Knowing the wide background of INGO members, I thought someone may know the answer to a question I have.
Here's the question. Can you sell a van to a salvage yard without a title?
My wife has a mid-90's Dodge van that she bought during her first marriage. Both the loan and the title are in both hers and her ex husbands name. She paid off the loan balance before we were married in 07, but the west Coast based credit union that held the note refuses to send her the title because her ex owes them money on a different loan.
We was able to get the title switched to an Indiana title, so we have been able to legally plate it and drive it, and it's not worth much so we have just been driving it that way. But now that the minivan has 200k miles on it, it's becoming undependable.
Since I can't sell it or trade it without a title, I'm thinking my only option would be to sell it for parts to a salvage yard. That brings me to my question, can you sell a paid-off van to a junk yard without a title?
Thanks in advance for the replies.
