  • Before agreeing to the sale, always ask about any hidden fees that might affect your payment. Companies might have additional charges for towing or handling paperwork that aren’t immediately clear. Clarifying these costs beforehand helps you keep the process smooth.

Local Insights

In Reading, the vehicles we buy most often are older cars and trucks. Many of these are around 10 to 15 years old. Common models include Ford F-150 pickups and Honda Civics, which are popular because they run well even after years of use. We also see a lot of SUVs like the Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota RAV4. These vehicles tend to be in decent shape but often have issues with worn out brakes or engines that are on their last legs. Lately, there’s been a rise in older trucks and SUVs because owners are upgrading to new models, but a lot of them still run and can be bought for a fair price. We don’t see as many compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra anymore, as they’ve been declining in value. Many vehicles around 12 years old may have problems with rust, especially on the undercarriage or exhaust system, and some have high mileage that makes repairs expensive. Interestingly, we’ve noticed a bump in older SUVs like the Ford Escape or Jeep Liberty that are still in use but need engine work or new transmission parts. The trend shows that shoppers are looking for reliable vehicles, but the older, high mileage ones with mechanical issues are becoming less desirable.
