Eric's Expert Take
Eric is our founder and CEO and has nearly 15 years of experience buying and selling used and junk cars. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hey, I’m Eric from The Clunker Junker. I’m checking out our recent offers from across the United States and here’s the scoop. On average, we’re paying out about $573 for vehicles around the country. Small cars like the Honda Civic or Ford Fiesta typically have slightly lower offers at an average of $537. Meanwhile, full-sized pickup trucks such as the Toyota Tundra and Chevrolet Silverado tend to get the highest offers at around $694. SUVs and crossovers - like the Ford Explorer or Jeep Grand Cherokee - typically fall somewhere in between and earn an average offer of $647.
At The Clunker Junker, we have recently purchased a whopping 525778 vehicles and have paid over $300 million! Among these, the Honda Accord was the most sought after vehicle. The Honda Accord is a popular sedan, which is known for its reliability and long lasting performance. However, they can have a few common wear and tear issues over time such as engine misfires and transmission trouble. In such cases, it may be more economical to sell the car instead of fixing it due to the cost of repairs and replacement parts.
The market for pre-owned vehicles has been consistent over the last year, and I don’t foresee any drastic changes in the near future. Prices have fluctuated by around 1.2% each month, and that figure is not likely to change significantly in the near future. Right now is an ideal time to sell your car as prices are stable and reliable. I’ll keep a close eye on the market and be sure to update you with any news or developments.

This is what we're most proud of
We bought Shannon's 2008 Saturn Outlook
"Seriously, the most easy and fast way to sell an unwanted car. I received an offer, within 24 hours I had a check for the agreed amount, and the car was picked up from my home. If you are expecting top dollar for your car because it runs you are better off selling on Craigslist because that is not how Clunker Junker works. It is all about demand! Receiving an offer is so painless might as well see what you can get."

Wendy Sold us her 2004 Chevy Suburban
"We highly recommend The Clunker Junker to anyone looking to get rid of an old car in less-than-stellar condition. After a minor issue submitting our car on the website, I contacted the owner and received a reply in less than 10 minutes. (And this was at 4:30 in the afternoon.) We had a satisfactory offer within half an hour, and were contacted later that evening to arrange for pick-up. Our car was gone and I had check in hand by lunchtime the next day."

FAQs about selling your car for cash
Your questions, answered
Do I need a title to sell my vehicle?
It depends on a few different things like the location, age of your vehicle, and what other documentation you may have available. We can buy some cars without titles in some states, but you will usually need a photo ID that matches a valid registration and/or insurance card to prove ownership. Sometimes additional documents will need to be signed and notarized. We cannot purchase abandoned vehicles or vehicles that have active liens under any circumstances. We will also not pay for impound fees if they are required to release a vehicle.
Does the title need to be in my name?
Yes, to legally sell your vehicle you must be the legal owner. That means a title or registration in your name. Any titles that are "signed over" to you cannot be used until ownership is fully transferred into your name. This is a state law in all 50 states, and "title jumping" (selling a car without transferring ownership first), is technically a felony.
When can you pick up my vehicle?
The Clunker Junker makes every effort to be or work with the fastest and best junk car buyers in your area. Once we collect all the required information (and photos in some cases), we'll forward it to our carrier or buyer immediately and they will reach out to you to schedule an exact day and time for pickup. Our carriers usually respond within a few business hours but can sometimes take longer. Because The Clunker Junker does not directly handle scheduling, we cannot fully guarantee any specific time or date. With that said, however, most of our pickups happen within two business days and many even happen on the same day as submission.
