Lake Forest Insights
In Lake Forest, we see a wide range of vehicles coming through our doors. Trucks like the Dodge Ram and Toyota Tacoma are popular choices, especially with older models from 2005 to 2012. Many of these trucks have high mileage, over 200,000 miles, and often show wear on the suspensions or rust issues, especially in areas with harsh winters. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima are also common, particularly from the late 2000s to early 2010s. These cars tend to have problems with worn out transmissions and engine leaks that can cost more to repair than the car is worth. SUVs like the Ford Escape and Hyundai Santa Fe are gaining interest, mainly because they’re spacious and practical. These tend to be from the early 2010s and sometimes need new tires or brake repairs. Interestingly, older models like the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus from around 2008 to 2010 are less in demand, partly because they often have electrical problems or engine issues that make them less appealing. We’ve noticed that newer vehicles, like a 2014 Mazda CX-5, are harder to find in our market, as owners tend to keep them longer. Over the past year, most vehicles have held about the same value, with only slight drops of around 3%. It looks like prices will stay steady in the near future, so whether you’re thinking of selling a used or junk vehicle, now’s a good time to do it.

Selling my old minivan was not something I was looking forward to. It had its fair share of issues, but it was time to let it go. I called this company, and they gave me an offer right away.
