Meriden Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
Vehicles of all types are common purchases in Meriden, but lately, we’ve noticed a shift toward older pickups like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 from around 2008 to 2012, often with high mileage. These trucks are popular for their strength and versatility, but many have engine oil leaks, rust on the wheel wells, or worn out brakes. Sedans such as the Hyundai Elantra or Nissan Sentra from the early 2010s are also sought after, especially models with over 150,000 miles. They tend to have issues like faulty alternators, transmission slipping, or electrical problems that make repairs costly. On the other hand, newer vehicles like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape from about 2015 are trending up, mainly because they’re more reliable and cleaner inside. Many of these are in decent shape, with minor issues like worn tires or basic wear and tear. Older SUVs and trucks, especially those around 2005 to 2010, continue to be a common focus, usually needing some engine work or suspension repairs. We’ve also seen a small rise in interest for electric vehicles and hybrids, although they still make up a small part of the market. If your vehicle is older and showing signs of wear, it might be worth selling now before repairs get too expensive. The market for used cars remains fairly stable, but keeping an eye on the condition and age of your vehicle can help you understand what it’s worth.
