Des Moines Insights
In Des Moines, we see a lot of older trucks and sedans coming through our doors. Ford F-150s from the early 2000s and Chevy Silverados are some of the most common pickups we buy, often with over 150,000 miles on the clock. Many of these trucks have body damage or rust, especially in the back and undercarriage, and some have engine issues from years of heavy use. Sedans like Nissan Altimas and Hyundai Elantras from about 2008 to 2012 are also popular. They’re usually daily drivers but often have worn out transmissions or leaking seals that make repairs costly. Interestingly, compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are trending upward in demand, especially models from 2010 to 2015. People tend to trade in older models because of rust or minor accident damage, but these vehicles still often run decently. Conversely, newer models, anything less than five years old, are harder to find as junk purchases because they tend to be more repairable and retain value longer. We see a steady flow of these vehicles, with some models gaining popularity over others depending on the year and condition.
