Bellingham Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Bellingham, certain vehicle types tend to come and go more often. We’ve seen a lot of older trucks, like the Dodge Ram 1500 from 2008 to 2012, showing up on the lot. Many of these trucks have high mileage or some form of accident damage, but they still attract buyers looking for affordable work vehicles. Compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte are also common, especially models from around 2010 to 2015. These often have issues with worn transmissions, broken suspensions, or electrical problems, which can make repairs costly compared to the vehicle’s value. Interestingly, SUVs like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V are trending down a bit, with fewer being purchased lately. When we find SUVs, it’s often because they’re over ten years old, have high miles, or have suffered flood or rear-end damage. On the other hand, newer models from 2018 or 2019, particularly trucks and pickups, are more sought after now, especially ones in good condition with minimal accident history. Hybrid cars, such as the Toyota Prius from 2012 to 2016, have seen steady demand, mostly because of their fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
