I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in South Bend, IN as of October, the market looks stable. Offers are essentially flat compared to last month, with no noticeable change in parts demand or scrap inputs.
We are seeing a steady stream of Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu sales, and the citywide average payout is about $615. Compact cars usually land between $415 and $658, while trucks and SUVs run from $800 to $1667 and often exceed $1,000. That spread lines up with what sellers have been experiencing on the ground.
Seller motivations are straightforward in the data. Failed inspection accounts for 43 percent, missing catalytic converter is 35 percent, transmission failure is 2 percent, collision or body damage is 11 percent, and engine problems are 9 percent. Tow times are short, with a median pickup of 3 hours 7 minutes, and 89 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

In South Bend, you’ll need a valid vehicle title, a government-issued photo ID, and the registration to sell your car. If your title has taken an unexpected vacation, don’t worry. You can get a replacement at any Indiana BMV branch or online by filling out State Form 205 and paying a small fee.
While some buyers might consider other documents like registration or a bill of sale if you’re missing a title, most reputable ones will really want that title in hand. It just makes everything smoother. So, gather your paperwork and let’s get started.
When you decide to recycle your car, you’re passing it to a licensed buyer who knows the ropes of giving old vehicles a new lease on life. We zero in on what’s important: parts and scrap metal. In South Bend, we stick to Indiana's environmental rules, ensuring every car gets the care it deserves. This year, we’ve recycled over 136 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,462 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,201 usable parts from vehicles. It’s all about reducing waste and letting those parts keep on giving.
The team provided excellent service when I junked my car for the first time. They were quick to offer help with the DMV transfer process when I reached out later for assistance. Their courtesy and knowledge made the experience smooth and easy.
