South Valley Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

We usually see a mix of older cars and trucks when we buy vehicles in South Valley. Pickups like Ford F-150s and Chevrolet Silverados from the early 2000s are popular because they hold their value and are often used for work or farming. Sedans, such as Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas from the late 1990s to mid-2000s, are common purchases too. Many of these cars have high mileage, sometimes over 200,000 miles, or have issues from wear and tear. It’s also typical to find vehicles with accident damage or mechanical problems. In recent months, we’ve noticed a rise in SUVs like Ford Explorers and Jeep Cherokees, especially models made around 2010. These are sought after because they’re versatile and good for families. On the other hand, older vans, like a 1995 Dodge Ram Van, are harder to sell, especially if they have problems with the engine or transmission. Vehicles in better shape or with newer features tend to stay on the road longer but are less common among our purchases.
