Sean’s Expert Take on the Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Santa Ana, CA as of October, we are seeing modestly higher offers as demand for key parts continues to improve. The market is trending up, and that shift is showing up in both bids and buyer interest across the board.

    Honda Accord and Jeep Grand Cherokee are the most common vehicles we are buying right now. Citywide, typical offers average about $597. Compact cars usually land between $349 and $521, while trucks and SUVs often range from $818 to $2,014. Around town that mix has kept activity steady, with sellers getting quick responses and straightforward offers.

    Why people sell lines up with what we see in the shop. Engine problems account for 37 percent of sales, missing catalytic converters make up 25 percent, and collision or body damage is 24 percent. Failed inspection comes in at 7 percent, and transmission failure is 7 percent. Turnaround stays quick, with a median pickup of 5 hours 3 minutes, and 88 percent get picked up within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
