San Pablo Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In San Pablo, we see a lot of different types of vehicles come through our doors. Sedans like the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata are common, especially models from 2010 to 2015. Many of these have high mileage, often over 150,000 miles, and sometimes have issues with worn out transmissions or engine leaks. Pickup trucks, especially Ford F-150s from around 2008 to 2012, also make up a big part of what we buy. These trucks are often used for work and can have problems with rust or worn suspension parts. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Subaru Outback are still popular, especially those from 2012 to 2016, but many have transmission troubles or leaking head gaskets as they age. Recently, we’ve seen a bit of a rise in older vehicles, like 1999 to 2004 models, mostly because they are cheaper to buy even if they have some mechanical issues. Vehicles that are more than 10 years old tend to have more problems with the paint, rust, or old engines.
