Altoona Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Altoona, we see a lot of mid-2000s SUVs like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V being sold. These older models are popular because they’re affordable and still run well if maintained, but many have engine or transmission issues by this age. Compact sedans, such as the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra from the late 2000s and early 2010s, are also common purchases. These cars often have worn out suspensions or electrical problems that make repairs costly, so many owners choose to sell instead. Pickup trucks, especially Chevy Silverados and Dodge Rams from the early 2010s, are still in demand, though some have rusted frames or failing fuel systems. We’ve noticed a recent rise in interest for newer models like the Kia Sportage and Nissan Rogue from around 2015, which tend to be in better shape. Older vehicles that have seen extensive use, such as the Ford Focus or Mazda3, frequently face issues with their clutches, timing belts, or worn out brakes. The market seems stable right now, but older vehicles with major mechanical problems tend to lose value quickly.
