Santa Clara Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In Santa Clara, we often see a wide range of vehicles coming in, especially older cars and trucks. Pickup trucks like Ford F-150s from 2010 to 2015 are common, often with dents or rust, since they get used hard on farms or construction sites. Many SUVs, such as Honda CR-Vs from 2008 to 2012, show signs of wear from daily driving, and some have high mileage or minor accident damage that makes repairs too costly. Sedans like Toyota Camrys from 2005 to 2010 are also popular because they are affordable and reliable, but some have issues with their engines or transmissions. In recent years, we’ve noticed a drop in newer models and luxury vehicles, though a few get brought in after accidents or engine trouble. Older cars, especially those from the early 2000s, tend to have more mechanical problems or frame damage. We also find that vehicles with high mileage tend to have brake or suspension issues, and many have minor body damage from fender benders or rough parking lot bumps. Trucks and SUVs remain in steady demand because of their toughness, but small economy cars are less common now as people shift to larger or more reliable rides. This mix makes every vehicle unique, but they all share a common story of being on the road in Santa Clara for many years.
