✔ RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car
- To avoid future issues, cancel your vehicle’s registration and insurance immediately after selling it. Contact the DMV to update their records and release you from any liabilities. Then, contact your insurance provider to halt additional charges. Keep written confirmation from both sources.
- When selling your car, always review all terms for any potential hidden fees. Extra charges related to towing or handling paperwork might apply, and understanding these fees beforehand helps prevent surprises.
- Don’t spend time on repairs for a junk car. The junkyard is interested in the vehicle’s internal components and scrap metal. The appearance won’t impact the offer. Selling the car as it is will get you cash quickly and easily.

Albany Insights
In our experience buying vehicles in Albany, pickup trucks and SUVs remain the most common types we see. Older models like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado from the early 2000s are still popular, especially those with high mileage and some rust. Many of these trucks have frame issues or worn out suspensions, which can be costly to fix. Smaller SUVs, such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 from around 2010 to 2015, are also common. These tend to have issues with their transmissions or leaking seals after a decade of use. On the other hand, sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Nissan Sentra tend to be more affordable but often have problems with engine oil leaks or broken timing chains, especially in older models. Interestingly, newer vehicles like the Kia Soul or Mazda CX-5 are gaining popularity, but many of these are still under warranty or in excellent shape. The trend shows that people are more willing to sell their older, less reliable vehicles, especially those with high repair costs, for quick cash. Over the past year, we’ve noticed a slight drop in the prices of these older vehicles, around 3 to 5 percent, mostly because of wear and tear. Still, there’s a steady flow of junk vehicles coming in, mainly due to age and engine troubles. For someone thinking about selling, now might be a good time, as the market remains relatively stable and fierce demand keeps prices somewhat predictable.
