Sunnyvale Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Sunnyvale, we see many different types of vehicles being sold. Smaller cars like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas are the most common, especially older models from the early 2010s. These cars are popular because they’re affordable and get good gas mileage. But lately, we’ve noticed fewer of these small sedans come in, possibly because more people are choosing SUVs or trucks instead. Larger vehicles like Ford F-150 trucks and Chevrolet Silverados are increasingly common, especially ones from around 2015 to 2018. Many of these trucks have been used for work or hauling, and some have damage from accidents or rough driving. On the other hand, we see a drop in older minivans like Dodge Caravans from the late 2000s, as fewer people seem to be buying or trading in them. We’ve also noticed that some of the vehicle issues we see often include battery problems, transmission issues, and rust spots, especially on vehicles that spent extra years on the road. Many cars have high mileage, over 150,000 miles, and some have broken parts or crash damage from minor accidents. Older, high mileage cars with repairs or damage are common, and we’re always ready to help with whatever vehicles owners want to sell.
