im parting out my old jeep, and one of my buddies is telling me its illegal to do so? i own the vehicle free and clear and have the title. people part cars out all the time, i would think if it was illegal, ads for part-outs would not be allowed on craigslist or the like.
 
hes trying to tell me that because im taking the vehicle apart and selling stuff off it, i am doing what a salvage yard does and i need a permit for that. i dont believe him at all
 
Dan, he's full of horse manure! Just quietly cross him off the list of people whose opinion you trust. The law varies from state to state, but parting out one car or truck doesn't make you a business in any state that I know of. 20 cars would be a little different. :)
 
Only if you live in a community with vehicle restrictions (number of vehicles, must be tagged, etc.) could I ever think there'd be any problem.

we have an HOA that will whine if we have a car sitting not tagged, but the jeep is in my garage so they wont even see it.
