I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Wilmington, DE as of October, the market looks stable, with offers holding steady versus last month thanks to consistent parts demand. Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Equinox owners are the ones we are hearing from most. Citywide payouts are averaging about $675, which aligns with what we have been seeing through the summer. Overall, pricing and demand look steady as we move through October.
For pricing, compact cars usually land between $440 and $623, so a Corolla in average shape tends to fall in that band. Trucks and SUVs come in higher between $913 and $1,765, and an Equinox often tracks near that midpoint depending on condition and title. Across the board, most everyday vehicles end up close to that city average when condition is typical.
