I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Chattanooga, TN as of October, the market is stable and pricing looks steady compared with last month. Offers are essentially flat with no real shifts in parts demand or scrap inputs, which keeps expectations predictable for sellers. Citywide, the average payout lands around $620, and that baseline has held up through the start of the month.
We continue to see a steady stream of Kia K5 and Kia Soul owners taking offers, and the numbers tell a clear story. Compact cars usually land between $404 and $652, while trucks and SUVs often reach $800 to $1,807. That spread reflects condition and parts value, but most everyday cars track close to the city average, so many quotes come in near that $620 mark.
Why people sell is also consistent. Missing catalytic converter accounts for 31 percent of submissions. Engine problems show up in 28 percent. Failed inspection drives 19 percent. Transmission failure is 16 percent, while collision or body damage makes up 6 percent. Pickups happen fast with a median time of 4 hours 42 minutes and 93 percent completed within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Thinking about selling your junk car in Chattanooga? You will need a few things to make it official. Be sure to have a valid title, your government ID, the vehicle registration, and all of your keys handy.
If you cannot locate your title, do not worry too much. You can get a replacement at any Tennessee DMV or online through the Department of Revenue using form RV-F1310601. If your vehicle is over 12 years old, you might be able to sell it without the title by using form RV-F1311401 along with proof of ownership and a notarized bill of sale. Easy peasy.
When you decide to recycle your car, you’re handing it off to someone who really gets how to give those old wheels a new purpose. We zero in on the essentials: parts and scrap metal. Here in Chattanooga, we make sure to stick to Tennessee’s environmental guidelines, so every car gets treated with care. This year alone, we've recycled over 745 tons of metal, safely drained more than 7,863 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,839 usable parts from vehicles. It’s all about cutting down waste and letting those parts shine again.
