Best-selling vehicles from 10 to 20 years ago dominate junkyard inventory. Ford F-150s, Chevrolet Silverados, Toyota Camrys, and Honda Accords are the most commonly junked cars because millions were sold and many have now reached end-of-life.
Most frequently junked vehicles:
- Ford F-Series (F-150, F-250)
- Chevrolet Silverado
- Toyota Camry
- Honda Accord
- Honda Civic
- Toyota Corolla
- Nissan Altima
- Chevrolet Impala
- Ford Explorer
- Dodge Ram
These vehicles appear frequently because they were popular when new. Sales volume drives junkyard volume. The Ford F-150 has been America’s best-selling vehicle for over 40 years, so naturally more end up scrapped.
High junkyard volume benefits owners of these vehicles. Parts are always in demand, so buyers pay competitive prices. Salvage yards actively seek inventory they know will sell quickly.
If you own one of these common vehicles, you’ll likely receive strong offers from multiple buyers. Learn what junk cars are in demand to understand current market preferences.
