Salinas Insights
In Salinas, we often buy a wide variety of used and junk vehicles. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota are popular, especially among people needing work trucks. These trucks tend to be about 15 years old on average. Many have high mileage and issues like rusty frames or worn out brakes due to heavy use. Sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu and Honda Accord are also common purchases. Some of these vehicles are around 10-15 years old and often have problems with their suspensions or aging engines. Many have been in minor accidents, which can lead to frame damage or misaligned wheels. On the other hand, vehicles like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are sought after for parts, but older models sometimes have transmission troubles or electrical issues. In the last year, we’ve noticed a rise in interest for small SUVs such as the Jeep Renegade and Nissan Rogue. These vehicles are usually between 8 and 12 years old and often have problems with their air conditioning or transmission failures. Meanwhile, larger SUVs like the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Tahoe are less common but still appear, many with repair needs after years of family use. The vehicle market in Salinas stays fairly steady, with not much change in prices from month to month.
