What You Need to Sell a Junk Car in Mississippi
Mississippi has specific requirements for selling a vehicle. Here's what the Mississippi Department of Revenue requires to sell your car in Mississippi.
-
Certificate of Title
Sign the back of your Mississippi 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
Not legally required in Mississippi, but recommended. Include the sale price, date, VIN, and both parties' information for your records.
-
Remove Your Plates
Mississippi 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 tax collector.
-
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.
-
Lien Release (If Applicable)
If you still owe money on the car, you'll need a lien release from your lender before you can transfer the title to the buyer.
Mississippi Inspection Requirements
Mississippi is one of the easiest states for selling a car. There are no mandatory safety inspections and no emissions testing anywhere in the state.
This means you can sell any vehicle in any condition without worrying about whether it will pass inspection. Non-running cars, vehicles with mechanical issues, or cars that have been sitting for years are all easy to sell in Mississippi.
Good News for Sellers
- No safety inspection required
- No emissions testing statewide
- Sell non-running vehicles easily
- Minimal paperwork required
- No waiting for test results
- Sell "as-is" without repairs

Selling a Car in Mississippi: 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 their county tax collector's office within 30 days to complete the transfer and pay the applicable taxes and fees.
You need a title to legally transfer ownership in Mississippi. If you've lost yours, you can apply for a duplicate title at your county tax collector's office. The fee is $9. You'll need to complete an Application for Duplicate Title and provide proof of identification. Processing typically takes a few days. Licensed dealers like Clunqr can sometimes work with alternative documentation.
No. Mississippi has no mandatory safety inspections and no emissions testing. You can sell a car in any condition without worrying about inspections. This makes Mississippi one of the easiest states for selling a vehicle.
In Mississippi, 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 tax collector's office, or surrender them if you no longer need them.
It depends on the vehicle's year, make, and model, condition, resale or salvage value, weight, and current scrap metal prices. Mississippi 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.
In Mississippi, the buyer must transfer the title within 30 days of the sale. If they don't, they may face late fees. As the seller, keep a copy of the signed title and bill of sale to protect yourself in case the buyer delays the transfer and you receive any tickets or notices.
