Rochester Insights

Across Rochester, we often buy a wide variety of used and junk vehicles. Compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte are common purchases, especially those around 10 to 15 years old with high mileage. Many of these vehicles come in with engine trouble or transmission slips, issues that often make repairs less worth it than selling. Pickup trucks such as the Ram 1500 and Toyota Tacoma are also popular, especially models from 8 to 12 years back. These trucks are sought after for their durability, but many have frame rust or accident damage from rough use. SUVs like the Nissan Rogue and Chevy Equinox are trending upward, as families look for space. However, older models over 12 years often have problems with suspension and air conditioning, making repairs costly. Hatchbacks like the Ford Fiesta and Honda Fit are increasingly common, but many have collision damage or worn out brake systems. The local market shows a steady interest in dependable, lower-cost vehicles, especially those needing minor repairs or salvage value rather than showroom condition.
