No keys
Not a problem. Our truck loads non-running vehicles without needing the key or the ignition to work.
Yes, you can sell a car without a title in Florida — and yes, we'll still buy it. If you've lost your title, never had it transferred into your name, or aren't sure where to even start, we walk you through it on the phone and pick up your car the same day, cash in hand.

Short answer: yes, if you can prove the car is legally yours.
In Florida, the title itself can be replaced. If the car is registered in your name and you've simply lost the paper title, you (or we, on your behalf) can request a Duplicate Title Application (HSMV Form 82101) through the county tax collector's office — including the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector. This is the standard, legal path the state uses for a lost, stolen, or damaged title, and it typically requires:
If there's a lien on the car, that has to be resolved or released first. If the car was never in your name at all (inherited, left by a previous tenant, bought informally with no paperwork), it gets more case-by-case — tell us the situation on the phone and we'll tell you honestly whether we can move forward and what you'd need.

A missing title is rarely the only paperwork problem. If you also searched something like "cash for junk cars no title no keys" or "no registration near me," here's the real answer:
Not a problem. Our truck loads non-running vehicles without needing the key or the ignition to work.
Also fine. An expired or missing registration doesn't stop the sale; it's the title and proof of ownership that matter most.
Tell us what you do have (old registration, insurance card, even a photo of the VIN), and we'll tell you the fastest way to fill the gap.
If you've seen ads promising a flat "$500 cash for junk cars without title," here's the honest version: we don't quote a flat number for every car, with or without a title. Your offer is based on the same factors as any vehicle — year, make, model, condition, and weight — not a one-size-fits-all price. In most cases, a missing title does not automatically lower your offer; it just means an extra step before pickup, which we help you sort out.

Miami-Dade County processes duplicate title requests through the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector, following the same statewide Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) rules used everywhere else in the state. In practice, that means:
You'll need to confirm the vehicle is registered in your name (or get help transferring it if it isn't).
A Duplicate Title Application (Form HSMV 82101) gets filed with proof of ID.
Processing is usually a matter of days, not weeks — and in many cases, we can schedule your pickup while that's in progress.
We're not a law office and we're not the Tax Collector — but we've walked enough Miami sellers through this that we can usually tell you, on the first call, exactly what step you're on and what's next.
No judgment, no lecture — just tell us what paperwork you do and don't have. We'll tell you honestly whether we can move forward today or what one extra step looks like.
Sometimes that's nothing extra at all. Sometimes it's a quick trip to the Tax Collector's office first. Either way, you'll know before we schedule anything.
Once everything checks out, we schedule same-day pickup, hand you cash, and take the car off your hands for good.
Don't have all of this? Call anyway. Most sellers are missing at least one item, and we can usually still help.
Yes, in most cases, once the missing title is replaced through Florida's Duplicate Title Application process — and we can often start the pickup process while that's being sorted.
Yes. Florida allows a Duplicate Title Application (HSMV Form 82101) through your county tax collector, including Miami-Dade, if the car is registered in your name and the original title is lost, stolen, or damaged.
No single flat price applies to every car. Your offer depends on your vehicle's year, condition, and weight — with or without a title.
Yes. We serve all of Miami-Dade County, including Hialeah, Miami Gardens, Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, Miami Beach, and North Miami, and no-title sales are something we handle regularly.
That's fine. Our truck can load a non-running vehicle without a working key or ignition.
Still fine. Expired or missing registration doesn't stop a sale — the title and proof of ownership are what matter most.
Tell us the situation on the phone. It's still often workable, but may require extra documentation showing how you came to own the vehicle.
In many cases, yes, at least for the paperwork step — but we'll tell you exactly what to bring and what to expect so it's a quick trip, not a guessing game.
