Columbus Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Columbus, we see a good mix of older and newer vehicles coming in. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Toyota Tacoma are popular choices, especially for work or recreation. Many of these trucks are around 10 to 15 years old, with some showing signs of heavy use like rust, bald tires, or engine issues. Sedans such as the Hyundai Sonata and Chevrolet Malibu are also common, usually around 8 to 12 years old. These cars often have problems like failing alternators, worn out suspensions, or minor accident damage from fender benders. SUVs like the Nissan Rogue and Ford Edge tend to trend upward in recent months, especially models made after 2015. They’re in demand for families but sometimes have issues with transmission or CV joints as they age. On the other hand, older compact cars, including the Mazda3 and Kia Forte, are decreasing in value as buyers seek more reliable or newer options. Many vehicles come in with rear-end collision damage or flat tires, and some need extensive repairs that outweigh their value.
