Charlotte Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

We often buy all kinds of vehicles in Charlotte, from older cars to trucks and SUVs. Many of the vehicles we see are between 10 and 20 years old, and some are even older. For example, we get a lot of Honda Civics from the mid-2000s and Ford Rangers from the early 2000s. Some vehicles have high miles or engine trouble, while others have body damage from accidents or rust. Lately, we’ve noticed more recent models like 2010-2015 Toyota Tacomas and Honda CR-Vs show up. Owners sometimes sell these because of mechanical issues or because they need costly repairs. We also see older vehicles with transmission problems or brakes that need fixing. On the other hand, vehicles that sit in junk yards or get abandoned tend to be from the early 2000s or even late ’90s, like Chevy Cavaliers or Dodge Neon hatchbacks. Trends show that smaller cars, especially hatchbacks and compact sedans, are less common now, while trucks and SUVs are in higher demand. Vehicles with accident damage or frame issues are common, especially those that have been through crashes or floods. People usually sell vehicles that no longer run well or are too costly to fix, and many of these are quite worn out with lots of miles. Our experience shows that regardless of the age, many vehicles have typical problems linked to their use and age, and we buy them all to recycle or resell parts.
