South El Monte Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In South El Monte, we often buy a mix of vehicles ranging from older sedans to worn out pickups. Typically, we see trucks like the Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota coming in with high mileage, usually over 150,000 miles, and often needing repairs on their transmissions or suspensions. Compact cars such as the Nissan Sentra and Chevrolet Spark are common, especially models from the early 2010s. These tend to have issues with aging engines or worn out brakes, which can be costly to fix. SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson are also frequently purchased, though newer models with less rust and better mechanics are more desirable. Recently, the trend shows an increase in older vans like the Ford E-Series, often used for work or cargo, but they usually have aging engines or rust problems. On the other hand, newer models, especially anything from after 2015, are less common, as they tend to be in good shape and get used longer. The market’s been steady, so if you’re thinking about parting with an older vehicle, now might be a good time.
