Rochester Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Rochester, we see a lot of older cars coming in, especially those from the 2000s and early 2010s. Pickups like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S10 are still popular among those needing work trucks or parts. Many of these trucks have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and common problems include rusted frames, worn out engines, or slipping transmissions. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are also frequently purchased. These cars are usually around 10 to 15 years old and often have issues like faulty alternators or worn out brakes. SUVs like the Jeep Cherokee and Ford Escape are gaining popularity, especially models from 2008 to 2012, but many have engine oil leaks or suspension worn from age. We notice that newer models, particularly from 2015 onwards, tend to hold their value better if they’re well maintained, but older vehicles are often bought more for parts or repairs. Cars with accident histories or damaged frames are common too, especially from minor crashes or rust damage. Interestingly, older trucks and SUVs are trending down in desirability because they often need more costly repairs. If you own a vehicle that’s eight to fifteen years old, especially one with some wear, there’s a good chance it can still be valuable for scrap or parts even if it doesn’t run well anymore. People in Rochester tend to sell these vehicles when repairs get too expensive or when they’re ready for something newer.
