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

  • Once you’ve sold your car, be sure to cancel its registration and insurance as soon as possible. Inform the DMV to update their records and remove your name from the vehicle’s registration. Then, reach out to your insurance provider to halt any further payments. Keep written confirmation of both.
  • Ask about any potential fees for towing and transportation. Clarify if these costs are covered by the company or if you need to pay separately. Knowing these details helps ensure a smooth transaction.
  • Emotional value can make it difficult to set a realistic price for your car. Use market data to determine the fair value by researching prices for comparable cars. Set a price based on this information to help you sell your car more quickly.

Local Insights

In Arlington Heights, we see pickups like the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford Ranger coming in, especially models from 2008 to 2015. These trucks tend to be popular because they’re durable and useful for work or hauling. However, many of these vehicles have high mileage, sometimes over 200,000 miles, and often need work on the suspension, brakes, or transmission. Sedans such as the Nissan Altima and Honda Accord are also common purchases, especially those from the early 2010s. These cars are sought after, but many have issues with CV joints or engine oil leaks, especially if the maintenance was neglected. SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Escape are trending up in the market, with more buyers interested in their space and versatility. Still, some come with accident damage or frame issues, which can bring down their value. We also see a fair number of older compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra from 2005 to 2010, often with rust problems or failed emissions systems.
