Temecula Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Temecula, we see a wide range of vehicles coming through, but certain models tend to be more common depending on their age and condition. Older pickup trucks, like the 2008 Ford F-150 or 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, are still popular because they are tough and can handle heavy work. Many of these trucks come with issues like rust or worn out suspension parts that become costly to repair. Compact cars, such as the 2012 Honda Civic or 2015 Toyota Corolla, are frequently bought, though they often have transmission problems or worn out brakes after a lot of miles. We also see a good number of SUVs like the 2013 Ford Escape or 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, which are sought after for their space but sometimes have engine oil leaks or radiator issues. Lately, newer models like the 2018 Nissan Rogue are trending up because owners want newer features, but older vehicles still account for a big chunk of what we purchase. Many of these vehicles are being sold because repairs don’t make sense anymore, especially when serious issues like transmission or engine failures are involved.
