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 Montana. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hi there, Eric from The Clunker Junker here, bringing you the latest valuations from our work in Montana. As a whole, the average payout we give for vehicles is approximately $409. However, breaking it down by vehicle types, it goes as follows. Small cars like your Honda Civic or Ford Fiesta average slightly less, at about $288. On the other hand, pickup trucks such as your Chevrolet Silverado or Ford F-150 are drawing higher numbers, rounding up to about $824 on average. Lastly, for your mid-range, SUVs and crossovers like Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V average around $433.
So what’s been happening at The Clunker Junker lately? Well, we’ve been rather busy, buying nearly 1560 used vehicles and handing out over $600,000 to our sellers. In Montana, the crowd favorite was the Jeep Grand Cherokee, a robust SUV. Despite its broad appeal, the Grand Cherokee has been known to have transmission problems and electrical issues that can turn out costly to repair. That’s where we step in, offering you a hassle-free way to sell your SUV without the stresses of costly repairs.
Let’s move onto the used “cash for cars” market in Montana. Currently, we’re seeing prices rise steadily, with an increase of 3.2% on average per month over the last 12 months. It appears that the market is making its comeback from the downturn caused by the pandemic, and buyers are on the hunt for more. This surge in demand makes it a prime time to sell your used or junk car while the market is hot. Rest assured, I’ll be on the lookout for any significant market movements to keep you ahead of the game!
