Carson City Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Carson City, we see a lot of older vehicles coming through, especially trucks and sedans. Right now, pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 are still popular, especially models from 2010 to 2015. Many of these trucks have high mileage and may have engine or transmission wear, but owners often hold onto them because they’re sturdy for work or hauling. Compact cars such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla tend to be in the mix, usually between 2008 and 2013, and many have issues with worn out brakes, noisy exhaust systems, or electrical problems. Interestingly, older SUVs like the Chevrolet Equinox or Honda CR-V from around 2007 to 2012 are also common, though they often come with transmission troubles or worn out suspensions. Trends are shifting away from older, high mileage vehicles toward newer models, especially those from the last five years like the Ford Escape or Nissan Rogue. We’ve noticed a dip in demand for junk vehicles with serious frame rust or dead engines, but well maintained vehicles with minor issues are still sought after. If your vehicle is around 10 to 15 years old with typical wear and tear, chances are we can make a fair offer, especially if it’s still running or just needs simple repairs.
