Pontiac Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Pontiac, we see a wide variety of vehicles come through, but certain types are more common than others. Pickup trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier are popular, especially ones from around 2005 to 2012. Many of these trucks have high mileage, over 150,000 miles, and often have issues like rusted frames or worn out suspension parts. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Ford Fusion are also frequently bought, usually between 2008 and 2013 models. These cars often arrive with transmission problems or electrical glitches after years of use. SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Hyundai Santa Fe are gaining interest, especially models from 2010 to 2015. However, their age means many have rear-quarter panel damage or engine leaks. Lately, older vehicles , especially those over 10 years old , tend to have more accident damage or mechanical problems that make repair costly. Interestingly, newer models from the last five years, especially compact cars like the Kia Forte or Chevrolet Sonic, seem to be less frequently sold to us, perhaps because owners are holding onto them longer.
