Oakland Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Oakland, we often see a wide variety of vehicles come through, but some types are more common than others. Many people bring in older trucks like Ford F-150s from the early 2000s or Chevrolet Silverados from the late 1990s. These trucks tend to be popular because they’re used for work, and some have high mileage or wear and tear. Sedans are also common, especially Honda Civics from the mid-2000s or Toyota Camrys from around 2010. These vehicles are often sought after for their reliability, even after many years of use. On the other hand, newer SUVs like Ford Explorers or Honda CR-Vs from recent years are starting to be more popular, especially since they’re bigger and safer. Vehicles with accident damage or engine problems still make up a large part of what we buy, especially older models with rust or broken parts. Sometimes, engines will seize, or cars won’t start because of electrical issues. We notice that trucks and larger vehicles tend to stay in use longer, but when they do become junk, they often have significant damage. Trends change, but trucks and durable SUVs still lead the pack for vehicles we most frequently purchase in Oakland.
