Sean’s Expert Take on the Birmingham Market

Sean Pour has spent nearly 20 years in the cash for junk cars business. As co-founder, he’s built pricing algorithms and helped thousands of people sell junk cars in Birmingham.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Birmingham, AL as of October, the market is on the upswing. Buyer competition has strengthened and scrap values have firmed, which is nudging bids higher across the board. The citywide average payout is about $676, and we are seeing that momentum carry through most segments.

    The mix skews toward practical sellers and practical cars. We are buying a lot of Toyota Tacoma trucks and Ford Fusion sedans right now. As for why people sell, 30 percent cite collision or body damage, 27 percent report a missing catalytic converter, 24 percent have transmission failure, 12 percent face engine problems, and 7 percent come in after a failed inspection.

    On pricing, compact cars usually land between $459 and $637, while trucks and SUVs typically range from $845 to $1,387. Pickups happen fast, with a median pickup time of 2 hours 6 minutes, and 93 percent are completed within 24 hours. If you are comparing offers, the current trend favors acting sooner rather than later while values remain firm. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
