Local Insights

In Oceanside, we often see a mix of older and newer vehicles coming in, with trucks and SUVs being the most common. Many buyers bring in models like the Ford Escape, Jeep Cherokee, and Toyota RAV4, usually between 8 and 15 years old. These vehicles often have issues like worn out suspensions, leaking gaskets, or tired batteries. We also get a lot of compact cars like the Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Malibu, mostly about 10 to 12 years old, with problems such as transmission slipping or electrical faults. Recently, we’ve noticed a slight drop in demand for older sedans, especially those over 15 years, because they need lots of repairs and their parts become harder to find. On the rise are newer trucks, like the Nissan Frontier and Dodge Ram, often just 5 to 8 years old. These tend to be in better shape and are sought after for repairs or resale. Many of the cars coming in have high mileage and engine wear, making repairs costly compared to their value.
