Market Highlights
- The Wagon Niche: The Jetta SportWagen remains a cult favorite in Southern California for its blend of cargo space and compact footprint. However, in 2026, the market for 15-year-old Volkswagens is increasingly bifurcated between well-kept enthusiast cars and high-maintenance 'beaters' with title issues.
- Salvage Market Realities: In the San Diego and Escondido areas, salvage title vehicles face steep competition. Buyers typically expect a massive discount (30-50%) to offset the lack of financing options and higher insurance premiums, especially when mechanical defects like broken AC are present.
- Mechanical Premium: A functional air conditioning system is considered essential for Southern California commuters. A vehicle listed with 'no cold air' is often viewed as a project car, significantly reducing the pool of interested private party buyers and lowering the overall liquidity.
