Palm Springs Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
In Palm Springs, we often buy a variety of vehicles, mainly focusing on older models that homeowners or small businesses want to remove. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Toyota Tacoma are common finds, especially ones built between 2005 and 2012. Many of these trucks have high mileage and show signs of rust or worn out brakes, but they still hold value for parts or scrap. Sedans such as the Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata are also popular, especially models from around 2010 to 2014. These usually have engine issues, transmission problems, or leaks, which make fixing them costly. Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in interest for SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Nissan Pathfinder, mostly older models from 2008 to 2012, often with worn tires or transmission slips. Conversely, older compact cars like the Chevrolet Aveo and Ford Fiesta are less sought after now. Many vehicles from the early 2000s are reaching the end of their useful life, making them more of a junk vehicle than a runner.
