Missoula Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

Customers often bring in older pickup trucks like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados, usually around 10 to 15 years old. These trucks are popular because they can still be useful even if they have high miles or minor engine problems. SUVs, especially Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s from the late 2000s and early 2010s, also get a lot of attention. Many of these vehicles have slight dents, rust, or worn tires, but they still run well enough for some buyers. Smaller cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas tend to be in good shape and sought after but are also more likely to have engine issues or need new transmissions. Recently, we’ve seen a rise in interest for older hybrid models, but they often come with battery problems after a decade or more. On the other hand, older sedans from the early 2000s and late ‘90s, especially those with accident damage or blown head gaskets, tend to be less popular.
