you will need to transfer ownership of the vehicle to them and you cannot do that without a title. At the same time, when the car is a total wreck and you wander who buys junk cars in Austin, Texas, you should try to get a hold of the missing title first. If you’ve misplace the title, you should contact the local DMV and ask for a replacement title. 

With the current Covid pandemic restrictions, you should be able to do this online. If there is lien on the title, you should secure the lienholder’s release, whether it’s a bank or a lending institution. Why having the title to the car matters It matters to you most of all, because you will get more money on the car if you have the title to it, even if you sell it to a junkyard. Without a title to the car there’s little they can do with it, but salvage reusable parts. Sometimes, this is the only option if the car is wrecked, but with a newer model and a still running car you cannot expect a good price if you don’t have the title to it.
