Des Plaines Insights
In our experience buying vehicles in Des Plaines, pickup trucks and SUVs make up the bulk of what we see on the market. Older Ford F-150s from around 2008 to 2012 are common, often with high mileage and engine wear, especially around the valve seals or transmission issues. Chevys like the Silverado from similar years are also popular, though rust can be a problem for trucks that have spent time in wetter areas. SUVs such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, often from 2010 to 2015, remain sought after, especially if they’re in decent shape. Many of these models have problems with their suspension or worn out brakes after heavy use. Smaller cars, like the Hyundai Elantra or Toyota Corolla, are also regularly bought, mainly from the early 2010s. These tend to have issues with worn out CV joints, electrical glitches, or worn out clutches if they’re manuals. It’s interesting to see that newer models, like the 2018 Ford Escape and Honda HR-V, are trending upward, and their prices have been staying steady. Older vehicles, especially those more than 15 years old, often come in with engine oil leaks, rust, or accumulated use wear that outweighs their value. The market sees a good number of vehicles needing upgrades or repairs, but in general, the demand for reliable, running vehicles keeps prices stable. We notice that trucks and SUVs tend to hold value better, while older sedans often sell for less unless they’re in very good condition.
