Lakeland Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Lakeland, we see a lot of pickup trucks and SUVs since many residents need vehicles that handle rough roads and carry heavy loads. Ford F-150s and Chevrolet Silverados are some of the most common trucks we buy, often around 10 to 15 years old with high mileage. These vehicles frequently have issues like worn out suspensions, rust, or engine leaks, especially if they’ve been used for work or towing. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are also popular, usually between 8 and 12 years old. These tend to have problems with old transmissions or failing air conditioning systems. Interestingly, sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Nissan Sentra have seen a slight decline in interest, likely because of their age or higher repair costs. Older vehicles, especially those over 15 years, often come in with engine trouble, rust, or rusted frames, making them less appealing for buyers. The market in Lakeland reflects a mix of these trends, with demand mostly leaning toward trucks and SUVs that are still running well.
