Waukegan Insights
In our experience buying vehicles in Waukegan, we see a lot of different types coming in. Pickup trucks, like Ford F-150s from the early 2010s, are still popular because they are used for work and hauling. Older sedans, such as Honda Civics from 2008 to 2012, are also common, many have high miles but run well if taken care of. On the other hand, smaller cars like Hyundai Elantras or Kia Rios from around 2015 are gaining more interest because they’re affordable and get good gas mileage. We also buy a good number of junk vehicles, especially older cars from the 1990s with lots of rust or engine problems. Many vehicles have accident damage, like front-end crashes on Honda Accords or Toyota Camrys, especially models from the early 2000s. Cars that have significant frame damage often end up as junk. Recently, we’re seeing fewer older trucks and more newer SUVs, like Ford Escapes from 2016 or Chevrolets Equinox. Many vehicles are getting older, so engines and transmissions often need repairs.
