Wilkes-Barre Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Wilkes-Barre, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming through our doors, but certain types seem to be more common lately. Pickup trucks, especially older Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados from around 2005 to 2012, are frequently bought from owners looking to get quick cash for vehicles no longer working well. Many of these trucks have rust or engine issues after years of hard use. Compact sedans like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas are also common, usually around 10 to 15 years old. Most of these cars have high mileage and often need new transmissions or brake repairs, making them less valuable for resale. We’re noticing a shift in demand, a few years ago, SUVs like the Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento were highly sought after, but lately, they aren’t moving as fast. Many of these SUVs that do come in are from earlier models with accident damage or worn out suspension parts. Older SUVs that have been through rough conditions tend to be totaled or sold for scrap. Meanwhile, newer small cars like Mazda 3s or Ford Focuses from 2016 or newer are gaining interest, especially from owners wanting to upgrade or get rid of malfunctioning electronics or transmission failures. It’s clear that age, condition, and damage play big roles in what we purchase most often in Wilkes-Barre.
