Brookings Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Brookings, the types of vehicles we often purchase include a mix of older trucks, sedans, and SUVs. Many of these vehicles are around 10 to 15 years old, with high mileage and some mechanical issues. Popular models like the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Tahoe tend to be in demand, especially those with hauling or family-oriented features. Pickup trucks, such as the Ram 1500 or Nissan Frontier, are also common, as they hold their value well and see steady interest. On the other hand, smaller economy cars like the Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio are less sought after unless they are very cheap to repair. We’ve noticed that vehicles from the early 2000s with rusted frames or worn out engines are frequently bought for parts or scrap, which is typical in Brookings’s climate. Recently, older Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas have been trending down in value because of their age and wear and tear. Still, some models like the Ford F-250 or Jeep Grand Cherokee stay popular among buyers needing tough or larger vehicles.
