Start with the current title
Confirm that the name on the title matches the person legally authorized to sell. Review the title for liens, brands, missing signatures or errors.
Prepare identification and records
Keep government-issued identification and any lien-release documentation available. Requirements can vary by title status and ownership situation.

Use this guide with your exact vehicle details
General articles can explain the process, but the result for a specific vehicle depends on its VIN, mileage, title, keys, operating condition, missing components, damage, location and towing access. Avoid relying on a generic online value alone when the vehicle has major mechanical or structural problems.
