What Paperwork Do You Need to Sell Your Junk RV in Florida?

According to Florida law, all motor vehicle sellers must perform a series of steps and consider some paperwork. Here is what you need to know:

• In Florida, an active lien on a vehicle prevents it from being sold in a private transaction. The lien must be paid off before the vehicle may be sold lawfully. The title may be transferred if the lienholder notifies FLHSMV that the lien has been satisfied. So first, take care of the lien!
  
  
• The buyer’s name, address, odometer information, selling price, and date of sale must all be included in the Transfer of Title by Seller section on the front of the title certificate.
  
  
• You and the buyer must complete the title transfer in a Florida motor vehicle service center;
  
  
• According to Florida law, motor vehicle sellers must submit form HSMV 82050 (known as the Notice of Sale). This document must be submitted to a motor vehicle service facility to have the seller’s registration taken off the vehicle.

Typically, the RV’s pre-sale paperwork also contains the following details:

• The RV’s make, model, mileage, and year of production.
• A brief explanation of any unique features or improvements.
• A summary of any RV adjustments (if applicable).

Selling an RV in Florida is also a big deal if your trailer was water-damaged, so here is what you need to know:

• If your motorhome was flooded – the greatest hazard for all Florida vehicles, according to the FLHSMV – you must report the damage to your insurance company.

• They will assign a descriptive label to your vehicle, which will be displayed on your RV’s title. This brand describes the vehicle’s current or previous state, such as flood, salvage, or junk. According to Florida Statutes Section 319.14(1)(b), FLHSMV must clearly show on the title that your trailer has flood damage.

• The FLHSMV warns all private buyers against the purchase of any flooded vehicle. 

On top of everything, if you want to get good money for your RV when you sell it, provide buyers with the following extra details:

• Clear photos of your RV’s exterior and interior.
• Guarantee/warranty/insurance documents.
• Your current contact details.

As you can see, selling a junk, wrecked, unusable, flooded, or otherwise deteriorated trailer in Florida is difficult, time-consuming, and costly.

So instead of going through the hassle of dealing with private buyers or junk auto dealers, let us help you!

The price you can get for your broken RV from typical buyers won’t be any good if your vehicle has been flooded or has a rebuilt title. Motorhomes with blown engines, totaled in accidents, or considered salvage don’t fetch high prices from RV enthusiasts, auctions, and markets. In fact, Florida’s HSMV discourages all buyers from purchasing salvaged/totaled, junk, or water-damaged vehicles. 

More than in other states, your options for selling a junk RV for a good price are severely limited in Florida.

Moreover, Florida is a hot spot for the RV parks’ ten-year rule, together with Arizona, so even if you can still drive your ancient trailer, there might be no camping places available for you. In other words, you must get rid of your old clunker either way. 

Your best option is to sell your damaged motorhome to us if it is broken beyond repair. In Florida, we buy any type of junk RV, including old, beaten-down trailers, burned motorhomes, storm- and water-damaged travel trailers, salvaged and rebuilt RVs, etc. We will accept it as is! We also pay quickly by Check, Cash, or Venmo.

Tampa, Fort Pierce, Fort Myers, and Valrico are well-known for their junkyards and used auto parts stores. However, you won’t get much money for your non-working RV from most vehicle wreckers, scrap/salvage merchants, and recyclers.

Ask for a fair offer on your old trailer from us now and get the cash in your pocket faster than you can say, “Alligator State!” Also, We throw in free removal into the deal too!

Is my Old Motorhome Worth Anything in Florida?

Unfortunately, extreme weather phenomena, storms, and especially hurricanes are the bane of Florida’s residents and property. Hurricane Ian alone – one of the most destructive tropical cyclones ever recorded –  caused over $12 billion in insured losses in its wake. It’s safe to say that Florida’s climate can be your RV’s most powerful nemesis. 

The least desirable course of action for any RV owner is to junk a hurricane-damaged motorhome, old or new. Junkyards or salvage facilities will buy it from you, but they won’t pay much – if anything. The scrap/secondhand RV market subtracts zeroes from the price faster than the Florida Man makes the news when calculating damages, the trailer’s age, mileage, make, model, storm impact, etc.

Even while your broken trailer isn’t worth the fortune you paid for it initially, it is still worth more than what a junk or salvage yard will pay you for it.

And waiting for a private buyer to inspect the vehicle’s delaminated walls, damaged electrical system, or blown engine is not an option. Given all the legal disclosure you need to make before a sale, a buyer’s final offer – if it ever comes – will be worthless of your time, effort, and investment in online or paper ads.

If you plan a trip to the Breezy Oaks RV Park, the Big Cypress RV Resort & Campground, or the Grandma’s Grove RV Resort, sell your musty, rusty, and broken trailer to us for good cash and enjoy your adventure in a new RV!

How Do You Sell a Salvage or Rebuilt Title RV in Florida?

While Florida is a champion state regarding annual domestic migration, it is not an easy place to live regarding vehicle ownership and trading. The state treats salvage vehicles differently than non-salvage, so this is what you need to know:

• In Florida, a vehicle is considered salvaged if the insurance company has paid the owner to make up for theft or damage or if an uninsured vehicle has been damaged so badly that fixing it would cost 80% more than it is currently worth.
  
  
• If the vehicle is uninsured, the owner (if the RV is certified as salvaged) or the insurance provider must submit the title to the Florida DHSMV for processing within 72 hours of the vehicle being declared salvaged (wrecked).
  
  
• After receiving the Salvage Certificate of Title, the insurance company takes custody of the wrecked trailer and takes it to an auction location. They make your vehicle available to customers who want to buy its parts or take it whole to fix it. 

• Uninsured vehicle owners can acquire a Salvage Certificate of Title/Certificate of Destruction using the DHSMV customer service or online applications. 

Rebuilt vehicles also need to go through a complicated process. If your motorhome is repairable and you did all the necessary restorations, it must pass a DHSMV inspection. If the authorities deem it safe for road use, you must re-register the RV as “rebuilt.”

If you have a junk RV on your hands – a vehicle that, according to Florida’s definition, is best to get rid of entirely or sell for parts – you can sell it to a junkyard, a private buyer, or a professional junk motorhome buyer. Florida’s DMV warns sellers that junkyards offer small prices for junked vehicles, so it is best if you “shopped around.”

As you can see, salvaging or junking a travel trailer in Florida is no easy feat, especially when you have to waste countless hours with paperwork and fees. You know the odds are not in your favor if you also have to deal with your tax collector’s office or the local DHSMV branch.

If you want to skip all these obstacles and still get rid of your wrecked motorhome for a reasonable price, contact us now for a free estimate, fast cash transactions, and free junk removal!
