Whittier Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Whittier, we’ve noticed certain types of vehicles are more common in what we buy. Pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma often show up, especially those between 10 and 15 years old. Many of these trucks have high mileage and sometimes have engine or transmission issues. We also see a lot of older sedans, such as Honda Civics from around 2008 to 2012, which often have electrical problems or rust spots, especially if they’ve been driven in rain or snow. SUVs like Ford Explorers and Jeep Cherokees are popular, but some are damaged from accidents or have frame issues. Interestingly, newer models like the 2020 Hyundai Elantra are rarer in the junkyard, but the older ones tend to have worn out brakes or blown head gaskets. Trends suggest that trucks and SUVs remain in demand, but older sedans with costly repairs are often what we pay cash for.
