What You Need to Sell a Junk Car in Vermont
Vermont has specific requirements for selling a vehicle. Here's what the Vermont DMV requires to sell your car in Vermont.
-
Certificate of Title
Sign the back of your Vermont title where indicated for the seller. Include the date, sale price, and odometer reading. Both seller and buyer must sign.
-
Odometer Disclosure
Required for vehicles less than 10 years old. Record the exact mileage on the title. Federal law requires accurate disclosure.
-
Bill of Sale
Vermont recommends a bill of sale for all vehicle transactions. Include the sale price, date, VIN, and both parties' information. Form VD-012 is available from the DMV.
-
Remove Your Plates
Vermont plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove them before handing over the car. You can transfer them to another vehicle or return them to the DMV.
-
Cancel Your Registration
If you're not transferring your plates to another vehicle, return them to the DMV to cancel your registration and avoid future liability.
-
Notify Your Insurance
Contact your insurance company after the sale to cancel or update your policy. Keep proof of the sale date in case of any disputes.
Vermont Inspection Requirements
Vermont requires annual safety inspections for registered vehicles, but there is no emissions testing anywhere in the state. As a seller, you are not required to provide a current inspection sticker.
The buyer is responsible for getting the vehicle inspected after purchase. You can sell a car with an expired sticker or one that won't pass inspection. Vermont's lack of emissions testing makes selling older or high-mileage vehicles especially easy.
Good News for Sellers
- No emissions testing statewide
- No inspection required to sell
- Sell non-running vehicles easily
- Buyer handles all inspections
- Expired stickers are not your problem
- Sell "as-is" without repairs

Selling a Car in Vermont: Common Questions
Sign the back of the title where indicated for the seller. Include the date of sale, sale price, and odometer reading. Both you and the buyer must sign. Give the signed title to the buyer, who takes it to a Vermont DMV location to complete the transfer and pay the purchase and use tax. Remember to remove your plates before handing over the vehicle.
You need a title to legally transfer ownership in Vermont. If you've lost yours, you can apply for a duplicate title at the DMV using Form VD-119. The fee is $35. You can apply by mail or in person. Processing typically takes 4-6 weeks by mail, so visiting a DMV location is faster. Licensed dealers like Clunqr can sometimes work with alternative documentation.
No. While Vermont requires annual safety inspections for registered vehicles, the seller is not required to provide a current inspection sticker. There is also no emissions testing in Vermont. The buyer is responsible for inspections after purchase. You can sell a car with an expired sticker or one that won't pass.
In Vermont, plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove your plates before the sale. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own by visiting the DMV, or return them to cancel your registration. Keeping your plates on a sold vehicle can leave you liable for tickets and violations.
It depends on the vehicle's year, make, and model, condition, resale or salvage value, weight, and current scrap metal prices. Vermont 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. Vermont does not have emissions testing anywhere in the state. Only annual safety inspections are required for registered vehicles. This makes Vermont one of the easier states for selling older vehicles or cars with engine issues that might fail emissions elsewhere.
