I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Compton, CA as of October, the market is steady, with prices holding firm thanks to balanced buyer activity and scrap input costs. The average payout across the city comes in around $680. We are seeing plenty of Honda CR-V and Ford Focus transactions, and that mix has been consistent through the month. Sellers are benefiting from predictable pricing and smooth turnarounds.
Engine problems are the top reason to sell at 61%. Missing catalytic converter issues account for 13%, collision or body damage is 13%, and transmission failure is 12%. Failed inspection rounds it out at 1%. That mix points to heavy mechanical concerns in the cars we evaluate this month.
On pricing, compact cars usually land between $475 and $679, while trucks and SUVs tend to come in between $879 and $1,560. Offers for larger vehicles often clear a thousand dollars, while smaller rides track closer to the city average. Our response is rapid, with median pickup around 1 hours 43 minutes and 89% of vehicles collected within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Ready to part ways with your car? You will need a couple of key items to make it official. First off, do not forget your government issued ID. And of course, the title to the vehicle is a must.
If you have misplaced the title but your vehicle is paid off and was titled in California, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We can still help you out with the reg227 form. It is all about making this as smooth as possible for you.
In Compton, recycling your car means teaming up with a licensed buyer who knows how to breathe new life into those old wheels. Our focus is on the essentials: parts and scrap metal. We stick to California's environmental rules so you can be sure every car gets the care it needs. This year, we've recycled over 273 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,818 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,660 usable parts from vehicles in Compton. It’s all about reducing waste and giving those parts another chance to shine.
The team at SellMax provided a smooth experience when I sold my older car. They responded quickly and handled the paperwork in just a few minutes. Even after the sale, they promptly returned items I accidentally left behind, showcasing their excellent communication and customer care.
