✔ RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car

• Gather any spare keys and key fobs you have for the car, and make sure they’re all in one place. Having all the keys ready to hand over is an important part of a smooth sale process.

• When you’re ready to sell your car, review the terms carefully for any hidden fees. Companies might include additional costs related to paperwork or towing that aren’t clear from the start. Understanding these fees in advance helps you avoid surprises.

• Avoid making repairs on a junk car before selling it. Junkyards care about the vehicle’s metal content and internal parts, not its cosmetic condition. Any external damage or wear won’t impact the cash offer. The junkyard evaluates the vehicle based on its scrap value and components. To simplify the sale and get paid faster, sell the car as is.

Elmhurst Insights

Customers often bring in a mix of cars, trucks, and SUVs from the past decade. Older models like the Honda Civic from 2008 or Ford F-150 from 2012 are common, especially those with higher mileage or engine problems. We see a lot of vehicles with damage from frequent accidents, like side dents or front-end crashes, especially from younger drivers. Many vehicles have mechanical issues, such as bad transmissions or dead batteries, making repairs too costly. Tiny cars like the Toyota Yaris from around 2010 are popular for parts because they’re cheap to run, but they often get totaled after minor crashes. Pickups like Chevrolet Silverados from 2015 are sought after if the engine still runs, but many have rust or frame damage. We notice that newer hybrid models, like a 2018 Honda Insight, are harder to find because many owners keep them longer and only sell when they’re really worn out. Older SUVs, like Ford Explorers around 2007, are also common, often with high miles and worn suspension parts. We tend to see more trucks and SUVs lately, while small economy cars are decreasing, partly because they’re less durable. Vehicles with minor accident damage, especially from rear or side impacts, are frequent. Despite the variety, these vehicles often share a common story of wear, tear, and sometimes, accident repair.
