Thousand Oaks Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

In Thousand Oaks, we often buy a variety of vehicles, but certain types tend to stand out more than others. Trucks and SUVs are especially popular, with models like the Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander making up a large portion of what we see. Many of these vehicles are between 10 and 15 years old, and common issues include worn out suspensions and aging engines that consume more oil. Stock models such as the Chevy Silverado or Nissan Frontier still run well if maintained, but rust and transmission problems are usually on the radar. We also come across a lot of compact cars like older Honda Civics and Hyundai Elantras. These cars are usually around 8 to 12 years old, and common problems include failing door locks and electrical issues. Although many of these small vehicles run reliably, engine leaks and worn out brakes are frequent reasons they might be sold. Recently, there’s a slight increase in demand for mini vans like the Dodge Grand Caravan and Kia Sedona, especially from families looking for affordable options. Meanwhile, classic sedans such as Ford Taurus or Chevrolet Malibu are becoming less common as people shift towards SUVs. The market is relatively steady, with little fluctuation over the past few months, making it a decent time to sell if you’re thinking about freeing up some space or cash.
