Utica Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
We buy a wide range of vehicles in Utica, especially older cars and trucks that have seen a lot of use. Small sedans like Honda Civics from the early 2000s, around 15 years old, are common because they’re affordable and easy to fix. We also see a lot of trucks, such as Ford F-150s from the late 2000s, which are popular for work and hauling. These trucks might have high mileage, over 150,000 miles, or some damage from hauling or rough roads. Sometimes, cars have minor accident damage or rust from years of wear. SUVs, especially older models like Chevrolet Equinox or Toyota RAV4, are also sought after, but as they age, parts can break down, and they may have frame damage. Recently, we notice a drop in the number of older compact cars and luxury vehicles like older BMWs or Mercedes, mainly because they cost more to repair. On the other hand, we see more pickups and work vans, as businesses and contractors look to upgrade their fleet or get rid of vehicles after years of hard use. Many vehicles we buy are between 10 and 20 years old, with some having engine or transmission issues, or showing signs of rust and accident repairs.
