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 Louisiana. He is also a data nerd with a finger on the pulse of the cash for cars industry and salvage vehicle values.
Hello there, I’m Eric Mitz, the guy behind The Clunker Junker. Let’s cut to the chase and talk numbers. In Louisiana, the past 30 days saw an average offer of approximately $555 for a wide variety of vehicles. Talking specifics, smaller cars, say a Mini Cooper or Fiat 500, have been scooping a slightly lower average of $492. Not too shabby, right?
On the flip side, pickup trucks have been fetching the highest offers in Louisiana. Think of a beefy Ford F-150 or a capable Chevy Silverado, with these big guys we’ve secured deals averaging around $821. Now, Suvs and crossovers, those comfy family chariots like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4, aren’t too far behind. They’ve been drawing in fairly decent offers around the $614 mark.
In the recent weeks, The Clunker Junker has been pretty busy. To be precise, we’ve bought about 6100 vehicles, and brace yourself for this, spent upwards of 3 Million dollars! And you know what? The Nissan Altima seems to be a hit in Louisiana. This good-looking sedan does have its fair share of common problems, ranging from engine failure to transmission issues. The repair costs can stack up, making it a financially smarter move to sell, especially when the market is in your favor.
Speaking of the market for used cars, the story in Louisiana is a balance of stability and mild fluctuation. Over the past month, prices have seen a minor decrease of around -1.9%. This isn’t a cause for concern though. The prices here have been fairly steady and are pretty much the same as they were a year back. So, if you’ve got a car sitting in your garage, take my word as an industry veteran, now is a great time to sell. As for future prices, I’ve got my eyes peeled on the market, ready to keep you updated with all the trends and changes. Stay tuned!
How to sign your Louisiana car title
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Louisiana 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".
- On a Louisiana title, you will want to sign and print on the back of the title in the section that says "Assignment of title by registered owner". Never write anything in the "re-assignment by licensed dealer" sections.
- 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 on the buyer or transferee line - 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 a duplicate Louisiana title
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Louisiana title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Louisiana you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
- Fill out the Louisiana vehicle application. Complete the "Duplicate Title Affidavit" section.
- Bring your duplicate title application to your local OMV office or mail your application and payment to:
Office of Motor Vehicles P.O. Box 64886 Baton Rouge, LA 70896 - The fee for a replacement Louisiana title is $18.50, plus an additional $8.00 handing fee.
How to get rid of an abandoned vehicle in Louisiana
Getting rid of an abandoned vehicle in Louisiana 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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana
- Attempt to locate the legal owner of the vehicle using the VIN 17-digit number.
- Contact your local law enforcement office to have them affix a (24) twenty-four hour notice of removal on the vehicle.
If the vehicle remains on your property for longer than (24) twenty-four hours, it may be towed and stored as law enforcement seeks out the legal owner. - If the vehicle has remained unclaimed by the registered owner and/or lien holder for a period of more than (3) three months, it will be sold at auction or destroyed, determined by an appraisal.
If sold at auction, the new owner of the vehicle may apply for the title.
Do you buy cars in Louisiana without titles?
Sometimes, yes! Your vehicle will have to be older than 2006, and you’ll be asked for proof of ownership. This is generally a registration or insurance card that matches your photo ID. Offers without title are generally lower than if you had a valid title. We do not guarantee that we can buy every car in every city without titles.
What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?
Louisiana often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Louisiana OMV.
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 OMV 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 the Notice of Vehicle transfer online form.
