Cash For Cars in Columbus, OH

Hey there, I’m Eric Mitz, founder of The Clunker Junker. I’ve been reviewing our recent purchases here in Columbus, Ohio, and wanted to share some insights about what we’re seeing in the local market. Over the past 30 days, we’ve been paying about $468 on average for cars in Columbus. If you have a small car like a Toyota Corolla or a Ford Focus, the average offer is a bit lower at $428. At the higher end, pickup trucks—think Ford F-150s or Chevrolet Silverados—are bringing in the most money, with offers averaging around $752. SUVs and crossovers such as the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape sit right in the middle, with offers closer to $520.

In the last month alone, our team has bought approximately 2,523 vehicles in the Columbus area and we’ve paid out more than one million dollars to local car owners. One of the most popular cars people are selling in Columbus is the Honda Accord. The Accord is a midsize sedan, known for its reliability, but as these cars age, they often develop issues like transmission problems, air conditioning failures, or electrical gremlins. When repair costs keep adding up, it usually makes more sense to sell the car instead of sinking more money into fixing it. Letting go of a car with frequent or expensive issues can free up cash for something newer and more dependable.

When it comes to prices, I’ve noticed that the market in Columbus is holding steady right now. Over the last month, vehicle values have only shifted by about -0.4%, which is very minor. Compared to where we were last year, there’s not much difference. I predict this stability will continue for a while, making it a great time to sell your car. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s a good time to act while prices are consistent. As always, I’m keeping a close watch on the market trends here, and I’ll be sure to share any big updates as they come.

Paraphrased version: Hi, I’m Eric from The Clunker Junker. After looking over our activity in Columbus, Ohio over the past month, I’ve gathered some helpful info for anyone thinking about selling their car. Right now, we’re offering an average of $468 for vehicles in the area. Smaller models like the Honda Civic or Hyundai Elantra generally get offers around $428, while bigger pickups like the Dodge Ram or Toyota Tundra are bringing in the highest offers, averaging about $752. SUVs and crossovers—such as the Nissan Rogue or Subaru Outback—fall in between, averaging $520.

We’ve recently bought just over 2,500 vehicles in Columbus and paid out more than $1 million to local sellers. The Honda Accord—a reliable midsize sedan—was the most common car we purchased. But as solid as Accords are, older ones often need major repairs like transmission or electrical work, so selling them now can be a smarter move than spending money fixing them.

On the pricing front, not much has changed lately in Columbus; values are down just about -0.4% over the past month, which means prices are mostly stable compared to last year. Selling now could be a smart choice while the market is calm and predictable. I’ll continue to monitor the market and let you know if anything changes!
