Cash for Cars in Long Beach, CA

DON’T BE FOOLED BY LOW PRICES AND GET THE MONEY YOU DESERVE FOR YOUR CAR!

Have you found yourself kicking the bucket around thinking about whether or not your car just may not be worth more than the $25 offered to you? You have thought wrong! The team at SellMax wants to let you in on two different secrets. The first secret is that other companies and dealers that offer cash for cars in Long Beach, CA are simply lying to you and offering you a ridiculously low price, so that they can make a profit off of you! The second secret is that SellMax will pay you a FAIR price for that vehicle you no longer want and we can promise you that you will receive more than just $50 bucks for it.

We know, you are probably thinking “yeah right” to yourself, but it is true and all of our customers were once in your shoes too. We know that you probably doubt what we say simply because of the experiences you have had with others like us. But, guess what? We are not like the others.

In fact, SellMax is committed to providing you with a FAIR and DECENT price for your vehicle. We pay the HIGHEST amounts throughout all of Long Beach and we take ALL vehicles. That is right. If your vehicle is damaged, junked, or in fair condition, we never turn you away. We WANT to buy your car from you and we will even come out to your location FREE of charge to pick up your car.

If you want cash in your hand without the gimmicks and the hassles, contact SellMax now. We buy cars all the time and will never turn you away. We have cash in hand, but it could soon be you with the cash in your hand.

Want to learn more about why you should work with SellMax and the car selling process? We thought so. Let’s go ahead and take a look now.

SellMax Saw a Problem and Need in the Community

When you think of cash for cars in Long Beach, what comes to mind? You probably have the right idea, but previous to SellMax in 1990, other people had the unpleasant time of trying to sell their vehicle. In fact, there were only two main ways to sell your vehicle and they were to either take the vehicle to the local car dealership and roll the dice to see how much you get or to place an ad in the local newspaper and just hope that someone sees it and wants to purchase your car.

These two options seem pretty bad, huh? They were and they often frustrated many of the people who did try to sell their cars. Because of this, Tom and Tony, the founders of SellMax, decided that they needed to take action to make sure EVERYONE could sell their cars AND receive a fair price for them.

Tom and Tony created what is known as the “Cash for Cars” model and it is still in use today. What this model says is basically that SellMax has a buy all policy. This means that SellMax will purchase your vehicle no matter its condition from clunker to damaged and more AND we will pay you the HIGHEST price for the vehicle.

Thanks to Tom and Tony, you can now get the cash that you deserve for your vehicle and you never have to worry about being ripped off again.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Long Beach 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 Long Beach.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Long Beach, CA as of October, pricing is steady because buyer demand and scrap costs are in balance. The market is stable, and that shows up in consistent offers. Citywide, the average payout is $618. We are seeing a healthy mix of crossovers, with the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape showing up often among the cars we buy.

    Why people sell is pretty clear in the numbers. Engine problems account for 32% of submissions. Missing catalytic converter cases make up 30%. Collision or body damage represents 22%. Failed inspection sits at 8%, and transmission failure is also 8%. Those patterns match what we are picking up around town, from daily drivers with mechanical issues to vehicles that have seen a fender bender.

    Tow times are short, with a median pickup of 1 hours 24 minutes, and 88% of cars are picked up within 24 hours. On pricing, compact cars usually land between $396 and $641, while trucks and SUVs tend to range from $800 to $1,220. Typical offers often hover near that $618 average when the vehicle lines up with current demand. We’ll be here keeping you updated as trends evolve.

Cash For Cars Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy junk cars near me?

Yes, we do buy near you! We serve Long Beach and nearby areas including Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Fullerton, Torrance, Huntington Beach, Norwalk, Downey, Bellflower and many more.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

Ready to part ways with your car? You will need a couple of important documents to make it happen. First up, do not forget your government issued ID. It is your ticket to a smooth transaction.

You will also need the title to the vehicle. If you have misplaced it but your car is paid off and was titled in California, there is a chance we can still help. In that case, we would just need the reg227 form. Simple, right?

How are junk cars recycled in Long Beach?

When it comes to recycling your car in Long Beach, you’re handing it over to a licensed buyer. These folks know the ins and outs of giving old vehicles a fresh start. Our focus is all about parts and scrap metal, ensuring every car is treated according to California’s environmental guidelines. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 671 tons of metal, safely drained more than 3,673 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 5,868 usable parts from cars in Long Beach. It’s a great way to reduce waste and let those parts continue their journey.

Our customers love us!

The team was very helpful when I needed to junk my car for the first time. I forgot to complete the transfer process, but they quickly provided the necessary DMV information to help me out. Their service was efficient and friendly, making the experience easier than I expected.
