Arlington Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Arlington, we see a steady flow of various vehicles, with trucks and SUVs being the most common purchases. Older models like the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and 2010 Ford Escape are frequent finds. People often bring in vehicles that have high mileage, around 150,000 to 200,000 miles, and sometimes have engine or transmission issues. Many vehicles have minor accident damage, such as dents or bent frames, which can lower their value. We’re also noticing a rise in interest for newer compact cars like the 2016 Hyundai Elantra or 2018 Kia Forte, which tend to be in better shape and drive smoother. On the other hand, some older sedans like the 2005 Honda Accord or 2007 Nissan Altima are becoming less common, partly because their repairs can cost more than the car is worth. Vehicles that saw a lot of city driving are often more worn out, especially with brake issues or suspension problems. The common trend shows shoppers looking for reliable vehicles that can handle rough roads or need less immediate work to stay on the road.
