Ukiah Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

Here in Ukiah, we often see a variety of vehicles come through, but certain types stand out. Older pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 from the late 2000s and early 2010s are still popular among buyers looking for work trucks. Many of these trucks have high mileage or minor rust, but they’re often still worth buying or selling. Compact cars such as the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte from the early 2010s are also common. These vehicles tend to have issues like worn out timing belts or leaky head gaskets after around 120,000 miles. SUVs, particularly Ford Escapes and Honda CR-Vs from around 2012 to 2015, are in steady demand, though some have transmission problems or accident damage that affects their value. Recently, newer models like the Toyota Tacoma from 2018 are starting to trend up since they hold their value well and are in good condition even with some cosmetic wear. Older vehicles, especially those over 15 years old, often come in with engine or body damage from accidents or rough use.
