Saratoga Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Saratoga, we often see a mix of different vehicles coming in. Older trucks from the late 1990s and early 2000s, like Ford F-150s and Chevrolet Silverados, are still common, but they’re starting to be less popular. The trucks tend to be around 15 to 20 years old, with rust or engine issues often mentioned. When it comes to cars, Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas from the mid-2000s are in steady demand because they last a long time. But sometimes, we get newer models, like 2010 or 2012 Honda Accords or Ford Explorers, especially when they’ve been in accidents or have salvage titles. SUVs and trucks are mainly sought after, possibly because of their usefulness or local demand. Meanwhile, smaller cars or older sedans with high mileage often come in because of worn out parts or broken transmissions. We’re noticing fewer early 2000s sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac Grand Prix, as they’re getting hard to find in good shape.
