Cedar Rapids Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In Cedar Rapids, we often see a mix of older and newer vehicles coming in for cash offers. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado are popular, especially those between 2005 and 2012, because they’re tough but tend to have issues with rust and worn out suspensions. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata from the late 2000s also come through, often suffering from failing transmissions or engine oil leaks. Compact cars like the Ford Fiesta and Nissan Versa from 2010 or earlier are common buys, but many of these have high mileage and problems with the electrical system or small rust spots. SUVs like the Ford Escape and Subaru Outback are trending up lately, especially models from 2012 to 2015, because they’re practical and affordable. We notice more older cars, around 15 years old, with serious issues like broken timing belts or worn out interiors, making repairs costly. As for current market trends, vehicles with over 150,000 miles are decreasing in value, but newer models with moderate wear are still in demand for quick flips.
