Trenton Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Trenton, we see a lot of different types of vehicles come through our hands. Older models like the Honda Civic from 2008 and Ford F-150 trucks from around 2010 are still common. Many of these vehicles have high mileage, sometimes over 150,000 miles, and often show signs of regular wear and tear. Smaller cars like the Toyota Corolla from the early 2010s and Hyundai Elantras from the mid-2000s are popular choices for buyers here. We also get a good number of SUVs, such as Ford Explorers from 2012 and Jeep Cherokees from 2009, especially when people want more space. On the other hand, newer models, like the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu or Honda CR-Vs from 2015, tend to lose value quickly here, so they aren’t as common. Many vehicles we buy have issues caused by accidents, like dents and frame damage, especially older cars that have been in minor collisions. Some cars arrive with engine trouble or transmission issues, which makes restoring them difficult. Cars that run but have major problems often go to scrap or junkyards. We notice that trucks and larger SUVs are more in demand than small cars lately, but that can change fast. In general, older vehicles with a lot of miles or some damage are what we most often take in. Trends show that the vehicles most sought after are those still running but needing some fixes, while newer or less-used cars tend to stay on the road longer.
