Selling a junk atv in Arizona

When selling a junk atv through a private party sale in Arizona, a bill of sale protects both the buyer and seller by documenting the transaction details and the vehicle's condition at the time of sale.

Legal considerations for junk vehicles in Arizona

Arizona does not issue a "junk title" by that name. Vehicles with no resale value except as parts or scrap are issued a Nonrepairable Vehicle Certificate of Title under A.R.S. § 28-2091, or a Dismantle Certificate of Title under A.R.S. § 28-2094. Once a nonrepairable or dismantle certificate is issued, the vehicle can never be re-titled for road use in Arizona. The seller must assign the existing title (or nonrepairable/dismantle certificate) to the buyer and forward it to ADOT MVD with a $4 fee. Notify ADOT MVD of the disposal to avoid future liability.

Required disclosures

The bill of sale must clearly state the vehicle is sold as non-operable parts or scrap only, identify the Arizona title type (Nonrepairable Vehicle Certificate of Title or Dismantle Certificate of Title), and note that the vehicle cannot be registered for road use. Under A.R.S. § 28-2091, a nonrepairable vehicle has been designated as having no resale value except as a source of parts or scrap metal.

ATVs are generally not street-legal without specific state-approved modifications. Some states issue OHV titles separate from standard motor vehicle titles. Other states use the same title system for all vehicles. Verify whether the ATV has a standard title or an OHV certificate.
