Use the quote form with the vehicle's current condition and Mississippi pickup location. Disclose any missing title, lien, major missing component, or access problem early so the ownership and collection requirements can be confirmed before you accept an offer.
What Affects a Junk Car Offer in Mississippi?
A quote can depend on the vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, overall condition, location, and major missing components. Say whether the vehicle runs and disclose significant collision, mechanical, fire, flood, or other damage. Accurate information helps the request be evaluated before pickup arrangements are made.
Any purchase examples shown on this page are from locations around the country. They are not Mississippi price estimates, valuation ranges, or guarantees for another vehicle.
Junk and End-of-Life Vehicles You Can Submit for Review
Junk, non-running, heavily damaged, and incomplete vehicles can be submitted for review. Vehicles with mechanical problems, collision damage, rust, or branded-title history may also be reviewed. If damage rather than junk or end-of-life status is the main reason you are selling, see ByeCar's damaged-car service.
Before accepting an offer, disclose anything that could affect collection, including missing keys or wheels, flat tires, a vehicle that does not roll or steer, gates, blocked access, or another access restriction. For a broader overview of the transaction, see how the ByeCar process works.
Title and Ownership Requirements in Mississippi
For an ordinary sale, Mississippi DOR says a missing, lost, mutilated, destroyed, or ruined title requires a duplicate or replacement title before the sale can proceed. The standard replacement process uses Form 78-006, Application for Replacement Certificate of Title.
During a regular ownership transfer, the seller must complete the required title assignment. Mississippi DOR also says the old license plate must be removed when the vehicle or owner changes. Review the Mississippi DOR motor-vehicle guidance for the current requirements that apply to your transaction.
Mississippi also provides a narrow parts-or-scrap procedure when title is unavailable. Under Form 78-031, the vehicle must be at least 10 model years old, have no secured interest or lien, be transferred for parts or scrap to a licensed used motor vehicle parts dealer or scrap metal processor, and never be titled again. Do not assume this procedure applies to every junk-car transaction; the vehicle and acquiring business must qualify.
Preparing Your Junk Car for Pickup
Before pickup, confirm the exact vehicle location, access conditions, ownership documents, payment method, and scheduling details. ByeCar typically uses check or wire transfer. Confirm the method and timing for your specific transaction before collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a Junk Car in Mississippi
These answers cover common questions about quotes, titles, branded vehicles, liens, payment, and pickup preparation.
What information should I provide for a quote?
Provide the year, make, model, mileage, location, overall condition, and any major missing components. Say whether the vehicle runs and disclose significant damage so the request can be reviewed accurately.
What if I lost my Mississippi vehicle title?
For an ordinary sale, Mississippi DOR says a missing title requires a duplicate or replacement before the sale can proceed. Form 78-006 is used for the standard replacement-title process. A separate narrow parts-or-scrap procedure may apply to certain older vehicles, but only when its specific conditions are met.
Can a salvage vehicle be sold as a junk car?
Salvage status does not automatically mean a vehicle is permanently junked in Mississippi. A qualifying salvage vehicle can go through the state's rebuilding and inspection process and may be retitled as rebuilt. Mississippi does not issue title or registration for vehicles carrying junk, non-rebuildable, certificate-of-destruction, or parts-only brands. See the Mississippi DOR salvage-vehicle guidance.
What if there is a lien on my vehicle?
Tell ByeCar about any lien before accepting an offer because it can affect the documents required for the transaction. Mississippi's Form 78-031 parts-or-scrap procedure cannot be used when the vehicle is subject to a secured interest or lien.
How will I be paid for my junk car?
ByeCar typically uses check or wire transfer. Confirm the payment method and timing for your specific transaction before pickup.
What should I disclose before pickup?
Provide the exact location and disclose missing keys or wheels, flat tires, a vehicle that does not roll or steer, gates, blocked access, or other conditions that could affect collection. This helps the pickup requirements be reviewed in advance.
