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 Idaho. 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, founder of The Clunker Junker, and I’ve been digging into what we’ve been paying for cars in Idaho over the last month. Across all vehicles, we’re averaging about $396 per car. Smaller cars like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Ford Focus tend to land a bit lower, at around $337. On the other hand, pickup trucks such as the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, and RAM 1500 are bringing in the strongest offers, averaging about $698. SUVs and crossovers including models like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Escape fall right in the middle at around $412, which is a nice sweet spot between economy cars and full-size trucks.
In the last 30 days or so, my team and I at The Clunker Junker have bought roughly 2,890 vehicles and paid out just over $1 million in cash. In Idaho, the Ford F-150 has been our most common purchase; it’s a full-size pickup truck that a lot of people use for work, towing, and everyday driving. As these trucks age, they often run into costly issues like transmission failures, severe rust, timing chain problems, and engine misfires, plus expensive suspension and brake work from years of hauling and towing. Once you start facing a few of these repairs at once, it’s often smarter to sell the truck to a cash-for-cars buyer than keep pouring thousands into a vehicle that’s losing value every year.
From a pricing standpoint, the Idaho market has been very steady. Vehicle values are only shifting by about -2.2% each month, which is a fairly small change and keeps us close to where prices were a year ago. That kind of stability is actually good news if you’re thinking about selling—there’s less risk of your car suddenly being worth a lot less next month. In my experience, when the market is this calm, it’s a solid time to cash out of a vehicle you don’t love, don’t use, or don’t want to fix. I’ll keep tracking Idaho prices and make adjustments to our offers as trends shift so you can take advantage when it makes the most sense for you.

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Idaho 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".
- In Idaho you'll need to sign the front of your title in the section that says "Assignment of title". Do not write anything in the lien holder section or anywhere on the back of the title.
- Sign your name on the front of the title where it says "Seller's or Representative's signature"
Always sign in pen on the seller line and never sign in the dealer section. - Print (don't sign) your name on the front of the title where it says "Seller's or Representative's printed name" Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.

How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Idaho

Common questions from our Idaho customers
Can you buy vehicles in Idaho without a title?
Sorry, we probably won’t be able to buy your vehicle if you don’t have a valid title. However, we would be more than happy to help you through the process of obtaining a duplicate title through the Idaho DMV.
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
Idaho often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Idaho 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?
Fill out a notice of release of liability form within five days of the sale of your vehicle.
