Houston FAQs About Cash for Junk Cars

Q: Do you buy junk cars in the Montrose area?
A: Yes, we cover the Montrose area and the rest of Houston, including Downtown Houston and the Galleria area.

Q: Do I need to provide a title for a junk car when selling it to a cash for cars company in Houston Texas?
A: Yes, in Houston Texas you must provide the original vehicle title or a lien release if applicable to legally sell your vehicle, even if it is junk. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles requires this to transfer ownership and avoid future liabilities. If you cannot locate your title, we can guide you on obtaining a replacement through the Texas DMV to ensure a smooth transaction.

Q: How does the heavy traffic and Houston Texas neighborhood layout affect pickup times for selling my car?
A: Houston Texas is known for its expansive layout and frequent traffic congestion, especially during peak hours in areas like the Galleria or near downtown. We schedule pickups to avoid rush hour whenever possible to provide timely service. Additionally, some neighborhoods such as The Heights or Montrose have limited street parking which can affect where we pick up your vehicle. We communicate clearly with you to arrange the best pickup spot and time based on local traffic patterns and neighborhood access.

Q: Does RunBidSell buy junk cars in other locations?
A: We buy junk cars throughout Texas. Locations near Houston include Pasadena, Missouri City and Pearland.

Houston Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Houston, we see a lot of interest in older trucks and SUVs, especially models from the early 2000s like the Ford Explorer and Dodge Ram. These vehicles are still common because they’re durable and useful for work or hauling. However, many of these older trucks have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and tend to have issues like broken transmissions, rusted frames, or worn suspension parts. We also buy many sedans, with the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry being popular choices. These cars usually come in the 8- to 15-year-old range and often have problems with tired brakes, leaking gaskets, or failing sensors. Over the past year, we’ve noticed a slight dip in the value of these older vehicles as newer models become more popular. Meanwhile, trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado are trending upward, especially if they’re relatively newer and in good shape. Most vehicles we’ve purchased recently are between 10 and 20 years old, with many showing signs of wear and tear that make repairs costly. If you’re planning to sell an older ride, it’s good to know that demand for running and salvageable vehicles remains steady, but those with major mechanical issues are harder to sell.
