Q: What are the requirements for selling a junk car in Ithaca New York, especially if the vehicle is not currently registered or has an expired registration?
A: In Ithaca New York, we can buy cars that are not registered or have expired registrations, as long as you provide proof of ownership like the title or a bill of sale.

We handle the paperwork needed to legally transfer ownership and help you comply with local city regulations to avoid any fines from the Ithaca city code regarding abandoned vehicles.

A: Downtown Ithaca has tight parking rules, especially around the Ithaca Commons and Collegetown areas, which can make vehicle pickup challenging.

We also utilize local parking permits when necessary so you don’t have to worry about city parking restrictions during the pickup process.

Ithaca Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Ithaca, certain types of vehicles tend to be more common when we purchase used or junk cars. Pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and Dodge Ram are frequently bought, especially models from 2010 to 2015. Many of these trucks have high mileage or minor accident damage but still hold value because they’re good for work or hauling. Compact cars such as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus also make up a large share of our buys. Older Civics from 2008 to 2012 often show issues like rusty bodies or worn out transmissions, which can lower their price. We’ve seen a rise in interest from owners trying to sell SUVs like the Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4, especially when they have engine leaks or rear-end collision damage. Interestingly, lately, the trend for smaller sedans has slowed down, while junk trucks and SUVs are still sought after. Vehicles with heavy body damage, like smashed front ends or flooded engines, are common in our purchases, but their value drops quickly when repairs are needed.
