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 Louisiana. 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 looking over what we’ve been paying for cars in Louisiana over the last month. Right now, we’re averaging about $605 per vehicle statewide. Smaller cars, like a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, tend to bring in a bit less at around $531 on average, while pickup trucks such as a Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado are getting the strongest offers at roughly $915. SUVs and crossovers like the Nissan Rogue or Honda CR-V land in the middle at about $642, which makes sense given their strong demand and higher scrap and parts values.
In the last 30 days alone, The Clunker Junker has bought about 5,813 vehicles and paid out over $4 million to our customers. In Louisiana, the Nissan Altima has been our most commonly purchased vehicle. The Altima is a midsize sedan, and by the time many owners contact us, it often has costly issues like CVT transmission failures, engine oil consumption, suspension noises, or electrical problems. When repairs start running into the thousands—often more than the car is worth—it usually makes more sense to sell the Altima as-is for cash instead of throwing money at a car that may still be unreliable afterward.
From a pricing standpoint, the Louisiana market has been very steady. Overall car values are only moving by about -0.8% per month, which is a very small change, and prices are right in line with where they were roughly a year ago. With things this stable, it’s a solid time to sell your car because you’re not chasing a dropping market or trying to guess the peak. I’ll keep tracking trends closely, but as of now, if you’ve been thinking about selling your car in Louisiana, the current conditions are about as predictable and safe as they get.
How to sign your Louisiana car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Louisiana 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".
- On a Louisiana title, you will want to sign and print on the back of the title in the section that says "Assignment of title by registered owner". Never write anything in the "re-assignment by licensed dealer" sections.
- First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Signature(s) of Seller(s)".
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 "Printed Name(s) of Seller(s)".
Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.
How to get a duplicate Louisiana title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Louisiana title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Louisiana you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Fill out the Louisiana vehicle application. Complete the "Duplicate Title Affidavit" section.
- Bring your duplicate title application to your local OMV office or mail your application and payment to:
Office of Motor Vehicles P.O. Box 64886 Baton Rouge, LA 70896 - The fee for a replacement Louisiana title is $18.50, plus an additional $8.00 handing fee.
How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Louisiana
Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Louisiana 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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana
- Attempt to locate the legal owner of the vehicle using the VIN 17-digit number.
- Contact your local law enforcement office to have them affix a (24) twenty-four hour notice of removal on the vehicle.
If the vehicle remains on your property for longer than (24) twenty-four hours, it may be towed and stored as law enforcement seeks out the legal owner. - If the vehicle has remained unclaimed by the registered owner and/or lien holder for a period of more than (3) three months, it will be sold at auction or destroyed, determined by an appraisal.
If sold at auction, the new owner of the vehicle may apply for the title.
Do you buy cars in Louisiana without titles?
Sometimes, yes! Your vehicle will have to be older than 2006, and you’ll be asked for proof of ownership. This is generally a registration or insurance card that matches your photo ID. Offers without title are generally lower than if you had a valid title. We do not guarantee that we can buy every car in every city without titles.
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
Louisiana often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Louisiana OMV.
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 OMV 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 the Notice of Vehicle transfer online form.
