Harlingen Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In our experience, trucks and SUVs tend to sell quickly in Harlingen. Older models like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado from the early 2010s are common in our lot. People often bring in these trucks because they’re reliable but sometimes have engine problems or rust from years of use. Larger SUVs, like the Honda Pilot or Ford Escape from around 2015, are also popular. They usually have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and sometimes need new brakes or suspension work. On the other hand, smaller cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla from the late 2000s or early 2010s are still common buyers bring in. Some of these vehicles have minor accident damage or are missing parts due to wear and tear. We’re noticing a slight increase in interest for hybrid models like the Toyota Prius, especially among owners looking to get rid of older, less fuel-efficient cars. Vehicles with more than 200,000 miles are often at the end of their life, with many requiring extensive repairs or having engine or transmission issues. Junk cars are usually older sedans, such as Nissan Altimas or Chevrolet Malibu from the early 2000s, often suffering from frame rust or broken components. The market favors vehicles that are still operating, even if they need some fixes or are no longer driveable, making them valuable to us for parts or rebuilding.
