RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car

  • Before you sell your vehicle, ensure you have the vehicle title and proof of identity prepared. The title is crucial for transferring ownership, while your ID verifies who you are. Gather any additional paperwork, like maintenance records or warranties, if available. Proper documentation helps facilitate a smooth transaction.
  • If a hassle free sale is your goal, working with a company like RunBidSell is effective. They offer immediate offers and manage the entire transaction. If you’re willing to handle the sale details yourself and seek a higher price, selling to the public might be worth considering.
  • If you’re selling a junk car, don’t worry about minor damage. Junkyards are more interested in the car’s parts and scrap value. The condition of the vehicle won’t impact the offer they make. Sell the car as is to get cash quickly and easily.

Bristol Insights

Our experience shows that in Bristol, pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota are still popular choices, especially among local drivers. These older models, usually from 2005 to 2012, often have high mileage and wear on their suspension or engine parts. Compact cars such as the Honda Civic, used frequently, tend to be in lower demand if they’re over 15 years old and show signs of rust or transmission troubles. SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chevrolet Equinox are trending upward, with newer models from 2010 to 2016 selling for decent prices, especially if they have good tires and no major engine problems. On the other hand, older sedans like the Toyota Camry or Ford Taurus are becoming less sought after because of rust issues, faulty sensors, or failing air conditioning. Many vehicles we see are around 10-20 years old, and common problems include oil leaks, broken sensors, and worn out starters. Vehicles with high mileage or accident history tend to drop in value fast, so sellers often look for quick cash offers.
