Columbia Insights
In Columbia, we see a lot of different vehicles come through our hands, but trucks and SUVs are especially popular. Pickups like the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger still sell well, especially those made between 2008 and 2014. Many of these have high mileage and often develop issues with the suspension or engine leaks. On the other side, older sedans like the Honda Accord from 2005 to 2010 remain common, but they tend to have problems with their automatic transmissions and rust spots, especially on the wheel arches. Lately, we’ve noticed that newer hybrid vehicles, such as the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, are becoming more sought after, though they can sometimes be difficult to flip if the batteries are worn out. Conversely, junk vehicles like 2003 Chevrolet Cavaliers or Ford Focuses without working engines or with frame damage are frequently bought for parts or scrap metal. While demand shifts for certain makes, we find that older models with mechanical problems, rust, or major body damage tend to move quickly into the junk pile, especially when they’re beyond repair.
