Akron Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Akron, we often buy a mix of older and newer vehicles, but pickups and SUVs tend to be most popular. Trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford Ranger have seen increased interest, especially models from 2008 to 2014. These vehicles are sought after because they are useful even if they have some repairs needed. On the other hand, smaller cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Yaris are less common now, mainly because older models from around 2005-2010 often suffer from transmission issues or rust, making repairs costly. We also see a lot of Honda CR-Vs and Ford Escape SUVs, especially those from the late 2000s. Many of these vehicles are over 10 years old and can have problems with worn out suspension or leaking head gaskets. Interestingly, vehicles from about 2012 to 2016 are trending up, with buyers looking for affordable, reliable options. If a vehicle is over 15 years old or has major engine or transmission issues, it usually becomes junk for us rather than a regular resale.
