I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Tampa, FL as of October, prices are leaning lower. We are seeing softer parts demand alongside a build up of inventory, which is pushing offers down a bit. The trend this month is down, so it pays to price vehicles realistically.
Even with that backdrop, typical offers remain predictable. The citywide average payout sits around 571. Compact cars usually land between 331 and 571, while trucks and SUVs often reach from 800 up to 1851. Lately we are buying a lot of Honda Accord and Kia Forte models, and their condition tends to dictate where they fall within those bands.
Why sellers come to us is clear in the numbers. Engine problems account for 44 percent. Failed inspection makes up 25 percent. Missing catalytic converter comes in at 19 percent. Collision or body damage is 12 percent. Transmission failure shows 0 percent this month. Pickups happen fast, with a median time of 3 hours 31 minutes, and 88 percent of vehicles are collected within a day. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
