Wauwatosa Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

Many of the vehicles we buy in Wauwatosa are older cars that have seen better days. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Silverado are still popular, especially among those needing work trucks. However, trucks from about 10 to 15 years old often come with issues like rusted frames, broken transmissions, or leaking injectors. Sedans such as Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, especially models from 2008 to 2012, are common finds. They tend to have high mileage and sometimes face problems with worn out timing chains or failing head gaskets. SUVs like the Kia Sorento or Mazda CX-7 are also frequently purchased, usually from the late 2000s or early 2010s. These vehicles sometimes suffer from drivetrain issues or suspension wear. Interestingly, more people are now looking to scrap older, high mileage vehicles rather than fix them, especially when repairs cost more than the car’s worth. Over the past year, we’ve noticed a slight decline in prices for these types of vehicles, especially for those with significant body damage or engine trouble. Still, simple repairs like replacing a battery or brakes can make a used vehicle more appealing to buyers. Larger trucks and newer models, like a 2015 Hyundai Tucson or a 2016 Ram 1500, tend to hold their value better, but demand for junk or damaged vehicles remains steady.
