Irvine Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Irvine, we notice certain vehicles tend to turn up more often when we buy used or junk cars. Pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado are common since they’re still popular for work and hauling. Many of these trucks are around 10 to 15 years old, and they often have issues with rust, worn out brakes, or engine problems. Sedans such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry are also frequently bought, especially models from the late 2000s and early 2010s. These cars are pretty reliable but can have transmission trouble or electrical faults as they age. On the other hand, we’ve seen a drop in demand for older SUVs like the Ford Escape and Hyundai Santa Fe, mainly because they tend to have engine leaks or suspension wear. Lately, newer cars like Nissan Altimas from 2015 to 2018 are trending up because owners are getting rid of them for newer models. Many cars show age related issues like worn timing belts, failed sensors, and rust damage, which can make repairs costly. When considering selling, it’s helpful to understand what’s popular and what tends to need more work.
