Santa Monica Insights
In Santa Monica, the used vehicle market has shown some interesting trends. We frequently buy trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Ford F-250, especially those around 10 to 15 years old with high mileage. Many of these vehicles come in with engine wear or paint damage from years of rough use. Smaller cars, such as the Hyundai Elantra and Nissan Sentra, are also common. These tend to be between 8 and 12 years old and often have issues like worn out suspensions or electrical problems. SUVs, like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, are increasingly sought after, especially models from 2007 to 2013. However, early models sometimes arrive with transmission problems or collision damage from accidents. Interestingly, older hybrid vehicles, like the Toyota Prius from 2010-2012, are less popular now because parts are harder to find, and repairs can be costly. The market in Santa Monica remains fairly steady, with little change in vehicle values over the past few months. Knowing which types of cars and trucks are in demand or declining can help people understand when it might be best to sell.
