Rhode Island Cash For Cars By The Numbers
We buy cars. A lot of cars.
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 Rhode Island. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Over the past month, The Clunker Junker has made some competitive cash offers across Rhode Island. For example, we paid an average of $653 per vehicle recently. Smaller cars like the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic are on the lower end of our price range, averaging around $539. Pickup trucks, such as the Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado, landed in the middle with typical payouts of $761. Our highest offers recently have gone to SUVs and crossovers—vehicles like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape—which have averaged about $834. These numbers give you a good look at where your car might fall if you’re thinking about selling.
I’m proud to say that at The Clunker Junker, we’ve purchased around 2,600 vehicles in the last 30 days and have paid out over $2 million to car owners across the country. In Rhode Island, the car we bought most often was the Honda Accord, which is a popular midsize sedan. From what I’ve seen, the Honda Accord tends to develop common issues as it gets older, like transmission problems, worn-out suspensions, or electrical gremlins. Repairing these can add up fast, so selling your old Accord—especially when costly repairs are looming—often makes more sense than shelling out hundreds or thousands just to keep it running. We make that process simple and fast.
From my experience as an industry expert, the cash for cars market in Rhode Island has stayed pretty stable lately. Over the past 30 days, prices have only shifted by a small margin—around 1.5% each month. That’s not much movement, and average payouts are right about where they were this time last year. Given this steady trend, now is actually an excellent time to sell your used car, truck, or SUV. If you’ve been on the fence, you probably won’t get a better deal by waiting. I’ll be watching the market closely and will keep you updated with any big changes or opportunities.
How to sign your Rhode Island car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Rhode Island 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".
- On the back of your Rhode Island title is a section that says "Transfer by owner". This is the section you should use when you sign and print. Ignore the sections that talk about dealer reassignment. Anything you write there could make the title unusable.
- First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Signature(s) of Seller(s)" (see image).
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 "Hand Print 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 Rhode Island title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Rhode Island title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Rhode Island you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Fill out the Rhode Island Application for Title.
- Bring your application to the DMV headquarters in Cranston (Duplicate titles are only handled at the headquarters).
- Please note that there may be a waiting period before a duplicate title can be issued, and the cost is $51.50. (Paid to the RI division of motor vehicles).
How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Rhode Island
Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island abandoned vehicle removal procedures. We have given a general overview of what that entails below.

- To have a vehicle removed from your private property, you must first contact your local law enforcement office. They will dispatch a tower to remove the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions in RI
Will you buy my car in Rhode Island if I don’t have the title?
In many cases, yes! We can’t buy every car without title, but our buyers do make tons of offers on vehicles without documentation every day. However, the offers are much lower, and you’ll be required to present photo identification to prove you own the vehicle. It has to match a valid registration.
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
Rhode Island often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Rhode Island DMV.
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 DMV 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 DMV that you have sold the vehicle. You can contact them with any additional questions or concerns about the transfer of your title.
