Sunnyvale CA is an uplifting place where the sky is bright and the weather is gorgeous. Don’t let a stressful car sale darken your sky. You don’t have to tear your hair out trying to trade in your car for a fair price at a dealership. You don’t have to invite questionable people into your home off of Craigslist either. You never have to use the old-fashioned “for sale” sign either. SellMax Cash For Cars is the solution to all the usual car selling stresses.
We Pay Cash for Vehicles
We are a local Sunnyvale CA company that does nothing but buy vehicles. Therefore, our workers are always focused. Our attention is on fast-paced auto purchases at all times. Our mission is to provide auto owners with the funds that they need for a variety of purposes. We’ll be delighted to put funds in your hands whether you need cash for a business venture, grocery trip or just to put in your savings account.
There’s no Need to Embellish
There is no need for you to negotiate, try to be a salesperson or go through a difficult negotiation process. You never have to embellish on the condition of your vehicle. We buy cars of all ages, makes, models, types and conditions. We will offer you a quote on a new, used or junk car all the same. We rarely turn down vehicles, so you should contact us even if you think that we will not be interested in what you have. You may be surprised to find out that we do want to take your car off your hands.
We’ll Come Right to You
We never leave our customers with the burden of having to do any stressful work during the auto sales process. The way it works is that we come out to you to inspect your car and then put money in your hands. You never have to drive around to various offices trying to get the best quote for your vehicle. You never have to deliver anything. In fact, we pride ourselves on the fact that we take care of our customers to the fullest extent. If you do business with us, you will feel as though we are pampering you, for sure.
We’re Trustworthy and Sincere
Vehicle owners in the Sunnyvale CA area choose to sell their cars to us because we are trustworthy and sincere. We conduct ourselves with the highest level of integrity because that is the way that people should always be treated. You can feel confident that you will receive a fair and just quote for the car that you have and the condition that it is in. Your happiness is our motive, and you will realize that when you experience our superior customer service and hospitality. Our friendly specialist will be happy to work with you.
No Waiting
One of the biggest problems that people have when they use methods like Craigslist and signs is that they have to wait for something to happen. Craigslist users have to wait for people to call, and then they have to wait to see if those people show up. “For sale” sign sellers have to wait until someone sees the car and is enthusiastic enough to call with an offer for it. People who deal with us don’t have to wait for anything. All they have to do is let us know what they have to offer us. We then let them know what we have to give.
No Risk or Obligation
You are never under any obligation to sell us your vehicle, and you never have to fear any risks. We send certified car buyers out to your home to conduct the transactions. We do not employ people without putting them through an extensive background investigation process. Furthermore, you are not tied to a quote. Our quote is just an offer of a price that we are willing to pay for your vehicle outright. You have every right to refuse it if it is not to your liking. We’re all about providing a stress-free transaction for you.
Easy Sales Process
Selling your car to us is almost as easy as tying your shoes is. Call our Sunnyvale CA office at 408- 337-8585. Give us some information about your car, and we will give you some information about a quote. You can invite us to complete the transaction with you if you like the quote. We will send someone to your home or office ASAP who will look over the vehicle again and then put some cash in your hands. That specialist will take the responsibility of removing the vehicle from the premises. You never have to do any of the work. Call now to get started.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Sunnyvale, CA as of October, prices are leaning lower as parts demand softens and inventory continues to build. The trend is down, which makes timing and expectations important. In this climate, clean vehicles still draw attention, while rough units see tighter numbers. We are watching the shifts closely and adjusting offers to reflect what buyers are paying right now.
We are seeing a steady flow of Toyota RAV4 and Honda Accord sales, which tracks with what drivers here tend to own. Citywide, the average payout comes in at $676. Compact cars usually land between $402 and $649, while trucks and SUVs often range from $839 to $1,507, with many trucks clearing $1,000 when demand lines up. Those ranges are a good guide for what to expect before you request an offer, and they match the bids we are seeing this month.
Our response is rapid, with a median pickup of 3 hours 40 minutes, and 92 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. As for why people sell, 47 percent cite a missing catalytic converter, 26 percent report collision or body damage, 18 percent have engine problems, 8 percent failed inspection, and 1 percent faced transmission failure. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

When you're ready to sell your car in Sunnyvale, you'll need a couple of things. First off, grab your government-issued ID, because we need to know it's really you. And don’t forget the title to your vehicle. That’s a big one.
If you find yourself without the title but your car is paid off and was titled in California, don’t worry too much just yet. We might still be able to help you out with a reg227 form. It's always good to check in with us to see what options are available.
When you recycle your car in Sunnyvale, you’re passing it to a licensed buyer who knows how to give old vehicles a second chance. We’re all about the essentials-parts and scrap metal. Following California’s environmental rules is a big deal for us, so you can be sure every vehicle is treated with care. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 783 tons of metal, safely drained more than 3,920 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,994 usable parts from vehicles. It’s all about reducing waste and letting those parts continue their journey.
