Rock Island Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Rock Island, we often buy a mix of older and newer vehicles, but certain models seem to be more popular lately. Mid-2000s Ford F-150 pickups continue to be a common find, especially those with high miles or minor accident damage. Many of these trucks show common issues like transmission slipping or rust spots, but they still hold some value. Smaller sedans like the Hyundai Elantra or Kia Forte from the late 2010s are also frequently purchased. These cars often have issues such as worn out timing belts or electrical problems, especially if they’ve seen more than 100,000 miles. On the rise are compact SUVs like the Jeep Renegade and Nissan Rogue from the early 2010s. They’re in demand for their size and versatility, even if they come with minor crash damage or suspension wear. Conversely, larger SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe are less common now, and prices have been going down. Most vehicles we buy are around 10-15 years old, and many have some kind of repair needed, whether it’s a busted window or engine trouble.
