Sell Your Cars For Cash In Torrance, CA

Take the stress out of selling a car in Torrance CA with SellMax. We come to you with a cash offer. Call 800-225-7500 to get your free quote!
 


Sell Your Car for Cash



If you live in Torrance CA and have a vehicle you want to sell fast, SellMax can help. We make instant cash offers on all types of cars, regardless of age or condition. Whether your car is in good running condition or it hasn't moved in years, we will give you a competitive cash offer to pick up your car and take it off your hands. 

When your car is broken down and costs more to fix than it's worth, or you have a junked car taking up space, you could have it removed by paying a removal service to take it to the dump. Why not get an offer to buy your car instead? Even a car that isn't running or has body damage still has value you can access!

SellMax has served the Torrance community since 1990 with a focus on customer service and honest pricing. To find out how much your car is worth, give us a call or request a free quote online. We can work around your schedule for a convenient pick-up time as soon as one hour after we're contacted. 

Why Choose SellMax?



Selling a car can be stressful, especially if you don't know exactly how to do it. Online auction sites and local advertisements can be successful, but they require plenty of effort and time on your part. If you want to get rid of your car fast with a competitive price and free pick-up, call SellMax at 800-225-7500. 

Unlike other companies that promise cash for junk cars, we put customer service first to make your experience as pleasant and easy as possible. We are also dedicated to making 100% transparent and competitive offers. While some car buyers in Torrance CA will make an offer on the spot for your car, they may have hidden fees that eat up your profit, including fees to pick up the car or have it towed to their location. 

The condition, year, and make of your car do not matter to us. We buy gently owned cars as well as damaged and non-running cars. We will make an offer even if your car does not run, has extensive body damage, or failed a smog test. We believe there's no such thing as a "junk" car; virtually every vehicle still has value that we will pay for. We are also a great way to sell a car if you do not qualify for the California car buy back program.

  • Cash today for a car you're not using
  • Easy process with minimal paperwork
  • Competitive prices for cars of all types and conditions

Step 1: Tell us about your car



To get started, tell us about the car. All we need is the car's location, condition, and the year, make, and model. We use this information to make a competitive offer on your vehicle. Don't worry; we aren't picky. We will make an offer even if your car has body damage, does not run, or cannot pass a smog test. We will even buy your car if you have lost the title, provided it's titled in California. If you still owe money on the car and our offer exceeds your balance, we will pay the remaining loan balance and give you the rest!

Step 2: Get a quote



You don't even need to come to us to sell your car. We'll provide a competitive offer for your vehicle based on the information you provide with no pressure and no obligation. Unlike unreliable third-party buyers, our offer will stay in place to give you time to consider and compare your options. We make transparent offers and give you cash for junk cars with absolutely no hidden fees.

Step 3: Schedule your pick-up date



If you accept our offer, we will arrange a convenient pick-up date that works with your schedule. We can meet you at work, home, or anywhere else for a quick check of the vehicle and minimal paperwork. We can even meet to buy your car from you on the very same day you call us! 

Step 4: Get paid



Once your paperwork is complete, you'll receive cash in hand and we'll take your car off your hands. Our flexible and free pick-ups with cash payment make it easy to get rid of a junk car taking up space with minimal effort on your part.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Torrance 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 Torrance.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Torrance, CA as of October, pricing is coming in a bit stronger than last month, helped by tighter supply and better bids from recyclers. The trend is up, and buyers are leaning in. We are seeing a steady stream of Kia Soul and Jeep Grand Cherokee deals, which tells me both compact and SUV sellers are active. Across town the average payout sits at $658.

    For pricing bands, compact cars usually land between $421 and $666, while trucks and SUVs often come in from $800 to $1,348, with many clearing a thousand when demand lines up. Why people sell right now breaks down pretty clearly. Engine problems drive 60% of submissions, transmission failure accounts for 18%, failed inspection makes up 12%, collision or body damage is 6%, and missing catalytic converter shows up in 4%. Those motivations align with what we are hearing on the phones, and they map closely to the offers we see from dismantlers and rebuilders.

    On logistics, pickups happen fast. The median pickup time is about 1 hours 22 minutes, and 92% wrap up within 24 hours, which helps sellers move on quickly. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

Cash For Cars Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy junk cars near me?

Yes, we do buy near you! We serve Torrance and nearby areas including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Inglewood, Gardena, Compton, Hawthorne, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and many more.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

To get started, you'll need your government-issued ID and the title for your vehicle. If you’ve misplaced the title but your car is paid off and was originally titled in California, don’t worry. We can still help you out using the reg227 form.

It’s all about making the process smooth and straightforward, so just gather what you can, and we’ll take it from there. Selling your car can be simpler than you think.

How are junk cars recycled in Torrance?

Recycling your car in Torrance is like giving it a second chance with a savvy new owner. We make sure to follow California's environmental rules, so you can feel good about where your old vehicle ends up. It's all about salvaging parts and scrap metal that can be put to good use. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 374 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,415 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,444 usable parts from vehicles in Torrance. It’s a win-win for the environment and those parts that still have life left in them.
