Rome Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Rome, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming through, but pickup trucks and SUVs are definitely the most common. Vehicles like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram 1500 are often the top choices for owners needing work trucks or family rides. Many of these trucks are around 10 to 15 years old and have high miles, sometimes over 200,000, that take a toll on their engines and transmissions. We also frequently buy older sedans like Honda Civics from the mid-2000s, which often have issues with worn out suspensions or rust, especially in areas with harsh winters. Cars that have been in minor accidents tend to be more common lately, with frame damage or airbag deployment making repairs costly. Interestingly, lately, we’ve noticed a slight increase in older SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Escape, which are popular for their size and utility but often have oil leaks or clutch problems as they age. Sometimes, trucks or SUVs with significant body damage from accidents still hold value, especially if the engine is solid. Trends show a slight decline in older sedans, while utility vehicles tend to stay steady or go up, especially those still in good condition or with newer parts. Buyers tend to look for vehicles that can still run reliably, even if they need a few repairs, making them good options for resale or scrap.
