Appleton Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Appleton, we see a lot of older pickup trucks, especially Ford F-150s and Dodge Rams. Many of these trucks are between 10 to 20 years old and have high mileage, which means they frequently have engine or transmission problems. Despite this, they’re still quite popular because workers and farmers use them for hauling and heavy-duty work. On the other hand, smaller cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas are also common but tend to be newer, around 7 to 12 years old, and often come with issues like worn out brakes or rusted frames, especially in areas that see harsh winters. SUVs, like Nissan Pathfinders and Chevy Equinoxes, are gaining attention, particularly models from 2015 and earlier, but many have transmission or suspension issues after high miles. The most sought after vehicles are still those with good running engines and minimal rust, but many vehicles coming in need significant repairs. If your vehicle is old and has problems, selling it now could be worth your while since demand is steady, and prices for junk or fixer uppers remain reasonable.
