RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car

  • When your vehicle is sold, promptly cancel its registration and insurance. Notify the DMV to update their records and avoid future fines. Reach out to your insurance provider to cancel the policy and stop ongoing charges. Store written confirmation of both actions securely.
  • When choosing a selling method, consider the balance between convenience and potential profit. Companies like RunBidSell offer a quick, efficient sale with instant offers and pickups. Selling to the public might lead to a higher price but requires more effort and time.
  • If you are selling a vehicle that has been in an accident, be prepared for lower offers. The accident will affect the vehicle’s market value. Price your car based on its current condition and repair needs. This helps in setting a fair price and managing your expectations.

Joliet Insights

In Joliet, we see a lot of different types of vehicles come in, but some are more common than others. Trucks, especially older Ford F-150s from the late 2000s and early 2010s, are still popular with drivers needing work trucks or those looking to customize their rides. SUVs like Honda CR-Vs from the early 2010s are also frequently bought, especially by families or people who want a reliable vehicle for daily use. On the other hand, cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, often from the mid-2010s, are also common, especially with higher miles and some wear and tear. We’ve noticed that newer models, like a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado or a 2018 Ram 1500, tend to fetch more, but older vehicles often come in with bumper damage, rust, or engine problems after a few years on the road. Many vehicles we see have had minor accidents or fender benders, which makes them cheaper to buy but also means they might need some repairs. We also sometimes get junk cars, vehicles that are sitting for parts or broken beyond repair. Vehicles from around 2005 to 2012 are most common in this group, and they usually have more mechanical issues, like blown engines or transmission problems. Vehicles like trucks and SUVs tend to stay in better shape longer, but any vehicle from Joliet can turn into a junker if it’s been in enough accidents or has serious mechanical trouble.
