Do you have a vehicle that you are ready to get rid of and sell? If so, take a deep breath because the process is about to be so easy that you scream in excitement. At SellMax, we offer one of the simplest and easiest processes to selling your vehicle and you will be shocked at how simple it actually is. In fact, we are committed to making sure that you never experience any stress or hassle when you sell us your vehicle.

If you are shaking your head right now thinking about all of the steps that you may have to go through to actually sell us your vehicle, we want to stop you and let you know that you don’t. You can sell us your vehicle from the comfort of your home. Yep, on the couch, in your pajamas, with the latest hot release playing on the television. It truly is that simple.

We know, we know, you probably still are not quite convinced that this is true. After all, you have been through this before. You have been down the road with the dealership and you have attempted to talk to other companies promising cash for cars in Irvine. Well, we have news for you. SellMax is the only company in Irvine that pays you the HIGHEST prices for your vehicle.

We want to let you in on a little secret. Do you know why other cash for cars companies and dealerships turn you away or offer you a small amount of money? It is because they think that you will accept it in a desperate attempt to get cash and they want to make a profit off of you. They prey on people who are worn down or sick and tired of trying to sell their vehicle.

Don’t fall victim to this type of rip off and trust the team at SellMax today. Our company was founded because Tom and Tony, our founders, saw a need that had to be addressed. Don’t get ripped off again and do not sell your vehicle for next to nothing. Contact SellMax now to discuss your options.

There Was a Better Way

We mentioned Tom and Tony briefly above and we said that they knew there needed to be a better way to sell your vehicle. Well, it is true and they took to the streets to figure out what needed to be done. With their knowledge, they came up with the Cash for Cars model, which has worked wonders since its inception.

This model basically is a guarantee all that says that SellMax will pay you CASH for your vehicle. In addition to that, SellMax has a buy all vehicles policy, which states that SellMax will accept ALL vehicles, no matter their condition or what they look like.

From a damaged car on its last leg to a beautiful newer model vehicle with only a few thousand miles, we are ready to provide you with the best cash offer you’ve seen to date.

Tom and Tony are proud of their Cash for Cars model and it continues to work. It works so well that SellMax is located all around the USA and is able to provide many different people with the cash they want for their vehicles.

The Selling Process Will Shock You – In a Good Way of Course

If we were to ask you what you think is involved in the car selling process, what would you say? You would likely think that you have to have the vehicle inspected, fill out tons of paperwork, and then wait to hear back once the appraisal is done, right?

Wrong! That is a BIG, FAT W-R-O-N-G.

SellMax promises you that the process is much easier than that. In fact, you can sell us your vehicle in just four steps from the comfort of your home. Here’s how it works.

1. Tell us about your vehicle.

The first step in the process involves you letting us know a bit about your car. It’s okay, we want to get to know her. The information we need from you is the vehicle’s make, model, location, year, and condition.

2. We provide you with a quote.

Once we have the information about your vehicle, we will provide you with a competitive quote that is sure to be higher than the competition.

3. We come get your vehicle from any location of your choice.

We will come out to your home or any other location that you want and we will pick up your vehicle, free of charge. While our team member is there, he or she will quickly inspect the vehicle and have you sign some forms to make the sale official.

4. We pay you your cash.

We hand the cash over to you and tow or drive your vehicle away.

Wow! It is that easy. We know that is what you are thinking right now and it truly is done in a cinch. Oh, we also want you to know that we will NEVER charge you any surprise or hidden fees. In fact, we do not believe in this and the cash offer you are quoted is the amount of cash that you receive. We are 100% transparent at all times.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Irvine Market

Sean Pour has spent nearly 20 years in the cash for junk cars business. As co-founder, he’s built pricing algorithms and helped thousands of people sell junk cars in Irvine.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Irvine, CA as of October, offers are a bit lower than last month because dismantlers are submitting softer bids and wholesale values are under pressure. The market trend is down, which is showing up in everyday offers. Across the city, the average payout sits around 669 dollars. We are most often picking up models like the Kia Soul and the Subaru Forester.

    Seller motivations this month are clear in the numbers. Engine problems account for 40 percent of sales, failed inspection makes up 25 percent, missing catalytic converter is 18 percent, collision or body damage is 13 percent, and transmission failure is 4 percent. Compact cars usually land between 422 and 579 dollars, while trucks and SUVs often range from 800 to 1243 dollars. That lines up with the citywide average offer of 669 dollars and supports the softer pricing we are seeing.

    Tow times are short. The median pickup is 6 hours 16 minutes, and 91 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
