San Bernardino Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In San Bernardino, we often see a wide range of vehicles come through. Older models like 2005-2010 Ford F-150 trucks and Honda Civics from the late 2000s are common. Many of these vehicles have high miles, sometimes over 150,000, and start to show wear and tear. Some have engine issues or have rust in the body due to years of sun and rain. We also see more recent SUVs, like 2012-2016 Toyota RAV4s, but those tend to be in better shape. Pickups and small cars are popular with drivers who like economy, but they can also be costly to repair after accidents or the vehicle gets old. We notice the number of older cars, like 2000-2005 models, is going down. People seem to prefer newer or slightly newer vehicles. On the other hand, trucks and SUVs are still in demand, especially if they are in good shape or only have minor damage. Many cars have been in minor crashes but still run well, while some have serious problems like broken transmissions or engine failure due to neglect. We often buy vehicles with issues related to age, like rust or worn out parts. They often come with the usual problems for vehicles of that age, like broken airbags, dents, or bad tires. Still, certain models stay popular, especially simple, reliable makes like Honda and Toyota.
