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 West Virginia. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hey there! Eric from The Clunker Junker here. We’ve been busy reviewing our most recent quoted amounts here in West Virginia and I thought I’d share some insights. Across all car categories, our typical offer comes out to around $416. Owners of compact cars can expect a bit less, with average offers circling the $350 mark. On the flip side, if you’ve got a pickup truck to let go of, you’ll find yourself in a better position, as we’re seeing average offers around $560. SUVs and crossovers are definitely not trailing far behind, with average deals coming in at circa $515.
Our company, The Clunker Junker, has been pretty active recently. In fact, we’ve secured transactions for approximately 2258 vehicles, allocating over 900 grand in the process! Now, if you’ve been around West Virginia, you’ll notice that the Ford F-150 is quite popular, and let me affirm that this extends to our business too. The F-150, a robust and loyal pickup truck, has been our top-selling vehicle. However, it does have its quirks. It’s often afflicted by issues like power window motor failures or brake system anomalies. Given the substantial costs associated with fixing these issues, it often makes more economic sense to sell the vehicle instead. That’s where we step in!
Now, if you’ve been speculating about when to sell your car, let me provide you with some expert perspective. Glancing over at our current “cash for cars” market in West Virginia, we notice that prices have been nearly constant, with barely a nominally slight flux of 2.6% on a monthly basis. This reflects similar stability as observed the year prior, hinting that you can rely on this price steadiness for a bit longer. With the prevailing balance in the market, you’d most likely benefit from selling your car now and cashing in while the opportunity is ripe. Rest assured, I’ll be here to monitor the market movement, and you can depend on me to keep you posted on the latest trends!

- First sign the back of the title where indicated by "Signature(s) of Seller(s)".
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 "Printed Name(s) 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 West Virginia
Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in West 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 West Virginia 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.
- You cannot apply for the title to the vehicle, but if the last registered owner and/or lienholder do not show interest within (25) twenty-five days, the vehicle may be sold by law enforcement at public auction or to a salvage yard to be destroyed.
A Bill of Sale will be issued to be used if sold at auction which can be used with an Affidavit for Possession of a Junked or Abandoned Motor Vehicle to apply for the title to the vehicle.
Can you buy cars in West Virginia without a title?
Nope, sorry! We don’t currently have many buyers willing to make offers on vehicles with no title in West Virginia. You would need to obtain a replacement through your local DMV office. It’s fairly easy, and we can help you with that if needed!
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
West Virginia often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your West Virginia DMV.

Yes, unless you are transferring the plates to a new vehicle. You can return the plates to your local DMV office.

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.
What should I do after the sale?
It’s important to let the DMV know that you sold the vehicle to release liability on it. Complete the sold vehicle notice as soon as possible.
