Charleston Insights

Many of the vehicles we buy in Charleston are older models, usually between 10 and 20 years old. You’ll see a lot of Honda Civics from early 2000s and pickup trucks like Ford F-150s from the late 1990s or early 2000s. These cars are popular because they’re simple to fix and last a long time. But sometimes, we deal with cars that are more broken down, rusted frames, engines that won’t start, or transmissions that won’t shift. We also see a fair number of cars with accident damage, like crumpled bumpers or bent frames. These tend to be from minor hits or fender benders, especially on older vehicles. Lately, we’ve noticed that SUVs like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 from around 2005-2010 are still in demand. They tend to hold up well and are comfortable for families. On the other hand, some newer models like the Chevrolet Malibu or Nissan Sentra don’t come in as often. We buy a variety of vehicles, but older, more affordable cars are the most common. We also see a rise in junk vehicles, especially those with severe engine problems or rusted bodies, which aren’t worth fixing anymore. Even if they’re too worn out to drive, they still hold value for parts or scrap.

My car had some issues,but they still made me an offer. I set up the pickup time. They came over, and took the car away. – David F.


I tried to sell my battered SUV in Charleston. I gave them a ring and received an offer that was shockingly low. I begrudgingly accepted it to get it off my hands. I arranged for them to pick it up,but the timing felt all wrong. Free towing was a nice touch,but it didn’t lift my spirits. I was grumbling long after they took it away. – George H.
