Evanston Insights
In Evanston, we mostly get older pickups like the Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota, usually between 10 and 20 years old. Many of these trucks have engine or transmission issues, especially if they’ve racked up high miles. They’re often in rough shape but still hold some value for parts or scrap. Sedans like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are also common, especially models from early 2000s that tend to have worn out suspensions or leaking gaskets. We’ve seen more interest lately in SUVs such as the Nissan Rogue and Jeep Cherokee, which are popular because they’re good for family trips but often have aging brakes or faulty sensors. Recently, fewer newer vehicles like the Hyundai Sonata or Mazda 6 are being bought, mainly because they tend to be in better shape and are worth more in the used market. Vehicles with serious mechanical problems or rust issues usually come from around 15 to 20 years old and are usually bought for scrap or parts. The market here appeals most to those looking to clear out old or damaged vehicles quickly.
