Novato Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Novato, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming through, but certain types tend to be more common. Older trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado are still popular as work vehicles, even though many have high mileage or basic wear. We also buy a good number of sedans, especially Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords, usually around 10-15 years old. These cars often have issues like worn out suspensions or failing alternators, and some have minor accident damage or rust spots, especially in the wheel wells. Popular SUVs such as Ford Explorers and Honda Pilots are also sought after, but we notice that models built before 2013 are starting to decline in value because parts become harder to find and repairs get costly. Interestingly, older compact cars like the Nissan Sentra or Chevrolet Sonic tend to be less popular now, as newer models offer better fuel efficiency and reliability. We’re seeing a slight rise in demand for hybrid vehicles, especially Toyota Priuses from the late 2000s, but those with high mileage or battery issues tend to sell cheaply. The local market trends show that trucks and dependable sedans still hold value, but better-maintained or newer models generally fetch higher prices.
