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

  • To avoid any future complications, cancel your vehicle’s registration and insurance as soon as the sale is complete. Inform the DMV to update their records and remove your name from the registration. Then, reach out to your insurance provider to cancel the policy and stop further charges. Obtain written confirmation from both.
  • When selling your vehicle, always ask about any potential hidden fees. Some companies might charge extra for services such as towing, paperwork, or title transfers. It’s important to review the terms of the sale carefully and inquire about any additional costs that might arise. Ensure you understand what is covered in the initial offer and if there are any extra charges for additional services. Being aware of these details helps you manage the sale effectively and avoid surprises.
  • When you receive offers, review them all to see which one is the best. Consider not just the offer amount but also any fees or conditions attached. Comparing these details helps you make a more informed decision about selling your vehicle.

Local Insights

Many of the vehicles we buy in Long Island are older trucks and small SUVs. Ford F-150s from around 2010 to 2015 are pretty common, especially ones with high mileage or light damage. We also see a lot of older Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, usually from the early 2000s. These cars often have engine or transmission issues because they’ve been driven for years. On the other hand, newer models, like a 2018 Jeep Cherokee or a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox, are less common but still show up, usually because they were involved in minor accidents. We’re seeing more trucks and SUVs lately because they’re popular with workers and families, but some older ones are starting to be replaced by newer, more fuel-efficient options. Vehicles with accident damage or needing repairs are common, particularly around the bumpers, hoods, or doors. Some of these cars have engine problems, or the frames are bent from crashes. We notice that vehicles with over 150,000 miles tend to sell more often because their owners want to get quick cash. While certain makes like Ford, Honda, and Toyota are the most popular, we also occasionally see old pickup trucks and compact cars that have been sitting out in the weather for years.
