5. Sit down with the loan associate, who will take a look at your ID and title before examining your vehicle to assess how much you qualify for.

The Title Pawn Requirements

As promised, we'll go over the car title pawn requirements now:

• State-issued photo identification — The easiest document to use is your driver's license which serves as proof of your identity and age. You can get a pawn only if you’re 18 years of age or older.
  
  
• Lien-free title to your vehicle — Otherwise known as a clear title, it proves you don't have any outstanding judgments or debts placed on your vehicle. Unfortunately, we can't offer you a car collateral loan if you don't have a lien-free title.
  
  
• Your vehicle — We use your vehicle to determine how much money you qualify for. Depending on your car's value, we offer between $300 to $15,000. To ensure we can offer you the amount needed, it's worth considering the factors that influence the vehicle's value. These factors are as follows:
  
  
• Condition — The mechanical and cosmetic conditions play major roles in how much your vehicle is worth. Any scratches, dents, dings, bumps, scrapes, and even stained interiors can negatively impact your vehicle's worth. On top of that, if you fail to keep up with regular oil changes, this can compromise its value too.
  
  
• Mileage — The further your car has traveled, the less it's worth. Why? Because it indicates excessive wear and tear. This is especially apparent if your car's odometer has a reading over 120,000. At this stage, it'll need more upkeep than cars that have traveled fewer miles.
  
  
• Age — The younger your car, the more it's worth compared to its older model. Cars tend to lose 60% of their value during the first five years of their life, so if you're looking to receive a high car collateral loan amount, it's worthwhile using a newer vehicle.
  
  
• Make and model — Of course, some makes and models are always worth more than others, regardless of age or mileage. Luxury brands like Lexus, Cadillac, and BMW come with premium features and higher price tags than run-of-the-mill makes like Toyota and Kia.
