Des Moines Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
We buy a variety of used and junk vehicles from the local area. Small sedans like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas are still popular, especially models from around 2010 to 2015. Many of these cars have high mileage, with over 150,000 miles, and sometimes they show signs of wear like rust, worn out brakes, or engine problems. Older trucks, such as Ford F-150s from 2005 to 2010, also make up a good part of what we see. These trucks are often used for work, so they can have damage from heavy loads or rough driving, including dents, broken parts, or even frame issues. On the other hand, newer SUVs like Honda CR-Vs or Ford Escape from 2016 to 2019 are gaining popularity, but many of them come in with accident damage or high mileage issues. We notice that small hatchbacks, like Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent from 2012 to 2016, are less common now because people prefer bigger vehicles. Older vehicles tend to break down more often, especially if they haven’t been maintained well. Some cars come in with engine or transmission trouble. Junk vehicles with severe rust, frame damage, or missing parts are also common, especially from accidents or abandonment.
