Eric's Expert Take

Eric is our founder and CEO and has nearly 15 years of experience buying and selling used and junk cars in the state of Arizona. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.


Hi there, it’s Eric from The Clunker Junker. I’ve been crunching some numbers from our Arizona offerings and here’s what I’ve discovered. Right now, the average price we are putting down for cars is approximately $706. If we’re talking about compact cars, think Honda Civics and Ford Fiestas, the value skews a touch lower, averaging around $643. Where you’ll find our top dollar bids is in the pickup truck category. Those solid workhorses, like Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado, are pulling in about $908 on average. And for those who are steering their SUVs and crossovers, like Subaru Outback or Honda CRV, toward our direction, they’re netting an average of about $839.

Shifting gears, let me outline our recent buying trends at The Clunker Junker. To date, we’ve rolled a whopping 12,249 vehicles into our inventory, which translates into a payout of more than an impressive 9 million dollars. Interestingly, the standout favorite among Arizona dwellers has been the Nissan Altima, a midsize sedan. While the Nissan Altima is a great car, it can be notorious for some common problems like poor suspension and transmission failure. Repairing such issues can often run up a hefty bill which may not be worth spending on a car that’s on its last legs. If you find yourself in this situation, you might want to consider selling it to us.

Now as an experienced player in the “cash for cars” business, I’ve been carefully tracking the pricing trends in Arizona. What I see is encouraging - prices have been inching up by around 3.1% every month over the last year. It appears that we are bouncing back from the hold COVID had on the market, and with potential buyers eager for fresh inventory, it’s an opportune moment to sell. As always, I’ll continue to monitor and interpret these market fluctuations to keep you updated.

How to sign your Arizona car title

Required: The state of Arizona requires that all titles are signed in front of a notary public!

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Arizona title when you are selling your vehicle. If there are multiple owners listed on the title, they must all sign the title unless the names are separated with "OR".

  1. Be sure you are using the "Transfer of ownership" section on the top of the back side of the title. Do not sign or print in the dealer reassignment sections!
  2. Sign your name on the back of the title where indicated by "Seller Signature" (see image). This will need to be done in front of a legal notary.
    Always sign in pen on the seller line, and never sign in the dealer section.
  3. Print (don't sign) your name on the back of the title, where it reads "Seller name (printed)". Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.
  4. Your notary will need to sign and stamp the title before it becomes valid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about selling cars in Arizona

Can you buy my car without the title in Arizona?

Most likely not. In the past, we were able to purchase vehicles without title in Arizona, but this is recently changed. There are some exceptions for vehicles that are very old. With that said, the legal owner should be able to easily obtain a duplicate title through your local DMV office.

What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?

Arizona often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Arizona DMV.

Do I need to turn in my license plates?

Yes, unless you are transferring the plates to a new vehicle. You can return the plates to your local DMV office.

What should I do about my auto insurance?

You will need to notify your auto insurance company that you have sold the vehicle, so they can either cancel your policy if the vehicle was sold, or transfer/renew the policy on your new vehicle.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Submit a sold notice through the Arizona DMV website. You can contact them with any additional questions.
