How selling works in Columbus

1. Get the offer. Tell the buyer about the car — year, make, model, mileage, condition. The offer is free and carries no obligation.
2. Accept and schedule. Pickups in Columbus are usually scheduled within 24–48 hours, at your home or work.
3. Get paid at pickup. The driver confirms the car matches its description, you sign the title, and you are paid before the car leaves.

Ohio title rules for sellers

Ohio requires the seller's title assignment to be notarized — sign the back of the title only in front of a notary, and fill in the buyer's name and odometer reading. Leaving the buyer line blank ('title jumping') is illegal in Ohio. A duplicate title can be ordered from your County Clerk of Courts Title Office if yours is lost.

What changes your offer in Columbus

• Running or not: a drivable car almost always beats a non-runner — describe it honestly and the offer holds at pickup.
• Title in hand: a title in your name gets the fastest, highest offers in Ohio.
• Damage and mileage: accident history and very high mileage lower offers; missing parts lower them more.
• Local demand: trucks and SUVs tend to draw stronger bids across Ohio than sedans of the same age.

Columbus seller questions

Do I need the title to sell a junk car in Columbus?

In most cases, yes — a title in your name is the standard proof of ownership in Ohio. If yours is lost, order a duplicate before selling; it is faster than trying to sell without one. Our Ohio title guide below explains the exact steps.

How fast is pickup in Columbus?

Most accepted offers in the Columbus metro — including Dublin, Westerville, Reynoldsburg, Grove City, Hilliard — are picked up within 1–2 business days, and towing is free either way.

Will a buyer take a car that doesn't run?

Yes. Non-running, wrecked and high-mileage cars are bought every day in Columbus — the offer reflects parts and scrap value instead of resale value.

When do I get paid?

At pickup, after the quick condition check and title signing. Never hand over the keys or the title before payment is in hand.
