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 Delaware. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hello there, I’m Eric Mitz, the CEO and founder of The Clunker Junker. I’ve been reviewing our recent pricing trends in Delaware, and here’s what we’ve observed. Currently, our average payout for vehicles in the area is approximately $642. However, this figure varies depending on the type of vehicle. For instance, compact cars such as the Toyota Corolla fetch about $628 on average. On the other hand, our top offers are reserved for pickup trucks—like the Ford F-150—which average around $754. SUVs and crossovers, such as the Honda CR-V, fall somewhere in the middle at approximately $641.
At The Clunker Junker, we’ve recently completed over 2,462 vehicle acquisitions, disbursing more than $2 million in total payouts. In Delaware, the Honda Accord—a sedan—emerged as our most frequently purchased vehicle. Common issues with the Honda Accord include transmission problems, especially in older models, and costly air conditioning repairs. Given the potential for expensive repairs, opting to sell your Accord to us is often a more financially sound decision instead of continuing to invest in maintenance.
As an expert in the cash for cars industry, I’ve been monitoring pricing trends closely. In Delaware, vehicle prices have remained fairly stable, experiencing only a modest 1.8% fluctuation each month. This steadiness mirrors the market conditions we saw about a year ago. With prices holding steady, it’s an opportune time to sell your vehicle while the market is stable and favorable. Rest assured, I’ll continue to track the market closely and will keep you updated with any significant shifts or emerging trends.
