RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car

  • Immediately after the sale of your vehicle, cancel both its registration and insurance. Start by notifying your DMV to update their records and remove your name from the vehicle’s registration. This helps prevent any future penalties or legal issues. Then, reach out to your insurance provider to cancel the policy and stop any further charges. Obtain written confirmation of both actions and keep these documents for your records. This will protect you from future expenses and liabilities related to the car.
  • Choosing the right method to sell your vehicle starts with assessing your priorities. If you need a fast and hassle free sale, working with a company like RunBidSell might be the best choice. They offer instant offers and manage the entire process, including pickup and payment. However, if you have time to handle ads and negotiations, selling to the public could yield a higher price.
  • Always gather offers from different buyers when selling your vehicle. This will allow you to compare not only the offer amounts but also any extra fees or conditions. By looking at multiple options, you can make sure you choose the offer that provides the best value for your car.

Placerville Insights

In Placerville, we mostly buy a mix of older cars and some junk vehicles. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S10 are quite common, especially those made between 2000 and 2010. Many of these trucks have high mileage or rust issues, which makes them less appealing to buyers but perfect for our cash-for-vehicles service. Sedans such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry are also popular purchases, often from the early 2000s. These tend to have engine problems or transmission wear after about 150,000 miles. We’re seeing a rise in newer models like the Hyundai Elantra and Mazda 3, especially ones with minor accident damage or cosmetic issues. On the other hand, older SUVs like the Ford Escape and Jeep Grand Cherokee are decreasing in demand, many have fluid leaks or worn out suspension parts. Vehicles with accident damage, especially from crashes or floodings, are still common, but the types that come in vary depending on the year and model. Generally, we buy vehicles that are around 10 to 20 years old, often with engine or transmission issues or body damage from rust or collisions. Most vehicles we see are still running but need repairs or have parts worth salvaging.
