Tumwater Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
Sometimes, we find vehicles that have been in minor accidents, maybe a dented fender or a broken windshield, but those can still be worth buying for parts or scrap. We’re noticing a slight decrease in newer SUVs, like Honda CR-Vs from around 2015, because people are holding on to them longer. Older SUVs, such as Ford Escape models from 2008 or 2009, are still popular since they’re affordable and still running. Vehicles with transmission problems or engine trouble are common, especially if they’re more than 10 years old.
