Compton Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Compton, we see a lot of older vehicles being brought in, especially trucks and SUVs. Pickup trucks like the Ford F-250 and Ram 1500 from the late 2000s and early 2010s are common. Many of these have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and sometimes have mechanical problems like worn out suspensions or leaking engines. We also frequently buy smaller SUVs such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, mainly from the early 2010s. These tend to have issues like faulty transmissions or radiator problems. On the other hand, sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu and Hyundai Sonata from the same period are still popular. However, many of these cars show signs of local wear and tear, like rust along the wheel wells or cosmetic damage from minor accidents. Recently, older minivans like the Dodge Grand Caravan are trending down since families tend to replace them with newer models or SUVs. Repairs on these vans often include brake issues or engine oil leaks, which can be costly relative to their value. In contrast, junk vehicles or cars with major accident damage are frequently bought as-is, especially if they’re missing parts or have frame damage. The types of vehicles we see reflect local needs, hard-working trucks, family SUVs, and vehicles showing the wear from years of use on local roads.
