Get Cash for Your Junk Car in New Hampshire

Sign the back of the title where indicated for the seller. Include the date of sale, sale price, and odometer reading. Provide a signed bill of sale with the vehicle details. The buyer takes the signed title and bill of sale to their town clerk or city hall to complete the transfer and registration.

For vehicles 15 years old or newer, you need a title to transfer ownership. Vehicles older than 15 years may be transferred with just a bill of sale and the previous registration. If you've lost your title, you can apply for a duplicate at the NH DMV. The fee is $10. Licensed dealers like Clunqr can sometimes work with alternative documentation.

No. While New Hampshire requires annual safety inspections for registered vehicles, the seller is not required to provide a current inspection sticker. The buyer handles inspection after purchase. There is no emissions testing anywhere in New Hampshire, making it one of the easier states for selling vehicles.

In New Hampshire, plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove your plates before the sale. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own at your town clerk's office, or return them to the DMV if you no longer need them. Don't let the buyer drive away with your plates.

It depends on the vehicle's year, make, and model, condition, resale or salvage value, weight, and current scrap metal prices. New Hampshire has a solid network of salvage yards, metal recyclers, and car buyers, which helps keep prices competitive. Most junk cars sell for $200 to $1,500, while vehicles with valuable parts or those that still drive can sell for up to $5,000. Get an instant quote from Clunqr to see your car's actual value.

No. New Hampshire has no sales tax, including on vehicle purchases. This makes private car sales simpler since neither party needs to worry about collecting or paying sales tax. The buyer will still pay registration fees at their town clerk's office, but there's no tax on the purchase price.
