How selling works in Memphis

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 Memphis 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.

Tennessee title rules for sellers

In Tennessee, sign the assignment section on the back of the title and hand it to the buyer at pickup. No notarization is required, and Tennessee no longer runs emissions testing for registration. A simple bill of sale with VIN, price and date is a good extra record.

What changes your offer in Memphis

• 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 Tennessee.
• 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 Tennessee than sedans of the same age.

Memphis seller questions

Do I need the title to sell a car in Memphis?

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

How fast is pickup in Memphis?

Most accepted offers in the Memphis metro — including Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Millington, Southaven — 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 Memphis — 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.
