Santa Cruz Insights
In Santa Cruz, we see a lot of different types of vehicles come through. Small cars like Honda Civics and Ford Focuses are common, especially models from the late 2000s and early 2010s. These cars are often a bit older, around 10 to 15 years, and sometimes have issues like rust, worn out parts, or engine troubles. We also buy trucks, especially older pickups like Chevrolet Silverados and Ford F-150s, which get used for work or hauling. These trucks can be damaged from accidents or heavy use, and some have high mileages. SUVs, such as Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s, are growing more popular in the area. They often get bought even when they have minor dents or engine leaks, as long as they run. Recently, we’ve noticed a rise in newer models, like Hyundai Elantras and Kia Souls from 2018 or newer, because people tend to upgrade more quickly now. On the other hand, older sedans and junk vehicles with huge dents or broken engines are more common in the market than they were a few years ago.
