Got a Title Problem?
We'll Buy Your Car.
NKY Auto purchases good, running cars that have a Kentucky title issue — even when no one else will touch them.
If your car runs great and drives well, but you're stuck with a title that makes it nearly impossible to sell through normal channels, NKY Auto wants to hear from you. We specialize in buying vehicles with Kentucky title problems that other dealers and private buyers won't touch.
Whether it's a KY Red Title, a Junk certificate, a Scrap or Destruction title, a Parts Only designation, or a Bill of Sale — if the car is in good running condition and road-worthy except for the title issue, we are interested.
We are looking for cars that would otherwise be good to put directly on our front line and sell — vehicles that run and drive well, look decent, and are only held back by a title designation. If the car has no mechanical issues or major body damage and is simply saddled with a difficult title, that's exactly the kind of car we buy.
Title Types We Accept
If your car has one of these Kentucky title designations, reach out — we may be able to make you an offer.
Kentucky Red Title
Kentucky-branded titles that make a vehicle difficult to register or sell through conventional channels.
Junk Certificate
Issued when a vehicle has been declared a junk vehicle. We evaluate these on a case-by-case basis.
Scrap or Destruction Title
Vehicles assigned a scrap or destruction designation that have not actually been scrapped or destroyed.
Parts Only
Cars designated for parts only — but if the vehicle still runs and drives, we want to know about it.
Bill of Sale
Vehicles where a proper title was never issued or was lost — sold on a bill of sale only.
We Are NOT Looking For Wrecked or Damaged Cars
This program is not for wrecked, damaged, flooded, burned, or otherwise mechanically compromised vehicles. We already have a separate process for acquiring those types of cars through Copart and IAAI.
What we are looking for are cars that a buyer could pick up, drive away, and put straight on our lot — cars that run great and look decent, but are simply burdened with a title that prevents a normal sale.
If your car doesn't run, has major collision damage, or needs significant mechanical work, please do not submit an inquiry.
