How do you know when it’s time to part ways with your car? Maybe your car has been your trusted sidekick from the day you first got your driver’s license. Or perhaps it’s been a thorn in your side, recently sucking every last dime from your wallet. At some point, you’ve got to cut the cord and start over.
Your car has been a part of your life for years, maybe accompanying you to the Aurora Reservoir on the weekends, cruising through Cherry Creek State Park on a beautiful day. Parting ways can be emotional – for better or worse.
Don’t make it harder than it has to be. SellMax will put money in your pocket because we pay cash for cars in Aurora, CO.
But how can that happen when your car barely sputters to a start every morning? Or when it’s been many moons since it made a spark?
SellMax pays cash for cars in Aurora, CO. Cash for ALL cars. Even if it’s damaged or needs a tow just to get out of the driveway, and you think the junkyard in Aurora, CO is your only hope, SellMax will pay you cash. Fast – often in one day.
Sure, there are multiple ways you can sell your car and put cash in your pocket. And of course, you should consider them all before making a decision.
First, take some steps to determine your car’s value. If the vehicle is still running, you can use several tools available online that estimate car values. Kelley Blue Book (KBB) is one trusted resource. If your car needs repairs, you may need to deduct the cost of repairs from your car’s estimated value to figure out what it’s worth. (If the required repairs cost more than your car is worth, it might be time to junk it.)
So, what are your options when it comes time to sell your car?
You can list your car for sale on the Craigslist pages for Aurora, CO, Facebook, or in the local papers. What happens then? You wait for someone to call or message. You set up a time for them to look at the car and hope for the best.
On the way to your place, the car buyer is thinking up ways to pay as little as possible for your car. Meanwhile, you’re adding up all the things about your car that give it value. You – the seller, and them – the buyer, have opposing goals. What could go wrong?
Perhaps you plan to use your car as a trade-in on a newer car purchase. It could save you the hassle of having to come up with a down payment. But just like a private sale, a dealer is looking to pay the least amount possible for your broken-down or damaged car. While it may seem like the easier route, it could end up costing you hundreds of dollars.
In the end, trading in a car is probably not the best way to make sure you get the best price on your vehicle.
If you decide to sell your car for scrap or to a junkyard in Aurora, CO, they too will be trying to give you as little cash as possible and may even convince you to pay them a junk car removal fee.
A scrapyard will pay you a set price based on your car’s weight.
A junkyard will ultimately tear your car apart and sell your car for parts, and the less they give you, the more they stand to make.
If you decide the best plan is to turn that thorn-in-your-side car into a salvaged yard, don’t expect to get more than a couple of hundred dollars, and that’s the best-case scenario.

Thinking about selling your junk car in Aurora? You'll want to gather a few important documents first. Make sure you have a valid title, a government-issued photo ID, and the vehicle registration. If your title got lost somewhere along the way, no worries. Just head to the Colorado DMV with Form DR 2539A to get a replacement.
If your car is over 25 years old, you can snag a Colorado Rebuilt Title using Form DR 2410. And if you're missing both the title and registration, a surety bond (Form DR 2394) might be necessary. Plus, don’t forget the VIN number and proof of insurance. If you feel a bit overwhelmed, SellMax can help you through the paperwork and may even buy your car while you're sorting things out.
Recycling your car means it gets a fresh start with a buyer who knows the ropes. In Aurora, we’re all about giving those tired vehicles a second chance. We prioritize what really counts-valuable parts and scrap metal-while sticking to Colorado's environmental rules to ensure every car is treated right. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 882 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,989 gallons of fluids, and salvaged around 5,029 reusable parts from cars in Aurora. It’s a win-win for reducing waste and extending the life of those parts.
Selling my car was a smooth process thanks to the team. They responded within minutes and handled the paperwork quickly. I was impressed with their promptness and how they even returned my forgotten items soon after.
