North Carolina Cash For Cars By The Numbers

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 North Carolina. 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 Mitz, founder and CEO of The Clunker Junker, and I’ve spent the last 12 years helping folks turn their old vehicles into cash. I just took a look at our latest numbers for car offers here in North Carolina, and there are some trends worth mentioning. We’re currently offering about $564 on average for vehicles across the state. For smaller cars, like the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, the average payout is a bit lower, around $490. On the other hand, pickup trucks such as the Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado are bringing in the highest offers, averaging about $739. SUVs and crossovers—like the Ford Escape or Honda CR-V—fall right in the middle at $697 on average. These numbers really highlight how the type of vehicle you have can make a big difference in your cash offer.
Our team at The Clunker Junker has been busy lately, purchasing close to 19,773 vehicles in the last 30 days, and we’ve paid out over $10 million to car owners! In North Carolina, the Honda Accord—a reliable and popular sedan—has been the vehicle we buy most often. While it’s known for comfort and efficiency, the Accord tends to develop issues over time, such as transmission problems, worn-out suspensions, and electrical glitches. For many owners, dealing with these common repairs can be expensive, so selling the car for cash often makes more sense than putting more money into repairs.
Lastly, as an expert in cash for cars pricing, I want to reassure you that the market in North Carolina is holding steady. Over the past month, we’ve only seen a slight change in prices—about 1.3%, which isn’t much. Compared to this time last year, prices are nearly the same. This means it’s a great moment to sell your car, since market values are consistent and likely to remain stable for a bit. I’ll continue to monitor trends closely and keep you updated with any important changes, so you can make the best decision when it comes to selling your used or junk car.
How to sign your North Carolina car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your North Carolina 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".
- When signing and notarizing your North Carolina title, make sure you are using the back of the title in the top section that says "Re-assignment of title by registered owner". Leave blank the section for re-assignment by licensed dealers and purchaser's application for new certificate of title.
- First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Signature(s) of Seller(s)" (see image). This may need to be done in front of a legal notary.
Always sign in pen on the seller line, and never sign in the dealer section. - 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. - Have the title notarized, this is required by the state.
How to get a duplicate North Carolina title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement North Carolina title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than North Carolina you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Fill out the North Carolina Duplicate Title form.
- Bring your duplicate title application to the DMV or mail your application to the NC division of motor vehicles at:
N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles 3148 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-3148 - Please note that there is a three to five day waiting period before a duplicate title can be issued and the cost is $25.00. (Paid to the NH division of motor vehicles).

What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
North Carolina often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your North Carolina DMV.

Yes, unless you are transferring the plates to a new vehicle. You can return the plates to your local DMV office.
