Upland Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Upland, we see a lot of different types of vehicles come through for buying. Older cars, like 2005 to 2010 models of Honda Civics and Ford F-150 trucks, are still common because people often hold onto them for years. These cars are usually high in mileage and can have engine problems or worn out parts. We also get quite a few SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 from around 2012 to 2016, which are popular but sometimes flood-damaged or have frame issues from minor accidents. Some of these SUVs have a lot of miles on them, and their air conditioning or braking systems might not work well anymore. On the newer side, we see more 2018 and 2019 models from brands like Chevrolet and Nissan. These tend to be in better shape but sometimes have collision damage from accidents, often front-end or rear-end impacts. Interestingly, older junk vehicles, especially from the early 2000s or late 1990s, are still in demand for scrap or parts, although their value is slowly trending down. We notice that trucks and larger vehicles have become more popular lately, especially because they’re used for work or farming. Meanwhile, smaller cars and sedans see a bit of a drop, as they tend to wear out faster. Vehicles with rust or engine troubles are being replaced more often by newer models with accident repairs, but there’s still a steady stream of older, useful cars for parts or scrap value.
