Santa Maria Insights

In Santa Maria, we often buy a variety of used and junk vehicles, and some trends are clear. Older pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram 1500 are still popular because they’re sturdy and useful. Many of these trucks are between 10 and 20 years old, with some showing signs of wear like leaky gaskets or rough transmissions. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are also common, especially models from 2008 to 2014. These vehicles tend to have issues such as failing sensors or worn out suspension parts, but many still run well if maintained. Compact cars like the Chevrolet Malibu and Hyundai Elantra are frequently bought as well, mostly from the late 2000s to early 2010s. Problems with these tend to involve outdated electronics or broken air conditioners, but overall, they remain sought after because they’re cheap to buy and run. Lately, we’ve noticed that younger vehicles, especially those from 2015 and newer, are less frequently flipped for cash in Santa Maria, likely because owners are holding onto them longer or repairing them instead. On the other hand, older vehicles from the early 2000s or late 1990s are still commonly sold to us, often due to mechanical issues or rust problems. In general, vehicles with high mileage, around 150,000 to 200,000 miles, are common in the market, and many have more serious issues like rusted frames or dead engines. Over the past year, used vehicle prices in Santa Maria have stayed fairly steady, with only slight changes in value. If you’re thinking about selling your old or damaged vehicle, now is a good time since the market isn’t seeing big shifts.

What Santa Maria Customers Are Saying:

I sold my old hatchback last week. The process was quick. I got an offer almost instantly. They came to pick it up the next day. The driver was nice and professional. I received my payment immediately. I felt satisfied with the whole experience. – Ian U.


Eased my way into selling my old car—a fair offer came back quickly, and it was a straightforward journey from there. – Mark O.


They bought my broken SUV. The offer was acceptable. – Toni I.


I sold my broken truck in Santa Maria. I was initially hopeful, but that didn’t last long. Filling out the form was simple enough, but the instant offer was not even close to what I hoped. I reluctantly accepted and set a pickup time. They offered free towing, but that didn’t make me smile. When they took my truck, I was left feeling annoyed. – Lauren V.
