Title Policy
Operated by VIP Auto Group. Last updated November 4, 2026.
Before we pay for a vehicle we confirm that it can be legally sold and transferred, and that any loan or lease is handled correctly. Payment waits until these checks are complete.
Clean, transferable title
We buy vehicles with a clean title that can be transferred. Salvage, rebuilt, flood, junk, lemon or manufacturer buyback, odometer and other branded titles are outside our program.
We may run title, history, lien and theft checks at any point before payment. We may decline to buy a vehicle if a check shows a brand, a lien we cannot clear or another problem we cannot resolve.
Owners and identity
Every owner named on the title signs the purchase documents and shows a valid government photo ID. We keep a copy of the ID with the sale records.
Vehicles owned by a business, a trust or an estate, or titles where names do not match the ID, need documents that show the signer is authorized, such as a corporate authorization, letters testamentary or a court order.
Title in hand
If you hold the title, bring the original to signing and sign it there, not before. If the title is lost or damaged, you need a duplicate from your motor vehicle agency before we can pay.
Titles from other states are accepted but may need extra documents.
Loans
If you owe money on the vehicle, we verify the payoff with your lender, you authorize us to pay it and receive the title, and we pay the lender directly after the sale. Any equity left over is paid to you.
Payoff amounts change daily. If the lender’s final payoff is higher than the amount we used, including interest that builds up before the payoff posts, you agree to pay the difference. If it is lower, the lender refunds the difference to you.
If the payoff is more than the offer, we tell you the exact difference before you sign, and the Offer Terms explain how it is settled.
Leases
If the vehicle is leased, we check with your leasing company whether it allows a sale to us and confirm the buyout amount before an offer is final. Some leasing companies do not allow third-party buyouts, and we cannot buy the vehicle if the leasing company does not allow it.
Odometer, plates and registration
Federal and state law require a signed odometer disclosure at the sale. After the sale, remove your plates and personal toll tags, and cancel the registration and insurance as your state requires.
