Reno Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Reno, we see all types of vehicles come through our doors. Many folks sell us older cars like a 2008 Ford F-150 or a 2012 Honda Civic, often because they no longer run well or need too many fixes. Trucks, especially models like the Chevy Silverado and Dodge Ram, remain popular because people still use them for work or heavy hauling. On the other hand, compact cars like Toyota Corollas and Hyundai Elantras are starting to decline in number, since newer models are more energy-efficient and safer. Many vehicles we buy are around 10 to 15 years old and might have engine or transmission problems, rust, or damage from minor accidents. Some have been sitting outside for years, with tires flat or batteries dead. We also see a good number of junked SUVs, like a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Ford Escape, which often have frame rust or costly engine issues. The trend shows that older, heavily used vehicles tend to be less desirable unless they are cheap to fix, while newer or moderately used trucks tend to be more in demand. People are always trying to get rid of cars that have reached the end of their life, and we help by giving cash for those vehicles.
