Corpus Christi Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Corpus Christi, we buy a variety of vehicles, but certain types are more common than others. Pickup trucks, especially older Ford F-150s and Chevrolet Silverados, remain popular because many folks use them for work or hauling. These trucks are usually between 10 and 20 years old, and their most common problems include rusted frames and worn out suspensions. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are also frequently seen, with many around 8 to 15 years old. Buyers look for these models because they’re reliable, but common issues include engine oil leaks or minor collision damage from fender benders. Compact cars, such as Hyundai Elantras and Kia Fortes, make up a large share of our purchases, especially vehicles from 2009 to 2013. Many have high miles and sometimes need repairs on the transmission or worn brake systems. Interestingly, we’ve noticed that newer models like the Mazda 3 from 2015 are trending up, while older models are declining in value. The most sought after vehicles tend to be those that still run well and have minor cosmetic damage, while cars with heavy accident damage or major engine issues are less desirable. Electric and hybrid vehicles like the Prius are gaining attention too, but many of these cars are a bit newer and are usually in better shape.
