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 Indiana. 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 insights into what we’re seeing in Indiana right now. Over the past 30 days, we’ve purchased about 13,776 vehicles across the state, paying out more than $7 million to local car owners. That’s a lot of happy sellers! The most popular car we’ve bought in Indiana recently has been the Chevrolet Impala, which is a midsize sedan. The Impala is known for being roomy and comfortable, but older models especially can run into issues like faulty transmissions, electrical glitches, and premature rust. Sometimes, repairs just aren’t worth the hassle or the cost, making it a great candidate to sell as-is.
Now, let’s talk about the types of vehicles we’re buying and the offers we’re making. For the average car in Indiana, we’re offering around $533. Smaller vehicles, such as a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, come in a bit lower, with offers landing around $465 on average. Pickup trucks consistently get our highest payouts; for example, Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados are pulling in about $692. SUVs and crossovers sit in the middle, so if you’re looking to sell a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Ford Escape, you can expect offers averaging about $623.
When it comes to pricing, the market in Indiana has been very steady. Over the last month, we’ve only seen prices change by about 0.3%, which means we’re in much the same spot as this time last year. With this kind of stability, it’s a smart time to sell your used or junk car. While I’m always watching for changes in the market, right now prices are holding steady, so you don’t need to worry about missing out.
If you’re looking to sell your car—whether it’s a high-mileage sedan, an aging truck, or an SUV with transmission trouble—feel free to reach out. I’m always here to make the process quick and hassle-free, and I’ll continue to keep you updated whenever there are changes in the market.
