South Gate Insights

In South Gate, we often buy a mix of vehicles, including older cars and trucks, as well as newer models. Commonly, we see cars like Ford F-150 trucks from the early 2010s, and Honda Civic sedans from the mid-2000s. These vehicles are popular because they’re reliable and often have high mileage but still run well. On the other hand, we’re noticing fewer minivans and small economy cars like the Toyota Yaris, which used to be a favorite but now saw a drop in popularity. Many of the older trucks and cars arrive with engine problems or transmission issues, especially if they’ve been used daily for years. Some vehicles have damage from minor accidents, like dents or broken parts, but others arrive with more serious issues, such as frame damage or rust. We’re also seeing an increase in owners looking to sell vehicles with over 150,000 miles, mainly because repairs become too costly. The trend shows that older, high mileage vehicles are still in demand, especially those that can be fixed up or used for parts.
