Selling a junk electric vehicle in Illinois
When selling a junk electric vehicle through a private party sale in Illinois, 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 Illinois
Illinois issues a Junking Certificate through the Secretary of State for vehicles designated as junk. The title must be surrendered and the vehicle cannot be re-titled once the Junking Certificate is issued.
Required disclosures
Illinois Vehicle Code 625 ILCS 5/3-117.1 requires disclosure of a junk designation. The bill of sale must state the vehicle is sold for scrap or parts only.
