Who are the Car Buyers At SellMax? And Why Should I Work With Them?

You may be wondering who SellMax is at this point and we don’t blame you. We are known to many people as different things.

Some call us awesome and others refer to us as the top cash for junk cars in Riverside.

SellMax is your solution to selling your vehicle. We take the stress out of the process and provide you with a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Our company first got its start in the early 1990’s and was founded by Tony and Tom. Both Tony and Tom saw a need for an easy car selling process.

Their mission was simple and that was to help people sell their vehicles for the fairest price on the market.

Prior to SellMax, there were two main ways for you to sell your vehicle and they included:

1. Advertising your vehicle in the local newspaper and hoping that someone would call you and purchase your vehicle

OR

2. Taking your vehicle down to the local dealership and hoping that they would offer to pay you more than a few bucks for your car

Tony and Tom hated both of these options and that is why they formed the “Cash for Cars” model, which is still in use today.

This model helps to open doors for consumers and allows each customer to receive a fair and accurate quote for their vehicle.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Riverside 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 Riverside.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Riverside, CA as of October, pricing is leaning lower as parts demand softens and inventory builds. The trend is down this month. Trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Jeep Wrangler continue to show up often, even with softer bids.

    Citywide, the average payout is $578. Compact cars usually land between $413 and $647, while trucks and SUVs typically range from $892 to $1,953. Tacoma and Wrangler offers often land in that higher band, while typical offers for many vehicles hover near the city average.

    Why people sell right now is clear in the data. Engine problems account for 51%, failed inspection is 25%, and collision or body damage is 18%. Missing catalytic converter sits at 5%, and transmission failure is 1%. Our response is rapid, with a median pickup time of 2 hours 46 minutes, and 91% of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

How are junk cars recycled in Riverside?

Recycling your car in Riverside means handing it over to a pro who knows how to breathe new life into those old wheels. We zero in on the essentials: parts and scrap metal. Following California’s environmental guidelines, we ensure that every vehicle gets the care it deserves. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 808 tons of metal, safely drained more than 2,296 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,450 usable parts from vehicles here in Riverside. It’s all about reducing waste and giving those parts another chance.

Our customers love us!

The team provided excellent service when I junked my car for the first time. They were quick to help me with the paperwork needed for the DMV after I forgot to complete the transfer. I appreciate their courtesy and expertise, and I would choose them again if I need similar assistance.
