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 Ventura.
I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Ventura, CA as of October, pricing is running a touch stronger than last month thanks to tighter supply and better competition from recyclers. The trend is up, and we are seeing steady demand for everyday family rides. Chevrolet Equinox and Jeep Grand Cherokee show up often in our queue, which lines up with what we are hearing from local sellers.
On offers, the city’s average payout is about $591. Compact cars usually land between $415 and $548, while trucks and SUVs often come in between $800 and $1,610. That mix reflects what we buy most, with mid size SUVs like the Equinox and Grand Cherokee setting the tone. If you are planning a sale, those figures are a useful yardstick for where bids are landing right now.
When it comes to timing, pickups happen fast, with a median pickup in 2 hours 16 minutes and 93 percent wrapped up within 24 hours. Engine problems account for 54 percent of the cars we buy, collision or body damage is 26 percent, failed inspection is 12 percent, transmission failure is 7 percent, and missing catalytic converter is 1 percent. We’ll continue sharing what we see in the local market.
Absolutely, we do. We serve Ventura and nearby areas including Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Simi Valley, Agoura Hills, Moorpark, Fillmore, Port Hueneme, Calabasas, and many other nearby spots.
Ready to part ways with your car? In California, you'll want to grab a few important things before we get started. First up, don’t forget your government-issued ID. It is like your VIP pass for the process.
You will also need the title to your vehicle. But if you have lost it and your car is paid off, no big deal. If it was titled in California, we can still help by using the reg227 form. It is all about finding the right solution for you.
Recycling your car is like giving it a fresh start. In Ventura, we team up with licensed buyers who know the ins and outs of reviving old vehicles. The focus here is on recycling parts and scrap metal while following California's environmental guidelines to ensure every car is treated properly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 665 tons of metal, safely drained more than 5,649 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 5,818 usable parts from cars in Ventura. It’s all about reducing waste and letting those parts carry on their journey.
