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 Virginia. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hi, I’m Eric Mitz, the CEO and founder of The Clunker Junker. With over a decade in the cash for cars industry, I’ve seen all kinds of vehicles come across our lot, and I wanted to share some updates on what we’ve been seeing in Virginia this month. Over the last 30 days, we’ve made offers averaging about $621 for vehicles in the area. For example, smaller cars like the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic tend to get a little less—about $562 on average. Pickup trucks, such as the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado, are bringing in our top offers, averaging around $756. Right in between, SUVs and crossovers like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape are commanding offers near $739.
We’ve been busy! In the past month, The Clunker Junker has bought around 14,788 vehicles and paid out more than $9 million to sellers. In Virginia, the Honda Accord—a midsize sedan—was our most commonly purchased make and model. The Accord is known for its reliability, but older models can struggle with transmission issues, faulty air conditioning, and worn-out suspension components. In a lot of cases, the repair costs start to add up, and that’s when it makes sense to sell rather than pour more money into fixing it, especially when you can get a good cash offer right away.
Looking at current market trends, used car prices in Virginia remain very stable, only moving about 1.2% each month—which is a pretty minor change. We’re in almost exactly the same spot as we were a year ago when it comes to what you can get for your used or junk car. Because the market is steady and offers are holding strong, it’s still a great time to sell if you’re considering it. I’ll be watching prices closely and will keep you in the loop about any important changes or new trends.
How to sign your Virginia car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Virginia 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".
- When you sign your Virginia title make sure you do so on the front where it says "Assignment of title by owner" (section A). Leave the back of the title completely blank or you could end up voiding it.
- First sign the front of the title where indicated by "Signature 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 front of the title where it reads "Printed Name of Seller(s)".
Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.
How to get a duplicate Virginia title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Virginia title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Virginia you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Order a new title online through Virginia's myDMV
- If the title has a lien, complete the Application for Supplemental Lien and Transfer Liens or Replacement and Substitute Titles.
- Bring your duplicate title application to the local DMV, Mail your application and processing fee to the VA division of motor vehicles at:

How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Virginia
Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Virginia 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 Virginia 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 Virginia
- To have an abandoned vehicle removed from your private property, you must first use the 17-digit VIN number to locate the last registered owner and/or lienholder. You must begin the Abandoned Vehicle Process (AVP) at your local DMV with a $25.00 fee.
- The DMV will inform the last registered owner and/or lienholder via certified mail that they have (15) fifteen days to remove the vehicle.
- If the owners/lienholders of the abandoned vehicle fail to remove the vehicle in the allotted time frame, you may post a (21) twenty-one day long intent to auction the vehicle through the DMV website. After the posting period ends, you apply for the title the vehicle, sell it, or have it demolished.
Frequent questions we get in Virginia
Can I sell you my car or truck in Virginia if I don’t have the title?
Sorry, we would love to, but in most cases we can’t. Not many of our VA buyers are currently buying vehicles without a title. As the legal owner you’ll need to obtain a valid title before you can sell the vehicle to us, or to anyone else. Let us know if you need help with that process!
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
Virginia often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Virginia 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.
