Buffalo Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Buffalo, we often see a good mix of older and newer vehicles coming in. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger from the late 2000s and early 2010s are still common, especially because they’re sturdy and useful. However, many of these trucks have rust problems or worn out suspensions after years of hard use. Sedans such as the Chevrolet Malibu from around 2012 and 2013 are also popular, but they often have issues with their transmissions or leaky gaskets. On the rise, we’ve noticed more SUVs like the Honda CR-V from 2008 to 2012, especially since they’re affordable and practical. Still, some models are aging out, and their repairs can cost more than they’re worth. Smaller cars, like the Hyundai Elantra from 2010 or 2011, are also frequent finds; they tend to have fuel system troubles or worn out brakes. For folks selling in Buffalo, understanding what issues are common can help decide whether to repair or sell quickly. The market remains pretty steady, with most vehicles holding their value within a small range over recent months.
