Kansas City Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Kansas City, we often buy a variety of used and junk vehicles, but trucks and SUVs tend to be the most common. Older models like the Ford Ranger from the early 2000s and Chevrolet Silverado pickups from the mid-2010s are popular, especially when they have high mileage or body damage. Many of these trucks have engine issues or rust from years of use, and some have been involved in minor accidents. Compact cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are also frequently bought, especially models from around 2010 to 2015. These small cars are often sold because they have high wear and tear on parts like transmissions or suspensions. Over the past year, we’ve seen a slight increase in interest for hybrid vehicles like the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Honda Insight, though older gas powered sedans still dominate the market. It’s worth noting that most vehicles are around 10 to 15 years old and often need repairs or have accident damage that makes them less valuable to repair.
