Sean’s Expert Take on the Costa Mesa 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 Costa Mesa.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Costa Mesa, CA as of October, offers have eased compared with last month. Demand for used parts has cooled while resale supply remains high, which is putting some downward pressure on bids. Even so, well priced vehicles are still moving, and sellers who understand current ranges are getting deals done without much delay.

    We are seeing a steady flow of Toyota RAV4 and Jeep Wrangler. Across the city the average payout is 644. Compact cars usually land between 410 and 560, while trucks and SUVs tend to come in 800 to 1265. That spread reflects what we are writing up on driveable trade ins as well as vehicles with issues, so most sellers can gauge a realistic offer before scheduling a pickup.

    Reasons for selling this month are led by failed inspection at 46 percent and engine problems at 36 percent. We also see missing catalytic converter at 8 percent, transmission failure at 6 percent, and collision or body damage at 4 percent. Tow times are short with a median pickup of 1 hour 55 minutes, and 89 percent are completed within 24 hours. We’ll be here keeping you updated as trends evolve.

How are junk cars recycled in Costa Mesa?

This year alone, we’ve recycled over 816 tons of metal, safely drained more than 5,764 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,154 usable parts from vehicles in Costa Mesa.

Our customers love us!

The team was efficient and straightforward during my car sale. While the offer for my 2013 Chevy Impala was lower than expected due to its issues, the pickup was timely and the staff was very friendly. Overall, the experience was smooth and hassle-free.
