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.
Hi there, it’s Eric from The Clunker Junker. Just taking a look over some recent data from our offers in Rhode Island, and I noticed some interesting trends. For instance, on the whole, we’ve been placing the average car value at approximately $668. But of course, this varies by size and type. For compact cars like the trusty Honda Civic, we’re looking at an average offer around $579. If you’re rocking a beefy pickup, like say a Ford F-150, you could be looking more at an impressive average of $828. For those of you steering SUV’s or crossovers, such as a Hyundai Tucson or a Toyota RAV4, we’re in the median range of about $766.
Here at The Clunker Junker, we’ve had an exceptionally active period, acquiring about 2416 cars and disbursing upwards of 2 Million dollars in the process! A hot favorite amongst Rhode Islanders has been the faithful Nissan Altima. As a classic midsize sedan, the Altima offers a mix of comfort and reliability. However, like any vehicle, it can rack up some common issues over time such as transmission problems or faulty catalytic converters. Sometimes, these repairs can cost more than the car’s value, making selling to us a financially smart decision.
As an expert in the “cash for cars” industry, I’ve seen all sorts of market fluctuations. Currently, our data shows that car prices in Rhode Island are more or less consistent, fluctuating only slightly at a decrease of 1.7% monthly. This is pretty similar to where we were this time last year. Therefore, it seems that these stable conditions will stay with us for some time. If you’ve been considering selling, now’s a perfect time while the market is stable. Rest assured, I’ll be here observing any shifts or developments in the car market and keeping you all posted.
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).

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.
