Colorado Cash For Cars By The Numbers
We buy cars. A lot of cars.
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 Colorado. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
I’m Eric Mitz, CEO and founder of The Clunker Junker, and I’ve been in the cash for cars business for over 12 years. Let’s take a quick look at what we’re seeing in Colorado over the last 30 days. The average payout for a car in Colorado is currently around $792. Smaller vehicles, like the Ford Focus or Honda Civic, are coming in lower, with offers averaging about $661. On the flip side, pickup trucks—think Ford F-150s or Chevrolet Silverados—are fetching our highest offers at about $1,220 on average. SUVs and crossovers, such as Toyota RAV4s or Jeep Grand Cherokees, are right in the middle at $908. These numbers show that, no matter what type of vehicle you have, there’s a strong market for used and junk cars in Colorado.
Speaking of vehicles, we’ve recently purchased about 13,826 cars and trucks nationwide, paying out a total of over $10 million to folks looking to clear out their driveways and garages. In Colorado, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, a popular mid-size SUV, has been the most common car we’ve bought this past month. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is well-loved for its comfort and off-road skills, but it’s also known for issues like transmission problems, electrical glitches, and oil leaks. If you own one with some of these common headaches, it often makes more sense to sell it for cash instead of pouring money into repairs that might not solve the problem for good.
From my experience and by watching the numbers closely, I’ve noticed that the used and junk car market in Colorado is quite stable right now. Prices have only shifted by about 1.4% each month, which means we’re pretty much where we were a year ago. With such a steady market, it’s actually a great time to sell your vehicle—there’s less risk of a sudden drop in what your car is worth. I’ll continue tracking changes and trends to make sure you always have the latest information, so you can make the best decision when you’re ready to sell your car.
