El Monte Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In El Monte, we see many different types of vehicles come through, but some are more common than others. Older trucks like the Ford F-150 from the early 2000s are still popular because they’re sturdy and can handle rough work. People often sell these trucks when they get too many miles or if they have engine problems. SUVs such as the Honda CR-V from around 2010 are also frequently bought, especially if they have last been driven regularly. These vehicles are mainly used for family trips or daily errands. On the other hand, we notice a decline in small economy cars like the 2005 Chevy Aveo, which often have rust or outbreak problems. Many of these older cars come with issues like blown head gaskets or transmission troubles. Surprisingly, we see more recent models, like a 2015 Toyota Corolla, which may have been in minor accidents or have some exterior damage. We regularly see older trucks, mid-sized SUVs, and some sedans, especially those built between 2005 and 2015. Many vehicles arrive with worn out parts, and some need extensive repairs, but they are still valuable for parts or scrap. The vehicle market in El Monte is always changing, but these are the types and conditions of vehicles we most often buy.
