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, I’m Eric Mitz, the CEO of The Clunker Junker. I’ve been reviewing the numbers from our recent car purchases in West Virginia, and I’d like to share some insights. In the past month, we’ve been offering an average of $519 for vehicles in this area. For example, if you have a compact car like a Ford Fiesta or a Honda Civic, expect offers to be a bit lower, around $365 on average. However, if you’re selling an SUV or a crossover, such as a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V, you’ll likely see offers averaging around $741, which is our highest bracket. Pickup trucks, such as the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ford F-150, tend to fall in between, with average offers around $548.
In the last 30 days, The Clunker Junker has successfully purchased about 2,411 vehicles, paying out over a staggering $1 million. Among these, the Ford F-150 has stood out as a favorite in West Virginia. As a pickup truck, the F-150 is well-known but often encounters issues like engine misfires and poor fuel efficiency. Instead of tackling costly repairs, many owners find it beneficial to sell these trucks for cash. This decision can save on maintenance expenses and provides an opportunity to upgrade to a more reliable vehicle.
With my extensive 12 years of experience buying and selling used and junk cars, I’ve noticed an encouraging trend in car prices within West Virginia. Over the past year, prices have been on an upswing, increasing by approximately 5.9% each month. This growth signals a recovery from the economic challenges brought by COVID-19, with buyers eager for more inventory. If you’re considering selling, now is an excellent time to take advantage of this robust market. Rest assured, I’ll keep monitoring market conditions and will update you with the latest trends as they develop!

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.
