Vista Insights
In Vista, we see a wide variety of vehicles coming in, but some types tend to show up more often than others. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado are frequently bought, especially older models from the early 2010s that have high mileage or minor accident damage. These trucks are popular because they’re useful and still work well despite some wear and tear. On the other hand, sedans such as the Nissan Altima and Hyundai Elantra are also common, but many of these are around 10 years old and sometimes have mechanical issues like worn out transmissions or electrical problems. We notice a rise in the number of SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota RAV4. These models are in demand, especially those from recent years, but we often see ones with older engines or suspension issues due to heavy use. Small cars like the Kia Forte and Mazda 3 tend to come in more frequently, especially when they have body rust from years of exposure or blown head gaskets. Interestingly, trucks and SUVs tend to hold their worth better and are more sought after, whereas some smaller cars are harder to sell if they’re in poor condition. The local market shifts slowly, so vehicles in fair shape still attract attention even if they’re showing signs of age or rough use.
