Sterling Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Sterling, we see a lot of mid-2000s to early 2010s SUVs and trucks coming in. Vehicles like the Ford Escape, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Honda Pilot are common, especially models around 10 to 15 years old. Many of these tend to have engine wear or transmission issues after years of use. On the passenger car side, older sedans such as Toyota Camrys and Honda Civics are still popular. They’re often around 12 to 17 years old when we buy them, and common problems include worn out suspensions or rust, especially in models from the early 2000s. Interestingly, smaller trucks like the Nissan Frontier and Dodge Dakota are gaining more attention lately, likely because they’re affordable and good for hauling smaller loads. While some older vehicles tend to drop in value as they age, newer models from the last five years, like Hyundai Elantras or Kia Souls, tend to hold steady or even become more sought after, especially if they’re in decent shape. Over the past few months, we’ve noticed a sharp rise in demand for small crossovers that are still running well, while older, heavily worn SUVs tend to sit longer before selling. The vehicles bought most often are those that are still drivable despite minor issues, like a rusted frame or worn brakes, since repairing these cars still makes sense for many owners.
