What is cash for cars?

Cash for cars is a way to easily and quickly sell an unwanted car without the hassle and cost associated with selling it privately. When you decide to sell your car through Cash for Cars, we will come to your location and tow away the car free of charge, and you will receive instant cash or check payment at pickup time. No need to worry about creating ads, fielding calls and texs, or haggling over prices.

Selling a vehicle privately can be an extremely timely process, as there is no guarantee that your ad will be seen or attract any real interest. You may also be dealing with buyers from out of state, who require extensive documentation in order to register the vehicle. Selling through Cash for Cars eliminates the hassle associated with selling privately by simplifying the process into one easy transaction. Furthermore, in Washington, you will receive cash on the spot — no check processing time necessary — so you can get your money quickly and be done with it.

How does it work?

The Clunker Junker makes it easy to get cash for your car in Washington, DC. We offer a fast, safe, and convenient way to sell your car. Here’s how the process works:

  1. First, you’ll enter details about your car such as the year, make, and model, vehicle mileage, condition, and location. Be sure to be as accurate and honest as possible since every detail matters. In some cases we may request photos of the vehicle to verify the condition of the vehicle.

  2. Next, we’ll give you an instant online or over-the-phone offer based on the information provided. You’ll never have to wait around for someone to get back to you or call you with an offer.

  3. If you accept our offer, we’ll schedule pickup with one of our carriers or DC area car buyers. Most vehicles can be picked up within a few days or even same day in some cases (though we can’t guarantee any specific pickup time).

  4. When the tow driver arrives at your location they will exchange payment for your keys, ownership documents, and vehicle—all free of charge! The buyer handles all the title paperwork but it is recommended that you notify the DMV that the vehicle was sold.

That’s it! Contact us today at (888) 383-4181 to get started and receive cash for your car in Washington DC!

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 Washington, DC. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.


Hello, I’m Eric Mitz, CEO and founder of The Clunker Junker. As I review our latest offers in Washington, D.C., I notice some interesting trends. Our average offer for vehicles in the area stands at about $705. If you have a small car like a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla, you might receive on average around $601. On the other hand, pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado are fetching the highest offers, with an average of approximately $1,225. SUVs and crossovers, including models like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape, are priced somewhere in the middle, averaging $911.

In the past month, The Clunker Junker has bought approximately 895 vehicles, paying out over $600,000. One of the most frequently sold models in Washington has been the Nissan Altima, which is a sedan. The Altima sometimes faces issues like transmission problems and faulty power steering, which can be expensive to fix. For owners dealing with these recurrent issues, selling the car can be a practical option rather than spending more on repairs.

As an expert in the cash-for-cars industry, I’ve noticed that vehicle prices in Washington, D.C. have remained relatively stable, with only a slight decline of 1.4% each month. We’re witnessing market conditions similar to those of the previous year. With the market holding steady, it’s an opportune time to sell your vehicle because prices aren’t experiencing dramatic fluctuations. Rest assured, I’m committed to monitoring the market and will keep you updated on any shifts or new trends in pricing.

    My husband wanted a quote on our 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee & the following day feb 20th, I received a text from Amy at the clunker junker. They advised us that someone from the tow trunk company would contact us within the next 24 hours. This morning I got a call saying they would possibly be able to pick up between 12 & 4pm. The tow trunk guy called me and was here by 2pm to get our Jeep and we had our check in hand! Super quick and easy! Every time we’ve junked a car in the past it was always a hassle to find a tow trunk company, schedule a time, and took over 15 minutes to get the check. This was insanely easy and awesome customer service! Everyone we spoke to or dealt with was hands down amazing!Also I was 100% skeptical because I’ve never heard of them but after reading reviews, I was like let’s try them out and it was just SO easy! Highly recommend!

  • They were speedy in their responses to my questions, and made a great offer for our car. The whole process was very easy and they gave perfectly clear instructions for us during the sale. Definitely would go through them again if/when we have the need.

FAQs about selling your car in Washington, DC

Your questions, answered

Do I need a title to sell my vehicle?

Unfortunately we cannot usually buy vehicles with no title in Washington, DC. Sorry about this! District Of Columbia has very strict laws around vehicle ownership and we are at the mercy of following those regulations. You would need to obtain a replacement or duplicate title from your local DMV (see below). Once you have your title in hand we'll be happy to buy your junk car!

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.

Does my vehicle need a catalytic converter?

Stolen catalytic converters are an increasingly common problem. The converter is not technically required, but your offer may change significantly if it is missing or has been replaced with an aftermarket part. All offers are subject to change when the converter is missing or replaced with aftermarket.
