Petaluma Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Petaluma, we’ve noticed a mix of vehicles coming in, with pickup trucks and SUVs being the most common. Ford F-150s from the 2010s and Chevrolet Silverados are often seen, mainly around 10 to 15 years old. These trucks tend to have issues like rust on the beds and suspension problems, especially if they’ve been used for work. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are also popular, usually between 2008 and 2015 models. Many of these have high mileage and might have worn out brakes or engine leaks. Compact cars like the Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra are still sought after, though older ones, especially from the late 2000s, can have problems like transmission wear or electrical faults. Interestingly, newer models from the past five years tend to hold value better and are less likely to need repairs. If you’re selling an older car or truck, it’s a good time to get a fair offer since these vehicles continue to be in demand, even as some models face issues common to their age.
