Union City Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Union City, many of the vehicles we buy are about 10 to 15 years old, often with high mileage. Small cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte are very common, especially models from 2010 to 2015. These cars are sought after because they’re affordable and easy to fix, but they sometimes have issues like worn out brakes or broken alternators. Larger trucks, such as older Ford F-250s or Ram 1500s, also come through, particularly those used for work or hauling. These trucks often have tough wear and tear, with many needing engine repairs or transmission work. We also see a lot of SUVs like the Nissan Rogue from 2008 to 2012. Many of these vehicles have accident damage or rust, especially around the wheel wells or undercarriage. It’s interesting that newer models, say from 2017 to 2020, are trending down as people hold onto their vehicles longer, but older, more damaged cars are still common. In particular, cars with flood damage or frontal impact dents are frequently purchased, especially if repair costs are low. The vehicles most in demand tend to be those with straightforward repairs, while the ones with extensive frame damage or severe engine trouble are harder to sell.
