Chico Insights
In Chico, we often see a mix of vehicles coming in, with pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado being especially common. These trucks tend to be 10 to 15 years old, and many have high mileage, sometimes over 200,000 miles. Common issues include worn out brakes, rusted frames, or faulty transmissions. Despite those problems, they’re still sought after because they’re useful for work or hauling. Compact cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla also make up a good part of what we buy. Many of these are about 8 to 12 years old, with some showing signs of wear on the suspension or minor engine troubles. Some Civics have transmission problems after 150,000 miles, which can be costly to fix. Larger SUVs like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape are also popular, especially those from the mid-2000s to early 2010s. These vehicles often have issues with their radiators or worn out brakes, but they’re still wanted because they’re reliable for family or outdoor trips. Lately, we’ve noticed fewer junk vehicles from luxury brands like BMW or Audi, as owners are holding onto those longer. Whether they run or not, trucks with rust or damaged bodies are common but still in demand. For sellers, understanding the common issues on these vehicles can help decide when it’s better to sell rather than repair.
