Cornelius Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Cornelius, we often see a wide range of vehicles come in, from older sedans to newer trucks. Compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte are common, especially models from 2010 to 2015. These cars usually have high mileage, about 100,000 to 150,000 miles, and sometimes have issues like worn out brakes or outdated electronics. Pickup trucks such as the Ram 1500 and Nissan Titan are also popular. Many of these trucks are from the late 2000s or early 2010s and sometimes have engine or transmission problems after high miles. SUVs like the Ford Escape or Hyundai Santa Fe are a steady part of our market, with many used models from 2008 to 2013. These often have suspension wear or sometimes need new shocks and struts. Interestingly, we’re seeing more demand for newer models, especially those made after 2015, which generally have fewer repairs needed. Cars like the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord from the mid-2010s continue to be sought after, even as older models become less popular. On the other hand, very old vehicles, especially those over 15 years, tend to have more serious issues like rust or bad timing belts that make them less attractive. Many owners are still holding onto their vehicles longer, and we see steady demand for reliable, mid-age vehicles that don’t need much fixing. If you’re thinking of selling a used or junk vehicle, now’s a good time, as prices haven’t dropped much and are expected to stay stable for a while.
