Chattanooga Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
We buy a variety of vehicles in Chattanooga, especially older trucks and cars that have seen better days. Pickup trucks like Ford F-150s from the early 2000s and Chevrolet Silverados are common. We also see a lot of smaller cars, such as Honda Civics from the late 1990s and early 2000s, which are popular for their low cost and good gas mileage. Many of these older vehicles are around 15 to 20 years old and may have high mileage. Sometimes they come in with engine issues or transmission problems, especially if they have been used for a lot of tough work or long drives. We also get cars that have been in accidents, often with front-end or rear damage. Junk vehicles like these are still worth purchasing as parts or scrap metal. Recently, we’re seeing a slight decrease in the purchase of older sedans with high mileage, but demand for trucks and SUVs, especially those from the mid-2000s, continues to grow.
