San Marcos Insights
In San Marcos, we often purchase a variety of vehicles, but pickups and SUVs tend to be the most common. Older Ford F-150s from around 2005 to 2010 are popular, especially those that have seen rough use or have minor crash damage. Many of these trucks have issues like rusted frames or worn out suspensions, making repairs costly and leading owners to sell for scrap or parts. Compact cars like earlier Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas from 2008 to 2012 are also frequently bought, especially when they have high mileage or engine problems. Common issues include transmission slipping and faulty electrical systems, which often make fixing them more expensive than the vehicle’s worth. We’re noticing a slight decline in the purchase of older sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu from around 2006, as demand for budget-friendly, older models drops. Meanwhile, newer SUVs like a 2015 Honda CR-V or Nissan Rogue are in steady demand, especially those with minor accident damage or cosmetic issues. To sum up, trucks and small SUVs continue to be the most sought after, while economy cars are becoming less common in our buying mix.
