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.
Hello, my name’s Eric, the founder and CEO of The Clunker Junker. Over the past month, we’ve received a fascinating spectrum of offers from North Carolina. We’re a reputable business that has spent over 12 years in the cash for cars industry, and we have some deep insights to share with you about the local market trends in North Carolina.
Our data from the past month shows that we’re typically offering an average of around $519 for used and junk cars in North Carolina. This isn’t a concrete figure, though, as the price could swing in either direction to a certain degree, depending on the type of vehicle.
Take compact cars, for instance. Regardless of whether it’s a Ford Fiesta or a Hyundai Sonata, small cars are typically on the lower end of our payout scale, averaging approximately $477. These cars are often more affordable to repair and maintain, so their market value tends to be a bit lower.
On the flip side, if you’re selling a pickup truck, like a Ford F-150 or a Chevy Silverado, you’re in for a bit of a windfall. Such vehicles command our highest offers, averaging around $651. This is largely due to the versatility and durability of pickup trucks, which increases their market demand and value.
For those selling SUVs and crossover vehicles, such as a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV4, the average payout rests somewhere in the middle at $606. These vehicles are wildly popular due to their spacious interiors and higher sitting position, providing a comfortable and safe driving experience.
So far, we’ve purchased around 18,775 vehicles and have handed over more than $10 million to our satisfied customers! One of the most sought-after vehicles in North Carolina happens to be the Honda Accord, a sleek and reliable sedan. While the Accord is recognized for its fuel efficiency and longevity, it’s not without its common problems such as premature brake wear and transmission failure. Sometimes, the cost of fixing these issues can closely rival the value of the car itself, making selling a beneficial option for many Accord owners.
Over the past year, we’ve observed that car prices in North Carolina have generally remained stable, with only a marginal monthly change of -0.4%. These stable prices indicate a strong and robust market, making now an ideal time to sell your used or junk car. Rest assured, as part of our commitment to you, we will continue to monitor the market closely, keeping you abreast of the latest trends and shifts.
In essence, it’s been a prosperous 30 days for us at The Clunker Junker. We look forward to continued growth and opportunity in purchasing your used and junk vehicles, and providing fair and competitive offers based on the current market trends.
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.
