Placerville Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Placerville, we mostly buy a mix of older cars and some junk vehicles. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S10 are quite common, especially those made between 2000 and 2010. Many of these trucks have high mileage or rust issues, which makes them less appealing to buyers but perfect for our cash-for-vehicles service. Sedans such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry are also popular purchases, often from the early 2000s. These tend to have engine problems or transmission wear after about 150,000 miles. We’re seeing a rise in newer models like the Hyundai Elantra and Mazda 3, especially ones with minor accident damage or cosmetic issues. On the other hand, older SUVs like the Ford Escape and Jeep Grand Cherokee are decreasing in demand, many have fluid leaks or worn out suspension parts. Vehicles with accident damage, especially from crashes or floodings, are still common, but the types that come in vary depending on the year and model. Generally, we buy vehicles that are around 10 to 20 years old, often with engine or transmission issues or body damage from rust or collisions. Most vehicles we see are still running but need repairs or have parts worth salvaging.
