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

  • After completing the sale, cancel your vehicle’s registration and insurance as soon as possible. Inform the DMV to update their records and remove your name from the registration. Then, reach out to your insurance provider to halt ongoing billing. Retain written confirmation from both.
  • It’s important to verify any hidden fees that could affect the final amount you receive from selling your vehicle. Some companies might impose charges for services like document processing or towing that aren’t included in the initial offer. Ask about all potential costs and review the terms of the sale closely. This includes checking for fees related to title transfers, vehicle inspections, or additional administrative tasks. Being aware of these costs beforehand ensures there are no unexpected expenses during the sale.
  • When selling a vehicle with accident history, consider how the damage affects its value. Set a fair price based on the car’s condition and repair needs. Being realistic about the vehicle’s value helps manage your expectations and find a buyer.

Local Insights

In Lakewood, we see a wide mix of vehicles coming through our doors. Older pickup trucks like Ford F-150s from the early 2000s tend to be the most common purchase. Many of these trucks have high mileage, often over 200,000 miles, and sometimes have rust or body damage from years of use. Compact sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte also show up frequently, especially models from 2010 to 2015. These cars are popular because they are affordable, but many have issues like worn out suspensions or failing transmissions. We also buy a fair number of SUVs such as Honda CR-Vs and Ford Escapes. These vehicles are sought after for their versatility, but if they’ve hit 150,000 miles or more, they might need new tires, brake work, or cooling system repairs. Interestingly, trucks and larger SUVs are trending up in value, especially newer models from the last 5 years, while many older sedans and economy cars are declining in popularity. Vehicles that have been in accidents or have engine trouble tend to come in more often, as owners look for quick cash rather than fixing costly problems. For example, a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe with front-end damage or a 2012 Nissan Altima with a slipping transmission are common finds.
