Q: Are there any special city regulations in Arlington Washington I should know about when selling my junk car to a cash for cars company?

Arlington Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
People in Arlington often bring us older trucks like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados. These trucks are around 10 to 15 years old and usually have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles. Many have engine problems or transmission issues because they’ve been worked hard. We also see a lot of smaller cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, mainly from the early 2000s. These cars are popular because they last a long time and are cheap to repair, but some have rust on the body or have been in minor accidents. SUVs such as Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers are also common, especially those from 2008 to 2012. Many of these have collision damage from fender benders or hail dents. We’re noticing newer models like 2015 and up, especially Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s, are selling faster and coming in more often. But some older SUVs with faded paint or steering problems are still easy to find. On the other hand, we see fewer junk vehicles like early 2000s Volkswagens or old sedans that are no longer running. We buy all kinds of used or junk vehicles, but trucks and compact cars tend to be the most common in Arlington.
