Central FAQs About Cash for Junk Cars

Q: Will you buy cars in the Indian Mound area?
A: We serve the Indian Mound area and the rest of Central, including Central Woods and Bellingrath Hills.

Q: Do we need to worry about Central Louisiana emissions or inspection requirements when selling a junk car to you?
A: No, Central Louisiana does not require emissions or safety inspections on junk vehicles sold for scrap, so you can sell your car to us regardless of its condition or inspection status. This simplifies the process especially in towns like Alexandria and Pineville where older cars are common and often not up to date on inspections.

Q: How do you handle pickup in neighborhoods with narrow streets or limited parking common in Central Louisiana?
A: We understand that many Central Louisiana areas, such as the historic districts in Alexandria or the smaller communities around Leesville, have tight streets. We use smaller tow trucks designed for easy access in these spots and coordinate pickup times to avoid local traffic restrictions, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free vehicle removal experience.

Q: Does RunBidSell buy cars in other locations?
A: We buy junk cars throughout Louisiana. Locations near Central include Baton Rouge, Prairieville and Laplace.

Central Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Central, we see a wide variety of vehicles come through, especially older models and trucks. Many people bring in late 1990s and early 2000s cars like Honda Civics and Ford F-150s. These vehicles are often around 15 to 20 years old now. Some might have high mileage or engine issues, which makes them harder to sell or repair. Burned-out spark plugs, rusted frames, or worn out transmissions are common problems. We also see a lot of junk cars that are no longer running, often due to accidents or age. Sedans such as Toyota Camrys from the early 2000s are still popular for parts, especially when they have minor accident damage or frame issues. Trucks tend to hold value better in the market, making them more sought after for scrap or repairs. Recently, there’s been a slight increase in the purchase of SUVs like Chevrolet Trailblazers from the mid-2000s, as they are still wanted for parts or rebuilding projects. On the flip side, older compact cars that are too damaged or too rusty tend to drop in value and get sold for scrap. Many vehicles have been in minor collisions, leading to dented bodies or broken windows. Still, some older, well maintained vehicles with clean titles are more likely to find new owners, but the majority we buy are vehicles that serve as parts or are too damaged to be driven again.
