Pickups without titles are picked up on a case to case basis, so please call us at 978-396-2448 to ask any 114 Auto Salvage buyers for more information.

Step 6: Transfer The Title
To sell your car in Massachusetts, you need to transfer the title into your name or into the new owner’s name.
Like many salvage yards, we prefer to buy your car with a title, but can sometimes buy it without one since we do not put cars back on the road. If you sell us your car without a title, we can sometimes accept the registration as proof of ownership.
If you do have a title on hand, you can probably make a little more money when selling your car to 114 Auto Salvage. This is because having a clean title makes it easier to sell the parts off a car, especially if it’s 2007 or newer.
