Car title loans in Golden Valley, MN

Car title loans are allowed in Minnesota only from lenders licensed by the Department of Commerce (industrial loan and thrift or regulated lender), and charges are limited to the pawnshop maximum of 3% a month plus a limited storage/service fee. You can start online; the lender will need to see the car and a lien-free (or nearly paid-off) title in your name.

The title-loan statute covers loans of $1,000 or less. Most lenders lend a percentage of the car's wholesale value.

A vehicle covered by a title pawn may not be sold until 90 days after the vehicle is recovered. Title pawnbrokers must be licensed used-car dealers and verify liens and insurance.

Sometimes. If you still owe money on your car, some lenders may approve a title loan based on your equity, meaning the car's value minus what you owe.
