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.
Hi, I’m Eric Mitz, founder and CEO of The Clunker Junker. I’ve been in the “cash for cars” business for over 12 years, and I wanted to share some insight into recent car offers we’ve made right here in West Virginia. Over the past 30 days, we’ve paid out an average of $461 for vehicles across the state. For example, small cars like the Honda Civic or Ford Focus have pulled in a bit less, averaging $378. On the higher end, pickup trucks such as the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado are receiving some of the strongest offers, with averages close to $777. SUVs and crossovers—think vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 or Ford Escape—tend to fall in between, at around $569.
In just the last month, The Clunker Junker has bought about 2,331 cars and trucks in West Virginia, paying out over one million dollars to local sellers. One vehicle that keeps coming up is the Ford F-150, which is consistently our most commonly purchased vehicle in the state. The F-150, as many know, is a full-size pickup truck. These trucks are popular workhorses, but as they get older, they often develop expensive issues like transmission failures, rusted frames, or electrical system problems. Fixing issues in high-mileage trucks can be costly, so for many West Virginia owners, selling their old F-150 to us makes more sense than pouring more money into repairs.
When it comes to used car prices in West Virginia, things are pretty steady right now. Over the last 30 days, we’ve seen prices shift by only about 1.6% each month, which is a tiny change. Prices are right around where they were a year ago, and at this pace, I expect them to remain stable for a while longer. That’s good news if you’re thinking about selling your car—there’s no rush, but it’s also a smart time to take advantage of the solid market conditions. I’ll keep watching the trends and will keep you posted if anything major changes in the local cash for cars market!

- 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.
