Local Insights

In Troy, we see a wide range of vehicles coming in, but certain types stand out more often than others. Older trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Ford F-250 are still common, especially models from around 2005 to 2010. Many of these have high mileage and often face issues like worn out suspension or leaking diesel injectors, which can make repairs costly. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry remain popular choices. These tend to be between 8 and 15 years old and usually develop problems with the timing belt or exhaust systems that sometimes outweigh their value. We also get a fair number of compact cars like the Nissan Sentra and Hyundai Elantra, especially models made between 2008 and 2013. Common issues in these cars include electrical glitches and transmission slips, which can be signs they’re ready to be retired. SUVs like the Jeep Cherokee and Ford Escape are in steady demand, especially from owners looking to upgrade or free up space. Recently, newer models from 2015 to 2019 are trending upward as people seek reliable options, while some older ones from the early 2000s are declining in value. The demand for junk vehicles with severe engine or transmission problems is consistent, as they still provide value for parts or scrap metal. This market remains fairly stable, with prices fluctuating only slightly month to month.
