In Salinas, constant traffic along major roads like East Alisal Street and Main Street can cause considerable vehicle wear and tear. The occasional intense heat can fade paint and damage interiors. At the same time, road conditions—such as potholes near the Spreckles Junction and uneven surfaces around Cardenas Markets—can lead to suspension and tire issues. Crowded parking situations at popular spots like Goodwill Central Coast Outlet or Laurel West Shopping Center often result in dings and scratches. Whether your car has experienced these problems or has other types of damage, we’re here to make you an offer!

With an old, damaged, inoperable car on your property, you should be aware of the rules regarding abandoned vehicles in Salinas. While you are selling your junk car, it's important to ensure that it doesn't become considered abandoned. Here are some key points to remember:
Time limits: Vehicles cannot be parked on public streets or alleys for more than 72 hours.
Registration and condition: Vehicles must be registered and in working condition to be parked on public property.
Private property: Inoperable vehicles cannot be parked or stored on private property unless they are inside a garage.
If you're selling your junk car to a reputable company like ByeCar, we will typically handle the logistics of removing the vehicle from your property. However, if you're considering selling it privately, it's crucial to be aware of these regulations to avoid any legal issues.
For more specific information, you can contact the Salinas Police Department or refer to the city's municipal code.
No, you cannot sell a car in Salinas without smog paperwork or a title.
Both of these documents are essential for a legal and valid sale of a vehicle in California.
Smog paperwork: This document certifies that the vehicle meets California's emissions standards. It's required for all vehicles sold in the state, regardless of age or condition.
Title: The title is a legal document that proves ownership of the vehicle. It's essential for transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer.
If you cannot obtain smog paperwork or a title for your vehicle, you may have limited options for selling it. You could try contacting a salvage yard or a private buyer who wants some scrap parts or metal. However, these options may offer significantly lower prices than selling to a specialized Salinas junk car buyer.
Don't let smog paperwork or a missing title hold you back. ByeCar can help. We specialize in buying cars in any condition, even those without the necessary documentation. Our team can assist with obtaining the required paperwork, making the selling process as smooth as possible. Whether your car is inoperable or has been damaged, we offer fair prices and handle all the complexities of the sale.
