What your car is worth in Des Plaines
Your offer is based on what your car is actually worth to buyers in and around Des Plaines: its weight in scrap metal, reusable parts like the engine, transmission and catalytic converter, and current demand.

Selling a car in Illinois: checklist
- Find your title. Illinois titles are handled by the Illinois Secretary of State (Vehicle Services). Lost it? Request a duplicate.
- Clear out personal items from the glove box, trunk and under the seats.
- Illinois plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle, so they can't go to the buyer. You can only transfer them to another vehicle you own.
- Sign the title over at pickup. How to sign it correctly.
- File the Seller's Report of Sale, then cancel your insurance.
