RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car

  • Check every compartment, including the glovebox, for any paperwork you might have stored, such as old registration documents or insurance cards. Keep track of what you need to retain and what should be handed over.
  • If you want to avoid the complexities of a private sale, auto salvage yards are worth considering. They are experienced in handling junk cars and provide great offers while managing all aspects of the sale, including paperwork and towing.
  • Emotional attachment to your car can make it hard to set a fair price. Base your pricing on the car’s market value rather than your personal feelings. Research current prices for similar vehicles to guide your pricing decisions. This way, you’ll avoid setting an unrealistic price and attract more buyers.

Valparaiso Insights

Most of the vehicles we buy in Valparaiso are older models from the early 2000s or late 1990s. Many are pickup trucks like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados that have been used for work or hauling. These trucks often have high mileage, sometimes over 200,000 miles, and may have rust or trunk damage from years of driving. Sedans like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas are also common, especially ones around 10 to 15 years old. Many of these have engine leaks, worn out parts, or are missing some of their accessories. We see a lot of cars with accident damage, especially from rear-end crashes or side impacts, which makes them less safe to repair. Interestingly, SUVs such as Ford Explorers and Jeep Cherokees are trending more recently. Buyers look for models from about 10 years ago that still run well. These SUVs may have suspension issues or broken airbags but are usually easier to fix than full rebuilds. Older minivans, especially late 1990s to early 2000s models, are still in demand for parts or scrap metal, but many have frame problems or engine trouble from years of wear. The demand for certain makes and models shifts over time, influenced by local work and lifestyle needs, but vehicles with high mileage or accident history continue to make up the majority of what we purchase in Valparaiso.
