Norfolk Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

We see a variety of makes and models when buying used and junk vehicles in Norfolk. Pickup trucks like Ford F-150s and Chevrolet Silverados are always popular, especially older models from the early 2010s. Many of these trucks are over 10 years old and have high mileage, which can lead to engine or transmission issues. SUVs such as Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s are also common, but they tend to be newer, around 2015 to 2018, and sometimes have collision damage or suspension problems. Sedans like Honda Civics and Hyundai Elantras are frequently bought, especially those with over 150,000 miles or accidental damage. We notice a trend: vehicles from the late 2000s and early 2010s are declining because they’re reaching the end of their lifespan or have costly repairs. Meanwhile, trucks and SUVs from the same period still hold some value due to their durability and demand for parts. Older vehicles with engine trouble, leaks, or rust are often purchased for scrap or parts, while newer models with minor accident damage are more likely to be fixed up and resold. Despite that, they still serve a purpose as parts sources or recycling materials.
