A bit of a pack rat, I've always been. I have a sentimental streak, but I'm not an obsessive hoarder. This has been both a boon and a bane when it comes to cars. I've owned a few cars over the years that, let's say, have seen better days. They collect dust and an amazing […]

I've handled a good number of car transactions, so I can attest to the fact that a car's title serves as both its official birth certificate & its deed of ownership. It's an important legal document that identifies a car's legitimate owner. Without it, I've had to navigate a legal maze that complicates an otherwise […]

Having worked in the junk car industry for many years, I can attest to the satisfaction that comes from assisting someone in turning their unsightly vehicle into real money. With just a worn-out truck and a tow strap, my journey began modestly, but I soon picked up the ins and outs of the Minnesota industry. […]

I've been there before, gazing at an old car in my driveway that has seen better days and fearing the mountain of paperwork that I know will be required to sell it. Selling a car without the title or other required paperwork is like trying to navigate a blizzard without a compass, especially in Minnesota […]

I've been in this industry for a while now, and one thing I've discovered is that both life and cars can be uncertain. A car that has seen better days, failed its most recent inspection, or perhaps had an unfortunate encounter with a rogue tree are just a few of the many reasons why someone […]

I was in a situation that many Minnesotans would be familiar with: I had an old car, a real clunker, and no title to prove ownership. It was an ugly monument to past road trips and mounting repair costs, sitting in my driveway. Even though I knew I had to get rid of it, I […]

Writing an article about selling my junk car—let alone one without a title—was not something I ever imagined doing. It may seem nearly impossible, but here I am, having successfully completed the surprisingly simple process in Minnesota, and I'm excited to share my story. I had to make a decision when my old sedan finally […]

If you have lived in Minnesota for some time, you will recognize this scene. Although the state is well-known for its stunning lakes and energetic cities, it also has a number of old cars that have seen better days. I may have inherited them from relatives who had forgotten they even sat collecting dust in […]

Selling my car in Minnesota with transmission issues was like trying to wrestle a bear with one arm tied behind my back; it was extremely frustrating, exhausting, & likely to result in bruises. This was a full-fledged operation that involved negotiating the intricacies of a particular state's regulations and the inherent difficulties of offloading a […]
