The ones that buy whole cars are the junkyards, junk car buyers and tow operators; recyclers and scrap yards mostly sell parts or weigh in metal.

Paperwork to sell a car in Colorado

  • Title: The seller signs and prints their name in the Seller section on the back of the original Colorado title, exactly as the name appears on the front, and gives it to the buyer.
  • No title: A vehicle with a retail fair market value under $200 cannot be titled.
  • After the sale: Within 5 days of the sale, use 'Report Release of Liability' on myDMV (mydmv.colorado.gov) to tell the state you no longer own the vehicle.
  • Plates: Plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle.
