Sumter Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Sumter, we see a variety of vehicles come through our process, with trucks, SUVs, and older sedans making up most of what we buy. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado are still popular choices, especially models from 2008 to 2014 that often have high mileage or minor frame rust from years of outdoor work. Many of these trucks have typical issues such as worn out brakes, leaky gaskets, or broken tailgates, but their ability to haul and tow keeps them in demand. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape from the early 2010s also show up regularly, usually with transmission troubles or engine oil leaks. Compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Ford Fiesta are common, especially those from the2010-2015 range, but many have experienced suspension wear or electrical issues that push owners to sell. Recently, we’re noticing a rise in interest for older models, especially those built around 2005 to 2010, often with significant bumper damage or severe rust. Meanwhile, newer vehicles, like late model Toyota Camrys and Nissan Altimas, tend to be bought for repair, though they usually have high mileage or front-end accident damage. The trend shows that older, more affordable vehicles with minor mechanical issues are still in demand, but trucks and larger SUVs tend to hold value better in our market. Understanding what issues are common can help owners decide whether fixing their vehicle or selling it makes the most sense.
