✔ RunBidSell’s Top Tips for Selling Your Car
- Before selling your car, ensure you remove all personal belongings. Check every compartment, including the glovebox, under the seats, and the trunk, to make sure nothing is overlooked. Removing these items helps avoid any mix-ups or forgotten items. Additionally, don’t forget to take off the license plates. This prevents any potential registration issues after the sale.
- Be ready to ask questions about how the buying process works when selling your car. Inquire about the steps involved, how the offer is made, and what you should expect during the transaction. Understanding these details helps you prepare for each phase of the process and prevents any misunderstandings.
- For a damaged or non-running vehicle, price it according to its current condition. High offers are unlikely due to the cost of repairs. Pricing realistically helps in a smoother selling process.

Petersburg Insights
In Petersburg, we buy a mix of older vehicles that have seen a lot of miles or have suffered some damage over time. Popular models include the Ford Escape from 2008 to 2012, which tend to have issues with worn out suspensions and faulty ignition switches. Many of these SUVs arrive with dents, scratched paint, or minor frame damage from rust or accidents. Smaller cars like the 2010 Hyundai Elantra are also common, these usually have high mileage, sometimes exceeding 150,000 miles, and often face problems with the transmission or worn out brakes. We’ve noticed a rise in interest for trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 from 2005 to 2010, especially those with accident history or engine troubles, as they still hold some value to buyers needing parts or repairs. Conversely, newer vehicles, especially hybrids like the Prius from 2013 to 2016, are less frequently purchased due to their high repair costs and declining demand. The older affordable models, despite their flaws, remain sought after because they’re cheap to buy or scrap. Many vehicles arrive with cosmetic issues, such as faded paint or cracked windshields, but buyers are mainly interested in cars that run, even if they need work. The trend shows that older, more affordable vehicles continue to be the most common purchase for parts or scrap.
