San Marcos Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
At San Marcos, we often buy a variety of vehicles from different eras and conditions. Older models like 2000-2005 Ford F-150s and Honda Civics are still common because some people keep their trucks and cars for years. We notice that smaller trucks and SUVs, such as Toyota RAV4s and Chevrolet Equinoxes from the mid-2000s, are getting more popular. Many of these vehicles have high miles, often over 150,000, and sometimes have engine or transmission issues. We also see a lot of older sedans, like 1999-2004 Toyota Camrys and Ford Focuses, which have been damaged in minor accidents or have rust problems. Lately, there’s a rise in late model trucks from 2010-2015, especially Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram pickups, which are in demand for parts or repairs. But, on the downside, cars from before 2000 are less common because they tend to be too old or have worn out parts. We also get a steady number of junk vehicles, especially when they are badly damaged in crashes or have ended up sitting too long without repairs. It’s mostly vehicles from the early 2000s that have body rust, mechanical failures, or engine trouble. Whether it’s a family vehicle that’s seen better days or a truck that was used hard, the vehicles we buy reflect what people are holding onto longer and what’s getting replaced more often. This mix shows how the local vehicle scene is changing over time in San Marcos.
