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 Pennsylvania. 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 Mitz here from The Clunker Junker, your friendly neighborhood cash for cars expert. Let’s take a quick lay of the land for our offers in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania over the past month.
In general, we’ve found ourselves handing over about $588 for each vehicle we bought in the area. If we break it down further, we’ll see some variations in the stats. For instance, compact cars, like your nimble Honda Civic or lively Ford Focus, have fetched a slightly lower average price, coming in at about $543. On the other end of the spectrum, there’re the stalwarts of the road, pickup trucks. With their strength and durability, pickups like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado have garnered the highest average offers, around a pretty $729. Somewhere sandwiched in between, we have SUVs and crossovers. With their blend of versatility and comfort, models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V have seen an average price tag of $640 in our buying spree.
Onto the rundown of our recent significant acquisitions. Over the past month, we’ve enjoyed a boost in our vehicle collections, buying up approximately 16,111 vehicles. With that, we’ve shelled out upwards of a cool 9 million dollars! One model that’s been making steady appearances is the Nissan Altima, which is a reliable sedan that’s accounted for a chunk of our Pennsylvania purchases recently. Despite its generally dependable nature, the Nissan Altima is notoriously known for some persistent issues such as CVT transmission failure, which can be an expensive fix. Considering these costly repairs, owners often find it financially sensible to sell it to us instead of coughing up the big bucks to rectify them.
Shifting our focus to the state of the “cash for cars” market, prices seem to have found their comfortable spot in Pennsylvania. Presently, they’ve only been fluctuating slightly to the tune of 1.3% per month. We’re nearly mirroring the market snapshot from exactly a year ago, and my prediction is that these prices will maintain their steady rhythm for at least a short while going forward. If you’re mulling over selling your vehicle, now might be a great time to dive in while the market is as calm as a millpond. As always, I’ll be here with my finger on the market pulse, ready to share the latest trends with you.
How to sign your Pennsylvania car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Pennsylvania 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".
- Find the "Assignment of title" section on the back of your PA title, that's where you'll want to sign, print, and have the notary stamp. Ignore any section that says "Reassignment by registered dealer", you won't be needing that.
- First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Signature of Seller". 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 "Seller and/or Co-Seller Must Handprint Name Here".
Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section. - Make sure your notary signs and stamps the title in the notary section.
How to get a duplicate Pennsylvania title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Pennsylvania title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Pennsylvania you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Fill out the Pennsylvania Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title by Owner.
- Bring your duplicate title application to your local DMV office or mail your application to the PA division of motor vehicles at:
PA Department of Transportation Bureau of Motor Vehicles 1101 South Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17104 - Please note that there may be a waiting period before a duplicate title can be issued and the cost is $22.50. (Paid to the PA division of motor vehicles).
