Indianapolis Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Indianapolis, we see a mix of older cars and trucks coming in. Many buyers look for vehicles that still run but might need some repairs. During the past year, Honda Civics from the 2008 to 2012 models were popular choices, especially since they’re affordable and known for lasting a long time. However, many of these Civics have had issues with their CV joints or worn out transmissions, making repairs expensive relative to their value. Pickup trucks like Ford F-150s from 2010 to 2014 also come through our doors frequently. These trucks are in demand for work and hauling, but many have rust spots or engine leaks after hitting 200,000 miles. On the other hand, older SUV models such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2005 and 2006 are common, though they often face problems with other powertrain components and suspension wear. Interestingly, newer models like the 2018 Nissan Sentra are harder to find, but those we do see tend to be in better shape, with fewer mechanical issues. Recently, we’ve noticed fewer junk vehicles, more people are repairing and selling their cars instead of junking them. The used vehicle market in Indianapolis is fairly stable now; prices have not shifted much in the past few months. If you have an older truck or car, it’s worth considering selling it now, especially if repairs cost more than what the vehicle is worth.
