Cerritos Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Cerritos, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming through, but certain trends stand out. Older pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado from the early 2000s are still in demand, especially those with high mileage and some mechanical wear. Many of these trucks have rust issues or tired engines, but their parts are often useful for repairs. Smaller cars, such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla from around 2010 to 2015, are among the most common vehicles we buy. These cars tend to have worn out transmissions, noisy brakes, or worn suspension parts, especially if they’ve racked up over 150,000 miles. Despite these problems, their popularity remains steady because they’re affordable and easy to fix. Recently, we’ve noticed a slight drop in the amount of junked SUVs like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V from the mid-2000s. Many of these are totaled due to frame rust or engine failure. Vehicles from recent years, like a 2018 Nissan Sentra or Mazda 3, often have cosmetic issues or minor electrical glitches but still hold some value. The types we buy most often are those with simple, fixable problems, as resale or salvage value still makes sense for us. The market in Cerritos is pretty stable, with only small shifts in prices month to month, so sellers should be aware that values stay consistent for now.
