Poway Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Poway, we often buy a mix of older and newer vehicles, with trucks and SUVs being especially popular. Pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado tend to come in models from 2008 to 2015, with some showing signs of rust or worn out brake systems. SUVs such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are also common, usually around 2010 to 2016, but many have high mileage and issues with worn out suspensions or leaking seals. Compact cars, like the Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra, make up a good chunk of what we see, especially those from 2012 to 2017. These vehicles often have problems with worn out transmissions or engine oil leaks, which can be costly to repair. On the decline are older minivans and sedans, though they still show up now and then. Vehicles from the early 2000s, like the Dodge Caravan or Ford Taurus, often have rust or engine troubles that lead owners to consider selling for quick cash. Interestingly, newer models like the Toyota Tacoma from 2014 or the Nissan Sentra from 2016 are trending up, especially if they’re still in decent shape. The market has stayed pretty stable lately, with prices swinging less than 3% over the past few months.
