Can you still sell a junk Pontiac?
Yes. General Motors ended the Pontiac brand with the 2010 model year, but the cars are still on the road and still worth selling. Send the year and model. The offer follows weight, completeness and parts demand. Nothing is billed for the tow, and the money changes hands at pickup.
A brand that is gone
General Motors ended Pontiac after the 2010 model year. No new Pontiacs have been sold since, and the cars that remain are at least fifteen years old. That age brings the title question forward, and it is the first thing we ask.
What sets the offer
Weight, a complete drivetrain, the converter and parts demand. A Bonneville is a heavy sedan, a Grand Am a lighter one. The Grand Prix, especially with the 3800 V6, shares its engine and many parts with other GM cars, so parts buyers keep an interest.
Pontiacs that are other cars underneath
The Vibe was built alongside the Toyota Matrix and uses Toyota mechanical parts. The G6 shares GM platform parts. That sharing is why a junk Pontiac still has value to parts buyers despite the missing badge.
The paper
At 15 or more model years old, a Pontiac without a title may sell with a BMV certificate of authority, the route described in our Indiana no-title guide. Without the title or the certificate, we cannot buy it.

| G6 | 2005 to 2010 | One of the brand's last cars. |
| Vibe | 2003 to 2010 | Built with Toyota; shares Matrix parts. |

- My Pontiac is a 1990s model. Is the paper different?
- At least 15 model years old means the certificate route may apply, if you have no title.
