Bessemer Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Bessemer, we see a variety of vehicles come through when we buy cars for cash. Older sedans and trucks from the early 2000s are common, especially those around 15 to 20 years old. Many of these vehicles have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and tend to have issues like worn out suspensions, rust, and old engines that are starting to lose power. Vehicles like the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry are popular, but models from the late 1990s and early 2000s often have problems with timing belts, leaky gaskets, or transmission slipping. Pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado are also in demand, especially models from the early 2000s with higher miles. Many of these trucks are sought after for parts or as fixer uppers, but they often need new brakes, tires, or engine work. More recent used vehicles, say from 2010 to 2015, tend to sell quickly, especially if they’re still running well and have lower miles. However, we’re seeing fewer junk vehicles like old SUVs or hatchbacks from the late 90s because owners are fixing or trading them in instead of junking them. Interestingly, vehicles with severe rust, blown engines, or transmission failures are the most common junk cars we buy. The trend shows that older, more worn out vehicles are decreasing while slightly newer used cars in better condition are increasing in value. If you’re thinking about getting cash for your vehicle, knowing these trends helps. Whether your car is old and falling apart or just an average fixer upper, we buy it. And if it’s a truck or sedan, chances are we’ll be interested, especially if it still runs and isn’t completely failed.
