San Juan Capistrano Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In San Juan Capistrano, we often buy a mix of older and more recent vehicles. Trucks like the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 are popular, especially models built between 2010 and 2015. Many of these trucks have high mileage, sometimes over 150,000 miles, and common issues include rusted frames and worn out transmissions. We also see a lot of sedans such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry from the late 2000s and early 2010s. These cars are usually still running, but they often face problems with aging suspensions and failing electrical systems. SUVs like the Chevrolet Equinox and Nissan Rogue are trending up, especially models from 2012 to 2016. They’re good for families and their parts are in demand, even if they have engine leaks or worn out brakes. Smaller cars, like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte from around 2010 to 2014, are still common, but many have issues with aging air conditioning systems and broken sensors. Generally, the vehicles we see most often are around 10 to 15 years old now, and many are still drivable despite some mechanical hiccups. Interestingly, older junk vehicles, especially those with major engine or transmission problems, tend to be the easiest for us to purchase, since they often have little or no resale value but still contain salvageable parts. If you’re thinking about selling or junking your vehicle, keep these trends in mind, and remember that the vehicles with early issues tend to be the most straightforward for us to buy.
