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 Dakota. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.


Hi, it’s Eric from The Clunker Junker. I’ve just taken a closer look at some recent figures from our operations in North Dakota and I’d like to share these insights with you. The average purchase price for vehicles in North Dakota currently stands around $351. Compact cars or smaller vehicles typically fetch slightly lower amounts, averaging about $283. This could include cars like the Honda Fit, which are known for their fuel-efficiency and compact size. On the other hand, pickup trucks are receiving our highest average offers, coming in around $527. Here, we’re talking about vehicles like the Chevy Silverado, which are valued for their utility and durability. As for SUVs and crossovers, these vehicles generally fall somewhere in the middle, with an average price around $438. In this category, you’ll find cars like the Subaru Outback that are famous for their comfort and versatility.

Over at The Clunker Junker, we’ve recently purchased roughly 897 vehicles, which amounted to a payout of over $300,000. Quite impressive, don’t you think? Interestingly, our ruling champion in North Dakota has been the Ford F-150, a full-size pickup truck. Like all vehicles, the F-150 can present specific issues over time. These can range from transmission failure to power window problems. Upkeep can grow costly, especially with such common issues. Consequently, it might be a smarter idea to sell your F-150 to us instead of spending hundreds, if not thousands, on repairs.

One thing I’ve noticed about the used car market, being a long-timer in the cash for cars trade, is that it is constantly shifting. Recently, we’ve seen an encouraging upward trend in prices in North Dakota, with an increase of around 10.2 percent each month over the past year. The market appears to be bouncing back from the downturn it experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there’s a growing demand from buyers for more cars. This suggests that it might be an ideal time to sell your car as the market is pretty hot at the moment. As an expert in the industry, I’ll continue to monitor the market closely and will keep you updated on the latest trends and shifts.

How to sign your North Dakota car title

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your North Dakota 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".

  1. On the front of your North Dakota title is a section that says "Assignment and warranty of title". This is the section where you will want to sign and print your name. Make sure to leave the buyer/transferee lines blank, and don't write anything on the back in the dealer reassignment sections.
  2. First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Signature of Seller/Transferor" (see image).
    Always sign in pen on the seller line, and never sign in the dealer section.
  3. Print (don't sign) your name on the back of the title, where it reads "Hand 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 North Dakota title

The process for getting a duplicate or replacement North Dakota title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than North Dakota you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:

  1. Complete the SFN 2872 Application for Certificate of Title and Registration.
  2. Complete a lien release if needed.
  3. Bring your completed duplicate title application to the DOT office (except Williston).
  4. Please note that there may be a 1 to 2-week waiting period before a duplicate title can be issued, and the cost is $5.00. (Paid to the ND Department of Transportation).

How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in North Dakota

Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in North Dakota 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 North Dakota 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 North Dakota

  1. To have an abandoned vehicle removed from your private property, you must first contact your local law enforcement office.
    If the vehicle is missing vital interior components, more than (7) seven years old, and does not display valid license plates, the vehicle will be immediately disposed of. If the vehicle does not meet all (3) three requirements, law enforcement will attempt to locate and contact the last registered owner and/or lienholder.
  2. If the last registered owner and/or lienholder have failed to respond or certified mail has returned undeliverable, the vehicle will be sold at public auction.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy vehicles without a title in North Dakota?

As much as we’d love to, we can’t. Our buyers in North Dakota do not currently buy without title. However, if you need help getting a duplicate title, The Clunker Junker would be happy to help! Once a replacement title is received, we could then buy your car.

What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?

North Dakota often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your North Dakota DVS.

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 DVS 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?

You may need to notify your local DVS that you have sold the vehicle. You can contact them with any additional questions or concerns about the transfer of your title.
