Livingston Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

We often buy a mix of vehicles from people in Livingston, mostly used cars and some old junkers. More recently, we see a rise in pickups like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados, these trucks are popular with folks who need to haul things around or work outdoors. Older models from the early 2010s, especially those 10-12 years old, are common finds. Many of these trucks have seen plenty of wear and tear, such as dents, rust, or engine trouble, especially if they’ve been used for rough jobs. Smaller cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas also show up quite a bit. These are often around 8-12 years old and sometimes need repairs because of oil leaks, broken airbags, or transmission issues. Interestingly, we’ve noticed a decline in the purchase of older sedans from the early 2000s, these cars usually have higher mileage and more frequent repair needs. We also buy a good number of junk vehicles, especially those with accident damage or those that no longer run. Many have been in collisions or have frame damage, making them difficult to fix. We see a steady demand for trucks and reliable compact cars, while really old or heavily damaged vehicles are often just sold for scrap.
