Ann Arbor Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Ann Arbor, the vehicles we see most often are older pickup trucks and sedans. Ford F-150s from the early 2010s are still popular due to their toughness, but many come in with rust or engine trouble after years of use. We also buy a good number of Honda Civics from the late 2000s, which tend to have worn out transmissions or high mileage. Sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata are less common now, but older versions often arrive with accident damage or suspension issues. Recently, larger SUVs such as the Chevrolet Tahoe are trending down in value, especially if they have frame damage or leaking seals. On the other hand, smaller crossover vehicles like the Nissan Rogue from 2012-2015 have remained steady in demand, although many have electrical problems or slipping transmissions. The types we purchase most depend on their condition; vehicles with minor cosmetic damage or simple mechanical issues are still sought after, while those with extensive damage or age related wear often come in for junk or parts.
