Common cars we buy in Pontiac

Pontiac was, until 2010, the home of the Pontiac brand, and unlike other suburbs, the brand's name lives on in the city itself. The local fleet reflects that long history with GM:

• Pontiac G6, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Bonneville, Aztek, the brand is gone but the cars remain. We see more old Pontiacs in this city than anywhere else in the country.
• Older Buicks (LeSabre, Century, Regal), long-time Pontiac residents kept their Buicks for decades.
• Chevy Impala, Cavalier, Cobalt, the GM domestic mainstays.
• Older Chevy Silverados & GMC Sierras, work trucks that have been sitting.
• Cadillac DeVille & Seville, older Cadillacs from the 90s and early 2000s.
• Ford Crown Victoria & Mercury Grand Marquis, police-fleet auction cars that ended up as long-term daily drivers.
• 1990s-era domestic minivans. Aztek vans, Astros, older Chrysler minivans.

Local landmarks our drivers know

Special situations specific to Pontiac

• Long-stored vehicles. Pontiac has a lot of "this car has been in the driveway for 8 years" situations. No problem, we handle these all the time, including ones with flat tires sunk into the ground.
• No-keys situations, more common in Pontiac than other suburbs. We'll still buy and tow, just at a slightly lower offer.
• Multi-vehicle estate situations, older homes sometimes have 2–4 vehicles on the property. Batch pickup, single trip.
• Apartment / multi-unit pickups, common situation in Pontiac. We coordinate with property management when needed.

Pontiac is a price-conscious market, and that's where we do best

Pontiac sellers often have older, longer-stored, more "needs work" cars than other suburbs. That's exactly the segment where local buyers beat national online services. Wheelzy and Peddle's averaged pricing models penalize older cars and missing-keys situations more aggressively than a local buyer who can actually evaluate the metal, the parts, and the situation. Don't take the first national quote call a local buyer first.
