Lafayette Insights
In Lafayette, we often see a mix of older cars and some trucks coming in for cash. Many of these vehicles are between 10 to 20 years old. For cars, we commonly buy models like the Honda Civic, Ford Taurus, or Toyota Camry. These cars often have issues like worn out suspensions, leaky gaskets, or failing electrical systems. Pickup trucks, especially Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados from the early 2000s, are also popular. These trucks tend to have rust on the frames and oil leaks, especially if they’ve been used as work vehicles. We’ve noticed that smaller cars, like the Nissan Altima and Hyundai Elantra, are becoming less common, while older SUVs, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Escape, are on the rise. Drivers tend to sell these when repairs get too expensive, especially if they need new brakes or transmission work. In recent months, the market for these vehicles has stayed relatively stable, with prices fluctuating less than 3%. That means if you’re thinking of selling, the timing is pretty good as prices haven’t dropped sharply. Many of the vehicles we buy show signs of aging, worn tires, old batteries, or engines that burn oil, making repair costs sometimes higher than their worth. Despite that, we find a steady flow of owners wanting quick cash for their aging cars or trucks, especially when they’ve had enough of costly repairs or just want something new.
