Selling a junk moped in California

When selling a junk moped through a private party sale in California, 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 California

California issues a Certificate of Destruction via Form REG 42 for vehicles deemed total losses by insurance companies or designated as junk. Once a Certificate of Destruction is issued, the vehicle can never be re-titled or registered for road use in California.

Required disclosures

California Vehicle Code Section 11515.2 requires sellers to disclose that a Certificate of Destruction has been issued. The bill of sale must state the vehicle is sold for parts or scrap only.

California Required Form: REG 42

California requires Form REG 42 for junk vehicle transactions. No additional state inspection is required.

California steps for junk vehicles

  1. Obtain Form REG 42 from the DMV or insurance company
  2. Surrender the title and plates to the DMV
  3. Provide the buyer with a copy of the Certificate of Destruction
  4. Notify the DMV of the sale to avoid future liability

Buyer warning

A California vehicle with a Certificate of Destruction cannot legally be driven, titled, or registered in any state. It may only be used for parts or scrap. Verify the title status before purchasing.
