Downey Insights
In Downey, we often see a mix of vehicles that reflect what people are driving around town. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S-10 are popular choices, especially since they’re good for work and hauling. Most of these trucks are between 10 and 15 years old, and common problems include rusty frames, worn out brakes, or engines that don’t run as smoothly as they used to. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry also show up frequently. Many of these cars are about 8 to 12 years old, with issues like transmission slipping or failing spark plugs. We’re noticing more older SUVs like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V coming in, often with high mileage, some needing repairs on the suspension or cooling systems. Smaller cars like the Nissan Sentra and Hyundai Elantra are still in demand, but their value drops quickly after 10 years, especially if they’ve got body rust or engine trouble. Recently, we’ve seen an interest in newer models like the Jeep Cherokee, which tend to hold their value a bit longer, though they sometimes face issues with electrical systems. As for trends, older compact cars are starting to decline in popularity, while trucks and SUVs remain steady, thanks to their versatility and demand. If your vehicle fits into these categories, it might be worth considering a sale now, before repairs outweigh the value.
