Lake Elsinore Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Lake Elsinore, we often see a mix of small cars, trucks, and even old SUVs coming in for cash. Vehicles like Honda Civics from the early 2000s are common. People bring in cars that have over 150,000 miles on them or vehicles that have been in minor accidents. Compact cars usually sell well because they’re affordable to fix or part out. We’ve noticed that trucks, especially Ford F-150s from around 2010, are becoming more popular since they’re useful for work and outdoor activities. However, older minivans like the Dodge Grand Caravans from the late 2000s tend to wear out fast and often get scrapped. Many vehicles have engine issues or rust problems, especially models that are over 15 years old. Commonly, we purchase vehicles with transmission troubles, years of neglect, or collision damage that makes them unfit to drive. The demand for newer models like the Chevrolet Cruze from the mid-2010s or Toyota Corollas from the early 2010s is climbing because those cars tend to still run decently even if they’re not perfect.
