What You Need to Sell a Junk Car in Georgia
Georgia has specific requirements for selling a vehicle. Here's what the state requires to sell your car in Georgia.
-
Certificate of Title
Sign the back of your Georgia title in the designated seller area. Include the date of sale, 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 (Form T-7)
Georgia recommends using Form T-7 for private sales. Include the sale price, date, VIN, and both parties' information. The buyer needs this for registration.
-
Remove Your Plates
Georgia plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove them before handing over the car. You can transfer them to another vehicle or surrender them to your county tag office.
-
Cancel Your Insurance
Contact your insurance company after the sale to cancel coverage. If transferring plates, update your policy to reflect the new vehicle.
-
Keep Copies of Everything
Make copies of the signed title and bill of sale before handing them over. This protects you if any disputes arise later.
Georgia Emissions Requirements
Georgia requires emissions testing in the 13-county metro Atlanta area. However, the emissions requirement applies to vehicle registration, not the sale itself.
As a seller, you are not required to provide a passing emissions test. The buyer handles emissions testing when they register the vehicle. You can sell a car that won't pass emissions without any issues on your end.
Good News for Sellers
- No emissions test required to sell
- No safety inspection required
- Sell non-running vehicles easily
- Buyer handles all registration
- Outside metro Atlanta, no emissions at all
- Sell "as-is" without repairs

Selling a Car in Georgia: Common Questions
Sign the back of the title in the seller section. Include the date of sale, sale price, and odometer reading. Both you and the buyer must sign. Give the signed title and bill of sale to the buyer, who takes them to their county tag office to complete the transfer. The buyer has 30 days to register the vehicle.
You need a title to legally transfer ownership in Georgia. If you've lost yours, you can apply for a duplicate title using Form MV-1 at your county tag office. The fee is $8. Processing typically takes 7-10 business days. Licensed dealers like Clunqr can sometimes work with alternative documentation.
No. Emissions testing in Georgia is required for registration in the 13-county metro Atlanta area, but it's the buyer's responsibility, not yours. You can sell a car that won't pass emissions without any issues. Outside metro Atlanta, there's no emissions requirement at all.
In Georgia, license plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove your plates before handing over the car. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own at your county tag office, or surrender them if you no longer need them. Never 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. Georgia has a large 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.
Georgia doesn't have a formal seller notification requirement. However, keeping copies of your signed title and bill of sale protects you. If the buyer doesn't transfer the title and you receive parking tickets or toll violations, these documents prove you sold the vehicle. Some sellers also keep a photo of the buyer's driver's license as extra protection.
