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

  • To avoid future issues, cancel your vehicle’s registration and insurance as soon as possible after the sale. Contact the DMV to update their records and release you from ownership. Then, inform your insurance provider to stop further billing. Keep written proof from both sources.
  • Verify the company’s policies on towing and transportation before finalizing the sale. Knowing their procedures helps you plan effectively and avoid surprises.
  • If you have a junk car, there’s no need for repairs. Junkyards buy vehicles for their parts and scrap metal, not their looks. Any exterior damage or cosmetic issues won’t change the offer you get. The value is based on the internal parts and metal content. To make the process quicker, offer the car as is and receive cash without delay.

Local Insights

At our local yards in Athens, we see a lot of older trucks and family SUVs come through. Ford F-150s from the early 2000s are common, especially those showing signs of wear from tough use. Many of these trucks have high mileage, sometimes over 200,000 miles, and often need transmission work or new brakes. Smaller SUVs like the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage are also frequent pickups, usually around 10 to 15 years old. These vehicles often have issues like engine oil leaks, worn tires, or minor accident dents, but they’re still sought after because of their affordability. Interestingly, newer models like the Chevrolet Equinox and Nissan Rogue are proving more popular lately, especially those from 2015 to 2018. Some of these still run well, but some are being bought for parts after crash damage or engine trouble. The average age of vehicles we purchase is around 12 years. Buyers often look for trucks with rust or frame damage, especially from salt exposure, which can be costly to fix. Meanwhile, sedans such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are less common now but still appear, mostly those with mechanical issues, like failing spark plugs or transmission slips. Trends show that older, more damaged vehicles continue to be purchased, but the market is shifting toward more recent, well maintained models.
