Cedar Falls Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

We often see a wide variety of vehicles come through when we buy cars in Cedar Falls. Older trucks like Ford F-150s from the early 2000s are still popular because many owners want to keep them running, despite some needing repairs. Smaller cars, such as Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas from the late 2000s and early 2010s, are also common, especially ones with high mileage or minor rust. We notice that newer SUVs, like Ford Explorers from 2015 and 2016, are becoming more sought after, but some of these models have issues with transmission or engine problems. On the other hand, older sedans or compact cars tend to be less popular lately, especially if they have crash damage or significant dents. We also see a fair share of junk vehicles, including cars with severe engine trouble, broken transmissions, or collision damage that makes them unsafe or uneconomical to fix. Many of these vehicles are five to ten years old, showing signs of wear like rusted frames, worn out brakes, or tired batteries. In the last few years, trucks and SUVs have gained more attention because they’re useful for work or family trips, even if they have a few dents or mechanical issues. Conversely, some small runabout cars are becoming less common since they often struggle with higher road costs and repair bills. Generally, vehicles that are more than 15 years old or badly damaged tend to move into junk or scrap yards instead of getting back on the road.
