Local Insights

We often buy a variety of vehicles from people in Portage, especially cars and trucks that have seen better days. Many of the cars we see are about 10 to 15 years old, like older Honda Civics, Ford F-150 trucks, or Chevrolet Malibu sedans. These vehicles are usually a bit beat-up from years of use. Some come in because their engines no longer run or they have high mileage, over 150,000 miles. We also get many cars that have been in minor accidents, bump damage or cracked bumpers, and some with more serious collision issues. In recent months, there’s been a rise in interest for older SUVs and pickups. These include models like older Jeep Cherokees or Toyota Tacomas, which tend to have good value even with some damage or mechanical issues. On the flip side, newer vehicles from the last five years, especially sedans like Honda Accord or Nissan Sentra, are less common because owners tend to keep those longer or sell them outright. We notice that vehicles with transmission problems, rust, or blown head gaskets are common pickups for us. Batteries and tires are often worn out too. Our experience shows that a good number of vehicles we buy are about a decade old, with varying degrees of wear and tear, but there’s always a place for those needing a second chance.
