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

  • Detail any missing or severely damaged tires by specifying how many are affected and the condition of the remaining tires. Explain how this impacts the vehicle’s driveability and transportation, and any special arrangements needed for pickup.
  • If a quick and easy sale is what you’re after, working with a company like RunBidSell is effective. They offer immediate offers and handle all aspects of the transaction. If you’re looking for a potentially higher price and are willing to manage the sale process yourself, selling to the public could be more advantageous.
  • Avoid making repairs on a junk car before selling it. Junkyards focus on the vehicle’s internal components and scrap metal, not its outer appearance. Any cosmetic damage or exterior wear won’t impact the cash offer. The car’s value comes from its metal and parts. To get cash quickly and avoid extra work, sell the car as is.

Local Insights

In Aurora, we see a wide variety of vehicles come through our doors, especially older models from different brands. Pickup trucks like Ford F-150s and Chevrolet Silverados from the early 2000s are still quite common, but lately their value has been dropping as they age. Many of these trucks have high mileage and engine trouble or rust, especially in the bed or frame, which makes repairs costly. Sedans like Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords from the mid-2010s are popular choices, but they’re also showing more wear and tear. Front-end damage from accidents is frequently seen in these, and some have issues with the transmissions or electrical systems that make repairs expensive. On the other hand, smaller cars such as Nissan Sentras and Hyundai Elantras tend to be purchased for parts or scrap more often now, especially the models over 10 years old with rusted frames or missing engines. In the last few months, we’ve noticed that SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Escape are holding their value better, especially those with lower miles and no major damage. The trend shows older vehicles with significant wear or small problems are increasingly in demand for junk or parts, while newer, well maintained models are staying on the road longer.
