Scranton Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Scranton, we often see a wide variety of vehicles come through, but certain types stand out more than others. Tendencies show that older sedans like the 2010 Honda Accord and 2012 Toyota Camry are still popular purchases, though many have high mileage or minor engine issues. Pickup trucks, especially the Ford F-150s from 2015 and 2017, remain in demand, but models showing signs of rust or accident damage are commonly bought for parts or scrap. Compact cars like Hyundai Elantras and Kia Souls from 2014 to 2016 are frequently resold, often due to transmission problems or worn out suspension. Interestingly, the market has seen a slight decline in the number of older SUVs, like the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, which often have electrical issues or leaking seals. Vehicles with significant accident damage, such as crumpled front ends or frame issues, tend to bring lower offers, but they still have value for parts or recycling. The local market remains consistent, with most purchases driven by vehicle condition rather than age alone.
