A: Yes, we cover the Corktown area and the rest of Detroit, including Midtown and Greektown.

Detroit Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

We often see a variety of vehicles in Detroit that people want to sell, especially older models that have seen a lot of use. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S-10 are popular because they’re sturdy and useful, but many of these are at least 15 years old now. These trucks often have rust issues, worn out suspensions, or engine oil leaks that make repairs expensive. Sedans such as the Hyundai Elantra and Honda Accord from the early 2000s are also common purchases. These cars tend to have high mileage, and problems like failing braking systems, broken air conditioning, or worn out transmissions are typical. Compact cars like the Nissan Sentra and Kia Forte are gaining popularity among buyers, especially those looking for affordable transportation. Still, many of these are over 10 years old and might need new tires, electrical wiring fixes, or engine work. Recently, SUVs like the Jeep Cherokee and Toyota RAV4 have been sought after more, mainly because they’re reliable and practical. Most of these are around 10 to 15 years old and sometimes have issues with worn out tires, leaking gaskets, or older electronics. Our experience shows that younger vehicles, like 2009-2013 models, tend to sell faster, especially if they don’t have serious mechanical problems. Whether you’re thinking about selling a work truck or a family sedan, knowing what’s currently trending can help you get the best value.
