Portsmouth Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

We see a mix of cars that people are trying to sell in Portsmouth, and the types change as seasons go by. Right now, older trucks like Ford F-150s from the early 2000s are still popular because they’re tough and great for work or hauling. However, newer small SUVs like Honda CR-Vs from 2010 to 2015 are gaining in popularity because they’re good for families and get decent gas mileage. We also buy a lot of sedan models such as Toyota Camrys from 2005 to 2010, especially those with high mileage or mechanical issues. Many of these cars have problems like blown head gaskets, transmission troubles, or rust from years of wear. We see quite a few accidents, too, especially with older vehicles that have crash damage or broken airbags. A lot of these vehicles are around 10 to 15 years old and no longer run well due to age or damage. Interestingly, we aren’t seeing much interest in larger SUVs or luxury cars anymore, as they tend to be more expensive to repair or tow away. Small compact cars like Chevrolet Cavaliers from the early 2000s still come in, often with issues like dents or engine trouble caused by neglected maintenance. They are simple, mostly running or fixable, and often just need to be recycled or traded in for parts.
