✔ RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Junk Car for Cash in Cambridge
- Before finalizing the sale, make sure to clear out all personal belongings from your car. This includes checking the glovebox, under the seats, and the trunk. Don’t forget to take off the license plates.
- Check for hidden fees before you complete the sale of your vehicle. Some companies may have extra charges related to towing or handling paperwork that are not initially clear. Understanding these details beforehand helps prevent surprises.
- When pricing a non-running vehicle, keep in mind that its value will be lower. Buyers will account for the repair costs in their offers. Set a price that reflects the vehicle’s current state to manage expectations effectively. This can help you complete the sale more quickly and efficiently.

Local Insights
Many of the vehicles we buy in Cambridge are from models like the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-250 trucks, which are popular for work and hauling. These trucks tend to be around 10 to 15 years old and often have engine or transmission issues due to heavy use. Sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte are also common, especially those from 2008 to 2013. Many of these have more than 150,000 miles and sometimes face broken timing belts or worn out suspensions. SUVs such as the Nissan Rogue and Jeep Cherokee are in steady demand, mainly 2009 to 2014 models with high mileage. Although they’re generally reliable, issues with the heater cores or fuel pumps are frequent. Recently, we’ve noticed a decline in older compact cars like the Toyota Yaris, which now sit on the market longer. Conversely, newer trucks and larger SUVs are increasingly sought after, especially those built after 2010 with fewer miles. The market here is quite stable, but trucks and SUVs typically hold more value than small passenger cars.
