Indio Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In Indio, we see a wide range of vehicles that people want to sell. Popular choices include older Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, usually between 10 and 15 years old. Many of these cars come with high mileage and sometimes have small problems like worn out brakes or leaky valves. We also get a lot of trucks, especially late model Ford F-150s and Dodge Rams, which tend to be between 8 and 12 years old. These vehicles are often bought for work or hauling, but they sometimes suffer from issues like rust or worn suspension parts. SUV sales have been steady, with models like Nissan Rogues and Hyundai Santa Fe showing up regularly. These SUVs are generally about 7 to 10 years old, and many have frame damage or engine problems due to neglect or prior accidents. Interestingly, we’re seeing fewer older sedans like the Buick LeSabre or Chevy Malibu being bought lately, possibly because many drivers have moved on to SUVs and trucks. The demand for junk vehicles remains high, especially for cars severely damaged from accidents or that no longer run. Although the prices for certain makes and models fluctuate, vehicles suffering from transmission slips, engine trouble, or extensive accident damage are still in high demand for parts or scrap.
