National City Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In National City, we see a lot of different kinds of vehicles being bought and sold. Many of the cars we purchase are older models, often around 10 to 15 years old. For example, Ford F-150 pickups from 2008 to 2012 are common, especially ones with high mileage or some accident damage. People also bring in smaller cars like Honda Civics from the early 2010s or Toyota Corollas from the same period. These smaller cars are popular because they are easy to fix and keep running. However, many of the vehicles we see have issues such as worn out engines, broken transmissions, or rusted frames, especially for older vehicles. Sometimes, cars have been in accidents, and their damage can be serious enough that fixing them no longer makes sense. Trucks and SUVs, like Chevrolet Silverados and Jeep Cherokees from around 2005 to 2010, are often sought after, especially when they have good engines but need body repairs. Interestingly, newer vehicles, say from 2015 onward, are less common in our purchases, mainly because owners tend to keep those cars longer. The trend shows that older models, especially from the late 2000s and early 2010s, are still in high demand for parts or quick resale. But newer, low-mileage cars are tougher to find here, as people usually hold onto them longer.
