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

  • Before you sell your car, gather the vehicle title and proof of identity. The title is required for ownership transfer, and your ID verifies your identity. Collect any additional documents, such as service records, if available. Properly preparing these documents helps ensure a smooth and efficient transaction.
  • For those who prefer a hassle free transaction, selling to a company like RunBidSell can be effective. They provide immediate offers and manage the pickup and payment. If you’re interested in a potentially higher return and can handle the details, selling to the public might be better.
  • If your car has failed its smog test or lacks a smog certificate, you can still sell it. Companies like RunBidSell will consider the car’s overall condition and parts rather than its emissions status. They do not require a passed smog test for the sale. A failed or missing smog certificate won’t affect your ability to sell.

Local Insights

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.
