RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Junk Car for Cash in Lakeside

  • For a non-running vehicle, provide a detailed account of the major mechanical issues causing it to be non-operational. Include information on the engine, transmission, or electrical systems and any diagnostics or repairs attempted.
  • If you’re seeking a simple and fast sale, working with a company like RunBidSell can be effective. They manage all transaction details, including making the offer and picking up the vehicle. If you’re interested in a higher price and are willing to handle the sale yourself, selling to the public might be worth considering.
  • Personal feelings can affect how you price your car. Stick to the vehicle’s market value instead. Look at prices for similar cars and use this information to set a fair price. A competitive price will help you sell your car more quickly.

Local Insights

In Lakeside, we often buy a wide range of vehicles, especially older cars and trucks that are no longer running well. Pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and Toyota Tacoma are common purchases, often around 10 to 15 years old, sometimes with engine problems or rust. We also see a lot of sedans such as the Hyundai Elantra and Ford Fusion, many with high mileage and worn out parts that make repairs costly. Recently, SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Jeep Grand Cherokee have gotten more popular, though many of these are damaged from accidents or have transmission issues. On the other hand, compact cars like the Kia Forte and Nissan Sentra have been trending down, with fewer of these getting sold as they age. Vehicles that are 12 to 20 years old with major issues like broken brakes, frame damage, or engine failure are common finds. For those looking to sell, it’s worth noting that vehicles with collision damage or significant mechanical wear tend to have lower value, but even those can still bring decent cash if pretty much scrap or non-running.
