Lakewood FAQs About Cash for Junk Cars
Q: Can you service the Lakewood Park area?
A: Yes, we cover the Lakewood Park area and the rest of Lakewood, including the Birdtown and Clifton Park areas.
Q: Are there any special rules for removing or transferring license plates when I sell my car to a cash for cars company in Lakewood Ohio?

Lakewood Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
We often buy all kinds of used and junk vehicles in Lakewood. Trucks like Ford F-150s from the early 2000s are popular, especially those with high mileage or minor engine issues. Older SUVs such as Chevrolet Tahoes from the late 1990s are also common, often needing small repairs or showing signs of rust. Sedans like Honda Civics from the mid-2010s are still in demand, especially if they run well but have minor body damage. On the other hand, larger trucks and SUVs seem to be trending down in recent years, with fewer being sent in. Many vehicles are around 10 to 20 years old, and a lot have issues like broken transmissions, worn out brakes, or engine leaks. Some cars come in with accident damage or faded paint from years of sun exposure. We notice that younger cars with fewer miles are easier to buy and tend to get more offers, but older vehicles with severe damage might be harder to sell.
