Delaware 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 Delaware. 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 helping people sell their used and junk cars for over a decade. Taking a look at our most recent data from Delaware, I noticed that we’re paying an average of $659 for vehicles in the state. Compact cars, like the Toyota Corolla or Ford Focus, tend to fetch a bit less—about $634 on average. On the flip side, bigger vehicles such as SUVs and crossovers—including models like the Honda CR-V or Chevrolet Equinox—are seeing our highest offers, coming in around $720. Pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado are right in the middle, with average offers of $683.
Over the past month alone, The Clunker Junker has purchased close to 2,500 vehicles and paid out well over $2 million to car owners nationwide! In Delaware specifically, the Honda Accord was the most common vehicle we bought. The Accord is a dependable midsize sedan, but like many older cars, it can develop serious issues over time. For example, common problems with the Honda Accord include transmission failure, excessive oil consumption, or issues with the air conditioning. Sometimes, the cost to fix these major problems isn’t worth it when you factor in the car’s value. That’s when selling your car for cash makes a lot more sense—especially since we make the process so quick and easy.
As someone who closely tracks trends in the cash for cars market, I can tell you that used car prices in Delaware have been remarkably steady. Over the last 30 days, prices have only moved by about 0.5% each month, meaning there haven’t been any dramatic spikes or drops. We’re seeing prices very similar to what we saw last year at this same time, and I expect this stability to continue in the near future. If you’re considering selling your vehicle, now is a smart time to do it while the market is holding strong. I’ll keep monitoring the trends to make sure you have the latest updates if anything changes.
