What You Need to Sell a Junk Car in Kansas
Kansas has specific requirements for selling a vehicle. Here's what the Kansas Division of Vehicles requires to sell your car in Kansas.
-
Certificate of Title
Sign the back of your Kansas title where it says "Seller." 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 TR-312)
Kansas recommends using Form TR-312 for private sales. Include the sale price, date, VIN, and both parties' information. This helps the buyer with registration.
-
License Plates Stay With the Vehicle
In Kansas, plates stay with the vehicle, not the owner. Leave them on the car when you sell it. The buyer will transfer or replace them at the county treasurer's office.
-
Notify Your Insurance
Contact your insurance company after the sale to cancel coverage on the sold vehicle. Don't cancel before the sale is complete.
-
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.
Kansas Inspection Requirements
Kansas does not require safety inspections for private vehicle sales. There's no statewide inspection program, so you don't need to worry about getting your car inspected before selling.
Emissions testing is only required in Johnson and Wyandotte counties (the Kansas City metro area), and even then, it's the buyer's responsibility when they register the vehicle. You can sell a car anywhere in Kansas without an inspection.
Good News for Sellers
- No safety inspection required
- No emissions test required to sell
- Sell non-running vehicles easily
- Plates stay with the car
- Buyer handles all registration
- Sell "as-is" without repairs

Selling a Car in Kansas: Common Questions
Sign the back of the title where it says "Seller" and include the date, sale price, and odometer reading. Both you and the buyer must sign. Give the signed title to the buyer, who takes it to their county treasurer's office within 60 days to complete the transfer and pay the sales tax. Kansas makes this process simple with no notarization required.
You need a title to legally transfer ownership in Kansas. If you've lost yours, you can apply for a duplicate title using Form TR-720b at your county treasurer's office. The fee is $10. Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks. Licensed dealers like Clunqr can sometimes work with alternative documentation.
No. Kansas does not require safety inspections for private vehicle sales. Emissions testing is only required in Johnson and Wyandotte counties, and that's the buyer's responsibility when they register the vehicle. You can sell a car in any condition without getting it inspected first.
In Kansas, license plates stay with the vehicle, not the owner. Leave the plates on the car when you sell it. The buyer will handle transferring or replacing the plates when they register the vehicle at the county treasurer's office. This is different from most states where plates stay with the seller.
It depends on the vehicle's year, make, and model, condition, resale or salvage value, weight, and current scrap metal prices. Kansas 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.
Kansas doesn't have a formal "release of liability" form, but keeping copies of your signed title and bill of sale protects you. If the buyer doesn't transfer the title within 60 days and you receive tickets or toll violations, these documents prove you sold the vehicle. The buyer is legally required to complete the transfer within 60 days of purchase.
