Auburn Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In our experience, most vehicles we buy in Auburn are pickups, SUVs, and older sedans. Trucks like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados from the late 2000s and early 2010s are common. Many of these trucks have high mileage and sometimes need significant repairs, but buyers still look for them because they’re useful for work or hauling. SUVs such as Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s from around 2010 to 2015 are also popular. These older models often have worn out brakes or suspension issues but are still in demand for family or outdoor use. We see more older sedans, like Honda Civics and Ford Focus from the early 2000s, especially ones that have been in minor accidents or have engine problems. Recently, we’ve seen a drop in interest in compact cars like Volkswagens or older Hyundais, while larger trucks and SUVs stay steady in value. Many vehicles we buy have some kind of damage, frame issues, rust, or cosmetic dents, especially in vehicles over 10 years old. These vehicles are often no longer running well or have been involved in crashes, but they still hold value for parts or scrap. The market shifts with what’s popular and how much repairs cost, but we always see a steady supply of vehicles in need of some TLC.
