Royal Oak vs, the older suburbs, what's different about pricing

Royal Oak cars tend to be in better cosmetic condition than cars from the older industrial suburbs, but they also tend to be smaller and lighter, which works against pure scrap value. Net effect: offers in Royal Oak are usually slightly above the suburb average for running cars, and slightly below for pure scrap-only cars. The mix usually works out fine.
