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.
Hello there! This is Eric from The Clunker Junker, here to give you an update on our recent cash for cars activity in West Virginia. We’ve been pretty busy, buying roughly 1957 vehicles in just the past month. We’ve shelled out over a whopping $800,000 back into the local economy, helping folks turn their old, junk cars into cold, hard cash.
Let’s break it down by type.
Starting with the little guys, we’ve seen small cars, like the Ford Focus or the Toyota Corolla, selling for an average of about $358. These compact and subcompact cars may not have the cargo space of their larger counterparts, but they are champions in urban areas for their fuel economy and easy maneuverability.
Next up we have SUVs and crossovers, such as the sleek Nissan Rogue or the rugged Jeep Cherokee. We’ve seen an average payout of $444 for these types of vehicles. They’re popular for their higher driving position, generous cargo space, and often, their off-road capabilities.
Our top offers typically go to pickup trucks, which have been averaging out at approximately $528. These are your Ford F-150s, your Chevrolet Silverados, etc. The Ford F-150, a full-size pickup truck, has been exceptionally popular in West Virginia. But despite its popularity, the model can present owners with some challenges. From its high fuel consumption to some known mechanical issues, such as power window malfunctions and brake failures, it might be financially wise for you to consider selling it, rather than investing in costly repairs and maintenance.
By the way, the average payout for all vehicles in West Virginia from The Clunker Junker is currently sitting sweetly at around $387.
From what I can tell, car prices in West Virginia have remained steadfast, with only a minimal fluctuation of 2.3% each month. The stability mirrors what we observed at this time last year, so it seems as if the market is holding steady. That’s good news for you if you’re thinking about selling, as you can expect a fair and consistent remuneration right now.
I’ll keep monitoring the situation and updating you with the latest market trends. As always, if you have an old clunker taking up space in your driveway, be sure to reach out to us at The Clunker Junker. Until then, drive safe!

- 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.
You can read more about selling an abandoned vehicle in West Virginia
- 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.
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.
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.
