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.
Hello there, Eric Mitz here from The Clunker Junker, your trusted partner in junking cars for cash! I’ve been working in this industry for over a decade, and I’ve noticed some interesting trends in our recent offers in Virginia. On the whole, we’re currently paying around $599 per vehicle, depending on the type of course.
Let’s get specific for a minute! If you’re the owner of a compact car like a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic, the average payout you can expect is about $548. On the other end of the spectrum, big pick-up trucks like the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado are fetching closer to $771. In the sweet spot between these two, our clients with SUVs and crossovers, maybe a Volvo XC60 or a Nissan Rogue, are looking at getting an average of $640.
Here at The Clunker Junker, we’ve been busy these past 30 days! We’ve successfully transitioned over 14,033 vehicles from their previous owners and into their new life. Our payouts have been hefty too, doling out over 8 million dollars back into our customer’s hands. Now, our most frequent visitor here in Virginia is the ever-so-popular Honda Accord.
This reliable sedan, the Honda Accord, is indeed a great drive. However, like every vehicle, it comes with its share of common issues. You might be dealing with oil leaks, power steering problems, or even transmission failure. These repairs can cost you a pretty penny, and more often than not, selling it off is the more economical option.
Now, let’s talk the economics of used car prices. As an expert in the cash for cars industry, I’ve observed that Virginia’s car prices have been holding their ground, with a mere -1.3% change each month. Oddly enough, we find ourselves in a similar spot to where we were last year. Given this consistency, it’s currently a great time to sell your old car while the market is stable. Don’t you worry, I’ll continue monitoring the market and keep you posted on the latest 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 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.
