Santa Ana Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Santa Ana, we often buy a variety of older and damaged vehicles. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra are pretty popular, especially models from 2010 to 2015. Many of these trucks show signs of heavy use, such as rust, worn suspension parts, or engine trouble, especially if they’ve been hauling or towing a lot. Sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu and Toyota Camry from the early 2000s are also common, but these often face issues like failing transmissions or leaky head gaskets, which can be costly to repair. On the other hand, SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Ford Escape, particularly models from 2008 to 2012, are increasingly in demand, though they’re sometimes damaged by accidents or have dead batteries. Recently, older vehicles from the late 1990s and early 2000s, especially those with high mileage or needing body work, are seeing fewer buyers. Trends show that the demand for well maintained trucks and SUVs remains steady, while older, more worn out cars have become less sought after.
