Grand Rapids Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Grand Rapids, we see a lot of older pickup trucks and SUVs come through for cash. Ford F-150s from around 2008 to 2014 are common picks, often with high mileage and worn out parts. These trucks are popular because they’re tough, but many have rusted frames or faulty transmissions now. We also buy many Honda Civics from the late 2000s, these cars are usually running but have problems like failing starters or leaky valves, which can lead to costly repairs. Sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu or Toyota Camry from 2010 to 2015 are also frequent, often showing signs of wear such as broken AC units or failing suspension parts. On the rise, we’re seeing more interest in smaller SUVs like the Nissan Rogue or Hyundai Tucson, especially those from 2016–2018. These vehicles are still in good shape, but some have issues like bad alternators or engine oil leaks. Conversely, older minivans like the Dodge Grand Caravan from 2007 or 2008 are becoming less popular, mainly because of engine problems or rust. The local market still favors reliable and relatively recent vehicles, but the types that sell quickest are those with minor issues, usually manageable and inexpensive to fix.
