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 Idaho. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.


Hello, my name is Eric and I’m the founder and CEO of The Clunker Junker. We’ve been busy sifting through our recent offers across Idaho and noticed some interesting trends. On a broad scale, our car purchasing offers averaged out at about $430 for a varied mix of vehicles in Idaho.

We found that smaller vehicles, typically compact cars, such as the Honda Fit or Toyota Corolla, tend to fetch a slightly lower price tag around $330. In contrast, larger vehicles, specifically pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado, command higher offers averaging as high as $806. Right in the middle, we have SUVs and crossovers, for instance, the Jeep Cherokee or Ford Escape, that are averaging an offer price of approximately $452.

In recent times, the team here at The Clunker Junker has bought almost 2,487 vehicles, amounting to a total payout of over 1 million dollars! It’s worth noting that our star performer in Idaho has been the Honda Accord. This well-loved sedan is known for its reliability and comfort, but like any vehicle, it can have its share of issues. Problems like failing transmissions or excessive oil consumption can sometimes plague this model, which can lead to significant repair costs. In these situations, it might make more financial sense to sell the car rather than pour money into fixing it.

In my years of experience in the cash for cars and used car price industry, I’ve seen trends come and go. Currently, Idaho’s car prices seem to be steadfast, with only a minor drop of around -2.6% each month. This is very similar to the scenario from last year, leading me to believe that these prices might remain steady for some time yet. Given the stability, it’s an opportune time to consider selling your car. Rest assured, I’ll be monitoring the market closely to keep you up-to-date with the latest trends and insights!

How to sign your Idaho car title

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Idaho 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".

  1. In Idaho you'll need to sign the front of your title in the section that says "Assignment of title". Do not write anything in the lien holder section or anywhere on the back of the title.
  2. Sign your name on the front of the title where it says "Seller's or Representative's signature"
    Always sign in pen on the seller line and never sign in the dealer section.
  3. Print (don't sign) your name on the front of the title where it says "Seller's or Representative's printed name" Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.

  3. The fee for a replacement Idaho title is $14.00.

How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Idaho

Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Idaho 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 Idaho 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 Idaho

  1. If a vehicle has been abandoned on your property, you may contact your local law enforcement office and they will dispatch a towing company to remove the vehicle.
  2. To apply for ownership of the abandoned vehicle, you must first attempt to locate the legal owner of the vehicle using the 17-digit VIN number at your local DMV office.
    You must claim an exemption under the Driver Privacy Protection Act to receive this personal information. The fee for this service is $7.00.
  3. If the owner is found, you may request and begin applying for the title. If they do not have the title and do not wish to apply for one, they may sign a Power of Attorney to allow you to apply for the title.
    If the owner is unknown, you may wish to acquire an attorney to guide you through small claims court and to see if you may apply for a quiet title.
Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from our Idaho customers

Can you buy vehicles in Idaho without a title?

Sorry, we probably won’t be able to buy your vehicle if you don’t have a valid title. However, we would be more than happy to help you through the process of obtaining a duplicate title through the Idaho DMV.

What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?

Idaho often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Idaho 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?

Fill out a notice of release of liability form within five days of the sale of your vehicle.
