Hey, I’m Eric with The Clunker Junker! I’m looking at our recent offers in Maryland and the prices are quite encouraging. Generally, we’re paying out an average of $688 for vehicles in the area. Specifically, small cars such as a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla can fetch us around $650 on average, while SUVs and crossovers like an Audi Q3 or Ford Escape are currently averaging at $769. But the highest offers are for pickup trucks like a Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado - these fetch around $801 on average.
Here at The Clunker Junker, we have recently purchased an astonishing 10,561 vehicles and paid out more than $7,000,000 to our customers! Among all the vehicles we purchased in Maryland, the Honda Accord was the most in-demand model. This reliable, fuel-efficient sedan comes in a variety of trim options and, as one of the most popular cars on the market, offers plenty of features to meet the needs of individual drivers. That said, common problems that Honda Accord owners might encounter include faulty oxygen sensors, faulty ignition coils, and water pump failures – all of which can be costly to fix. In these cases, it’s often a better choice to sell your car than face costly repairs.
It appears that the used car market in Maryland is showing little-to-no signs of fluctuation. Prices have remained largely consistent over the past 12 months, dropping only by a negligible -0.8% month-on-month. As such, it’s currently an ideal market for those looking to sell their car, with expectations that prices will stay the same in the near future. I’m keeping tabs on the market and will inform you of any changes in the prices in due course.
