Modesto Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Modesto, we see a wide variety of vehicles being sold every day. Older pickup trucks from the early 2000s, like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados, are still popular because many people use them for work or farming. However, lately, we notice fewer of these trucks are being bought. Instead, more folks are bringing in small SUVs and crossovers, such as Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s made around 2015 to 2018, they’re in good shape, but sometimes have issues with their engines or transmissions. We also get a lot of sedans, mostly from around 2010 to 2015, including Honda Civics and Ford Focuses. Many of these cars are damaged from minor accidents or have high mileage, which can make fixing them expensive. On the other hand, older vans and minivans, like Dodge Grand Caravans built in the early 2000s, are still common, especially ones with engine rust or broken doors. Recently, we’ve noticed less interest in junk vehicles that are heavily damaged or have blown engines, but there’s still demand for cars that just need some repairs. Vehicles with accident damage, like bent frames or crumpled bumpers, are frequently bought for parts or scrap metal. This mix reflects how local needs and vehicle conditions change over time in Modesto.
