Provo FAQs About Cash for Junk Cars

Q: Will you buy cars in the Provo Downtown area?
A: We serve the Provo Downtown area and the rest of Provo, including the BYU and Riverbottoms areas.

Q: Do I need to provide a smog check or emissions test when selling my car for cash in Provo, Utah?
A: In Provo, Utah, you generally do not need to provide a smog check or emissions test when selling your car directly to us as a cash-for-cars buyer. However, the Utah DMV requires emissions testing only for vehicle registration in certain zip codes near the Wasatch Front, including parts of Utah County. Since we handle the vehicle pickup and title transfer, we take care of those requirements if necessary, so you don’t have to worry about the emissions paperwork when selling your junk or used vehicle to us locally.

Q: Are there any special rules in Provo about towing or picking up junk cars from neighborhoods like Lakeview or East Bay?
A: Yes, in Provo Utah, there are neighborhood-specific rules regarding vehicle removal, especially in residential areas like Lakeview and East Bay. The city requires proper notification if a vehicle is parked on the street for more than 72 hours, and some neighborhoods have parking restrictions during winter months due to snow removal. When we arrange pickup, we coordinate with you and follow Provo city regulations to avoid towing violations or fines, ensuring a hassle-free cash-for-cars experience without any neighborhood permit issues.

Q: Does RunBidSell buy junk cars in other locations?
A: We buy junk cars throughout Utah. Locations near Provo include Orem, Springville and Spanish Fork.

Provo Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Provo, we mostly buy older cars and trucks that have seen a lot of driving. Sedans like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are still common, especially those from the 2008 to 2012 range. Many of these vehicles have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and sometimes have engine leaks or worn out suspensions. Larger trucks, such as Ford F-150s and Dodge Ram pickups, make up a good portion of our purchases. These trucks are usually from the early 2010s and may have front-end damage from minor accidents or heavy use off-road. We’ve also been seeing a steady number of junk SUVs, like Chevy Equinoxes and Nissan Pathfinders, that no longer run due to transmission or timing chain failures. Recently, we’ve noticed a slight increase in interest for newer models like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte. The older vehicles, especially those from around 2005 to 2010, often have trouble starting or have rusted frames, which makes repairs costly.
