Dubuque Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Dubuque, we often see a mix of older cars and junk vehicles coming through. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram and Chevy Silverado are quite common, especially models from the early 2000s with high mileage. Many of these trucks have been broken down from heavy use and show signs of rust or engine trouble. SUVs such as the Ford Escape and Jeep Grand Cherokee are also popular among sellers, particularly those from the mid-2000s that have suffered from transmission issues or leaks. Sedans like the Hyundai Sonata and Mazda 6 are frequently bought, often with issues like worn out timing belts or leaking head gaskets. Interestingly, newer models from around 2015 or 2016 tend to sell quickly if they’re in good shape, but older ones or those with front-end accident damage are becoming less desirable. Most cars bought are around 10 to 15 years old, often needing repairs or just valued for scrap. We see a lot of vehicles that have been sitting idle for a while, with issues like dead batteries, busted radios, or busted doors. The trend shows that trucks and larger SUVs are slightly increasing in value, while smaller sedans and economy cars are trending down, mainly because of their age and higher repair costs. Our experience confirms that vehicles with serious accident damage or engine failure tend to be purchased for parts or scrap, but well maintained, lightly-used models are still sought after.
