RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car

  • When preparing your car for sale, be sure to clear out all personal items. Check the glovebox, beneath the seats, and in the trunk to ensure nothing is overlooked. Also, remove the license plates before completing the sale to avoid registration issues.
  • If you need a fast and hassle free sale, using a company like RunBidSell is ideal. They handle all transaction details and provide immediate offers. If you’re prepared to manage the sale process yourself and seek a higher price, selling to the public might be more beneficial.
  • Selling a car with a failed smog test or no smog certificate is straightforward. Companies like RunBidSell will purchase your vehicle regardless of its emissions status. They evaluate cars based on their parts and condition. A failed or missing smog test will not hinder the sale.

Cape Girardeau Insights

In Cape Girardeau, we see a lot of pickup trucks and SUVs coming through, especially models from the mid-2000s to early 2010s like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Honda CR-V. These vehicles are popular because they’re built tough and can handle both work and family trips. However, older pickup trucks from the early 2000s often have issues like rust, worn out brakes, or failing transmissions. SUVs like the Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Rogue are trending upward, especially newer models from 2015 to 2018, since they’re reliable and good on gas. On the other hand, smaller cars like the Mazda 3 and Hyundai Elantra are less common now; many are getting old and having engine or electrical problems. Most vehicles we buy tend to be between 10 and 20 years old. Some have high mileage, which brings problems like worn out parts or leaking gaskets. Despite some newer models showing less wear, the older vehicles often need repairs that can outweigh their value. Market demand shifts toward more recent SUVs and trucks, while older sedans tend to decrease in value or get sold for salvage.
