I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in San Leandro, CA as of October, pricing is under a bit of pressure. The trend is down, with values leaning lower this month due to weaker parts demand and a build up of inventory. That shift is showing up in the offers we are making and what sellers are receiving across segments. Inventory build is the big theme we are tracking this October.
Toyota Corolla and Kia Sorento are the models we see most often right now. Citywide, the average payout sits at $649. Compact cars usually land between $406 and $565, while trucks and SUVs often reach $800 to $1,103. That average covers a wide range of conditions, and it lines up with what we are quoting on driveways across town.
Sellers are coming to us for clear reasons. Collision or body damage accounts for 53%, engine problems 27%, failed inspection 11%, transmission failure 7%, and missing catalytic converter 2%. Tow times are short. The median pickup is 5 hours 18 minutes, and 88% are completed within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
To sell your car in California, you'll want to have a few things handy. A government-issued ID is a must, and you'll need the title to your vehicle. If you find yourself without the title, don’t worry just yet. If your vehicle is paid off and was titled in California, we can still work with you using the reg227 form.
So, gather your ID and title, and let’s see how we can make this happen. It’s all about getting you on your way with a smile.

The team provided a smooth experience when I sold my older car that wouldn’t start. They responded quickly, completed the paperwork in no time, and picked up the car even in the rain. Later, they promptly returned my belongings when I realized I left them inside.
