I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Knoxville, TN as of October, local offers are easing compared with last month as demand for used parts cools while resale supply stays elevated. Pricing is trending down, and the citywide average payout is $605 right now. If you are testing the market, it pays to set expectations accordingly and move quickly when a strong bid appears.
We continue to buy a lot of everyday sedans, with the Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion showing up most often. Compact cars usually land between $423 and $649, while trucks and SUVs often exceed $1,000 and can reach $1,937. Even with softer pricing, clean titles and complete vehicles see better consistency, and we are still seeing competitive offers on solid transportation.
In terms of why people are selling, 64 percent cite collision or body damage, 18 percent report a missing catalytic converter, 12 percent have engine problems, 5 percent note a failed inspection, and 1 percent face transmission failure. Pickup is quick. Median time to tow is 1 hours 47 minutes and 89 percent are wrapped up within 24 hours, so response is rapid. We’ll be here keeping you updated as trends evolve.
Ready to part ways with your old ride in Knoxville? You will need a few essentials to make it happen. First up, a valid title and a government ID are must-haves, along with your car’s registration and all the keys. If you have misplaced the title, do not worry. You can request a replacement at any Tennessee DMV or online through the Department of Revenue with form RV-F1310601.
For those vintage vehicles over 12 years, you might have a bit of leeway. You can sell without a title using form RV-F1311401, plus proof of ownership and a notarized bill of sale. It is all about keeping things straightforward, so you can focus on what is next.
When you recycle your car, you're handing it over to a licensed buyer who knows the ins and outs of giving those old rides a fresh start. In Knoxville, we zero in on what truly counts: salvaging parts and recycling scrap metal. We make sure to stick to Tennessee's environmental guidelines, so every vehicle is treated responsibly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 524 tons of metal, safely drained more than 3,357 gallons of fluids, and retrieved around 4,368 usable parts from vehicles right here in Knoxville. It's all about cutting down on waste and letting those parts shine again.
The team made the transaction smooth and efficient. Although the offer for my 2013 Chevy Impala was lower than expected due to its condition, the pickup was timely and the staff were friendly throughout the process. Overall, it was a quick and convenient experience selling my car with SellMax.
