Elkhart Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Elkhart, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming through, especially older models from the early 2000s and some from the late 1990s. Trucks like Ford F-150s and Dodge Rams are quite common, usually around 15 to 20 years old. Many of these trucks have high mileage and some show signs of wear, such as rust or worn out brakes. Sedans like Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are also popular; most are from the mid-2000s and often have over 150,000 miles. Some have engine troubles or transmission issues, and a few have been in minor accidents. We’re noticing that older SUVs like Ford Explorers and Chevrolet Trailblazers are less in demand, but still show up from time to time. These tend to have frame rust or suspension problems. On the other hand, newer, smaller vehicles, like Hyundai Elantra or Kia Forte from the late 2010s, are creeping into the market more often, though they’re less common overall. We also see a fair number of junk vehicles that aren’t running or have been wrecked badly, often from accidents or flood damage. The age trend seems to be moving toward slightly newer cars, as older ones lose their value faster. But overall, trucks and older economy cars still make up most of what we buy, especially those with mechanical issues or cosmetic damage that keeps them from being driven safely.
