Schenectady Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In Schenectady, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming through, but certain trends stand out. Sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Malibu are still common, especially older models from around 2010 to 2014 with high mileage. Many of these have rear-ended or front-end accident damage, and some have transmission or engine troubles. We also buy quite a few pickups, especially Ford F-150s from the same age range; these trucks often have rusted frames or worn out motors. SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Honda CR-V are gaining popularity, especially newer models from 2016 to 2018, which are in good shape but sometimes have suspension issues or minor body damage. Interestingly, older minivans like the Chrysler Town & Country from 2008 to 2012 are less common now, as they tend to have electrical problems or manifold leaks. Market demand shifts, with newer SUVs trending up and older cars with significant repairs trending down, so it’s a good idea to know what fits the current landscape before selling.
