El Centro Insights
In El Centro, we regularly buy a variety of vehicles, from older cars to junkers needing a new life or scrap. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S-10 are still in demand, especially models from around 2005 to 2010 that have high mileage or rust issues. Many buyers look for these trucks because they’re used for work or hauling, even if they have dents or minor frame damage. Sedans such as the Hyundai Elantra and Honda Accord are also common. These cars often come in a range of ages, mostly from 2008 to 2012, and sometimes have engine or transmission problems due to wear and tear. Compact cars like the Mazda3 and Nissan Sentra seem to be trending downward; older models from 2006 to 2010 with high miles or accident damage often don’t bring much on the market anymore. On the other hand, older SUVs like the Ford Escape and Jeep Grand Cherokee are still bought in decent numbers, especially ones with a few dents or mechanical issues. For vehicles that have been in crashes or have extensive rust, we often see these heading for scrappers rather than resale. The market shifts based on the vehicle type and condition, but generally, older, damaged, or high mileage models tend to be sold for scrap or parts rather than to keep driving.
