Santa Fe Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*
Recently, we’ve seen a lot of different vehicles come through in Santa Fe, but some patterns stand out. Older pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S10 are still popular, especially ones from the early 2000s. Many have high miles and are starting to show rust or engine troubles, but people often sell them to clear out space or because repairs cost more than their worth. Compact cars such as Hyundai Elantras and Kia Fortes have also been in demand, mainly models from 2010 to 2015. These cars are reliable but tend to have issues like worn out starters or leaking valve covers after several years of use. On the other hand, newer SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are trending upward in value, especially recent models from 2018 onward. They’re sought after for their safety features and good condition. Many older SUVs, around 2008 or 2009, are often sold because of suspension or transmission problems, as repairs can be costly.
