Berkeley Insights
In Berkeley, we notice certain vehicles are more common when people sell them for quick cash. Older models like the 2008 Ford F-150 trucks and 2010 Honda Civics are still popular choices, especially those with high miles, often over 150,000. Many of these pickups and sedans have engine or transmission issues from wear and tear. For example, some Ford F-150s from the late 2000s face problems like rough shifting or leaks, while Honda Civics from the same era can have issues with their alternators or worn out shocks. Meanwhile, newer used vehicles, such as the 2015 Toyota RAV4 or 2016 Chevrolet Silverado, are less commonly bought secondhand, partly because their prices are higher and they tend to be in better shape. But there’s a growing demand for older SUVs with multiple miles because they are easier to sell quickly. On the flip side, some vehicles are trending downward, like compact cars such as the 2012 Hyundai Elantra, which often have engine problems after reaching 130,000 miles. For junk or damaged cars, trucks from 2005 to 2010 with frame rust or extensive body damage are commonly purchased for parts or scrap. The market here favors older, more affordable cars and trucks, especially ones with known issues or limited remaining life.
