Oak Park Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

We often buy all kinds of vehicles in Oak Park, from older cars to newer models. Many recent pickups like Ford F-150s and Ram 1500s are still popular, especially those made between 2010 and 2018. SUVs, like Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s, also get a lot of attention. But trucks tend to sell for parts or scrap more often now, especially if they are over 15 years old and have high mileage. Small cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas are still in demand, especially if they are under 10 years old. We see a lot of vehicles with accident damage or engine problems, especially older models that have rust or worn out parts. Many cars come from people wanting to get rid of old vehicles that don’t run well anymore. In recent months, we’ve noticed a rise in interest for newer sedans like Hyundai Elantras and Kia Souls. However, older vehicles, especially those over 200,000 miles and with lots of dents or broken features, are becoming less common to buy as working transportation.
