Palm Desert Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Palm Desert, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming in from the local area. Older cars like 2008 Honda Civics and Ford F-150 trucks are still common, but we’re noticing fewer of them compared to a few years ago. Instead, we’re getting more recent models like 2015 Chevrolet Equinoxes and Nissan Sentras, which people seem to be trading in or selling more often. Many of these vehicles have high mileage or show signs of wear from daily use. For example, a lot of cars have oil leaks, worn brake pads, or minor engine issues. Some arrive with accident damage, like dents or smashed bumpers, often from minor collisions on busy roads. SUVs have grown in popularity, especially models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, which people use for family trips and daily errands. On the other hand, older pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado are still common, but their numbers are dropping as owners update to newer models. We also see a mix of junk cars that are too damaged to fix, often from crashes or rust, which nobody wants to keep running. It’s not unusual to see vehicles between 10 and 15 years old, especially those that have been heavily used or have minor mechanical problems.
