The short answer is . The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a government agency responsible for vehicle registration, titling, and licensing, not for purchasing or selling private property.
The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) offers a Vehicle Retirement Program where eligible residents can receive $1,500 or $2,000 to scrap their functional but older vehicles.
If the car is non-operational, salvage yards pay for the scrap metal or usable parts.
