Monterey Insights

In Monterey, we often buy a mix of older and damaged vehicles from local owners. Pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and Toyota Tacoma are popular, especially those around 10 to 15 years old. Many of these trucks have high mileage and sometimes engine issues or rust from years of use. Sedans such as the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata are also common, but a good number of them have transmission problems or collision damage from accidents. Compact cars like the Ford Fiesta and Nissan Sentra are frequently seen, often with mechanical wear or worn out brakes. We’ve also purchased several SUVs, including the Jeep Cherokee and Mazda CX-5, many of which have frame damage or extensive body rust. Over the past year, vehicles with accident damage, especially those with airbags deployed or major dents, have become more common. Trend-wise, the demand for older trucks remains steady, while older sedans with costly engine repairs are less sought after. Vehicles around 8 to 12 years old, averaging 150,000 miles, tend to be the most affordable to buy, but they often need repairs to make them roadworthy again.
