A: Yes, we cover the Ballston area and the rest of Arlington, including Clarendon and Rosslyn.
Q: Do I need to remove my license plates before selling my car for cash in Arlington Virginia?

We advise sellers to take off the plates and either transfer them to a new vehicle or return them to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. This helps prevent any liability for tickets or violations after the sale, especially since Arlington has active parking enforcement in neighborhoods like Clarendon and Ballston.

Arlington Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Arlington, we notice that pickup trucks like older Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados are still common purchases, especially models from the early to mid-2000s. Many of these trucks have high mileage, often over 200,000 miles, and tend to have issues like rusted frames or worn out suspension parts. SUVs such as the Honda Pilot and Ford Escape from around 2010 to 2015 are also popular. These vehicles often come in with engine or transmission problems, or rear-end collision damage, which makes repairing them costly. Sedans, like the Nissan Altima and Hyundai Sonata from 2012 to 2017, appear frequently in our buying list. Most of these cars have high miles and may have problems with their timing chains or leaks in the transmission. Recently, there’s been a slight increase in interest in compact cars like the Kia Forte and Mazda3, especially models from 2014 or newer, as they tend to be cheaper to repair and economical on fuel. However, older vehicles, those from the early 2000s, are less attractive due to rust and aging parts. We see a lot of vehicles with accident damage, especially rear-end hits or front-end crashes, that are still worth buying for parts or project cars. The most sought after models tend to be dependable, affordable to repair, and simple to part out when they’re no longer drivable.
