Salem Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In Salem, we often see a lot of older pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-250 coming in for cash. Many of these trucks are around 10 to 15 years old and have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles. Owners tend to bring in trucks that have rust, leaking gaskets, or transmission issues. Interestingly, diesel models like the Ram 2500 with Cummins engines are especially popular. On the other hand, sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte are less common now than a few years ago. When we do get these cars, they usually have wear and tear , broken AC units, worn out brakes, or minor body damage from accidents. We’ve also noticed that SUVs like the Jeep Cherokee and Nissan Rogue are holding steady in demand, especially the earlier models from 2010 to 2014. They tend to have issues like oil leaks or check engine lights, but people still want them because they’re affordable to fix.
