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 Kentucky. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hello, it’s Eric Mitz here from The Clucker Junker! Recently, I’ve had a look at the bids we’ve made in Kentucky and wanted to share our average payouts. Generally, we’re offering $445 on average for used and a little worse for wear vehicles in Kentucky. For smaller cars like, say, a Honda Accord or Chevy Malibu, the average price hovers around $403. As for our larger vehicles, in particular, pickup trucks such as the Dodge Ram, we’re willing to pay more, averaging about $557. SUVs and crossovers, think Toyota Fortuner or Jeep Cherokee, are slightly less, coming in at around $517 on average.
Over at The Clunker Junker, we’ve been quite busy recently. We’ve acquired approximately 6004 vehicles and doled out a whopping $3 Million to our customers. Our crowd-favorite vehicle in Kentucky turned out to be the good old Ford F-150, a classic and dependable pickup truck. Despite its popularity, like every vehicle, it has its share of common problems. These might include ignition coil failures or spark plug related issues which can cause engine misfires. In some cases, the cost of repair could spiral out of control, so it often makes more sense financially to sell your car rather than to invest in expensive fixes.
Having worked extensively in the “cash for cars” space, keeping an eye on market trends is part of my daily routine. As of late, I’ve observed the prices in Kentucky holding their ground, fluctuating by a minimal 2.7% each month. This means we’re pretty much in the same position as last year price-wise. I anticipate this stability to persist for a considerable amount of time going forward. Because prices are steady, there’s never been a better time to offload your used car. Rest assured, I’ll continue to monitor the market situation and keep you posted on any emerging trends!
How to sign your Kentucky car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Kentucky 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 Kentucky, there are two different ways you might have to sign your title. If you have a Kentucky title and are selling your car within the state, you will need to sign and notarize the front of your title in the dealer only section (yes, really!). Please do NOT follow the image below. However, you should only do this if you are selling to The Clunker Junker. If you are using our website as a reference for a private sale, sign and notarize the back of the title instead.
If you have a Kentucky title and are selling the vehicle outside the state, you will need to sign and notarize the back of the title. Use the image below as an example.
- First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Transferor(s) signature". This will need to be done in front of a notary.
Always sign in pen on the seller line and never sign on the buyer or transferee line - Print (don't sign) your name on the back of the title, where it reads "Transferor(s) printed name(s)".
Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.
How to get a duplicate Kentucky title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Kentucky title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Kentucky you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Fill out the Kentucky application for certificate of title.
- Bring your application to your local county clerk's office.
- The fee for a replacement Kentucky title is $6.00.
How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Kentucky
Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Kentucky can be a difficult process. Unfortunately, you cannot just sell any junk car that ends up on your property if you do not own it. You'll need to follow the Kentucky abandoned vehicle removal procedures. We have given a general overview of what that entails below.
You can read more about selling an abandoned vehicle in Kentucky
- Attempt to locate the legal owner of the vehicle using the VIN 17-digit number.
- Contact your local law enforcement agency to have an abandoned vehicle removed from your private property.
You cannot apply for the title of the vehicle unless you are the towing company in possession of the vehicle
Can you buy vehicles in Kentucky without a title?
In some cases, we can! You will need to be able to prove that you are the legal owner of the vehicle by showing the buyer a valid photo identification that matches a current registration and/or insurance card. Please note, your offer will generally be much less than if you did have the title, and we cannot commit to buying every vehicle in every city without title.
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
Kentucky often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Kentucky DDL.
Do I need to turn in my license plates?
Unless you are transferring your registration, your plates should remain on the vehicle. They will be destroyed and disposed of by the company that purchases your vehicle.
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?
You may need to notify your county DDL that you have sold the vehicle. You can contact them with any additional questions or concerns about the transfer of your title.
