Providence Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In Providence, we see a mix of vehicles coming in daily. Many of the cars purchased are SUVs and trucks from the late 2000s or early 2010s, like Toyota RAV4s, Ford F-150s, or Honda Civics. These vehicles are often around 10 to 15 years old and may have high mileage, sometimes over 150,000 miles. A lot of these cars show signs of wear, such as rust, worn out tires, or engine trouble. Some come in with accident damage, bumped bumpers, crumpled doors, or broken headlights, especially after minor crashes. We’ve noticed that the demand for smaller cars, like older Honda Accords and Chevrolet Malibus, has gone down a little in recent years. Most buyers seem more interested in larger SUVs and trucks, which are still popular, especially models from the late 2000s to early 2010s. Fuel efficiency isn’t as big a concern for many shoppers anymore, so bigger vehicles hold more value. On the other hand, we rarely see newer models, cars less than five years old, coming in, mostly because these vehicles tend to be in better shape or still under warranty. Vehicles that run well, with low miles and no damage, stay on the road longer and are less likely to be sold to us.
