Selling a junk farm equipment in Michigan
When selling a junk farm equipment through a private party sale in Michigan, 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 Michigan
Michigan issues a Certificate of Scrapping for junk vehicles through the Secretary of State. The title must be surrendered and the vehicle can only be sold to a licensed scrap processor.
Required disclosures
Michigan Vehicle Code Section 257.217c requires disclosure of scrap status. The bill of sale must state the vehicle is sold for scrap only.
Buyer warning
A Michigan vehicle with a scrap certificate cannot be rebuilt, re-titled, or registered. It is permanently designated for scrap only.
