I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Lakewood, CO as of October, pricing has ticked up from last month due to tighter supply and stronger bids from recyclers. The market is trending up, and sellers are seeing firmer offers without long wait times.
Citywide, typical offers average about $667. Compact cars usually land between $412 and $552, while trucks and SUVs often come in from $800 to $1,184. We are frequently buying Kia Sorento and Jeep Wrangler models, with offers tracking to those ranges when condition and mileage line up.
Why people are selling right now is clear in the numbers. Engine problems account for 33%, collision or body damage for 29%, failed inspection for 18%, missing catalytic converter for 16%, and transmission failure for 4%. Pickup is fast, with a median time of 2 hours 37 minutes and 91% of cars collected within 24 hours, so most deals wrap up the same day in Lakewood. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Absolutely, we do. We serve Lakewood and nearby areas including Denver, Aurora, Golden, Littleton, Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, Englewood, Castle Rock, Thornton, and plenty more nearby.
So, you're ready to part ways with your old ride in Lakewood. You'll need a few important documents first. A valid title, a government-issued photo ID, and vehicle registration are essential to get started. If the title's gone missing, don't worry, just swing by the Colorado DMV and grab a replacement using Form DR 2539A.
If your car's a classic, over 25 years old, you might be looking at a Colorado Rebuilt Title with Form DR 2410. Lost both the title and registration? A surety bond (Form DR 2394) could help. And don't forget the VIN number and proof of insurance. If you hit a snag, SellMax can lend a hand with the paperwork, and they might even buy your car while you sort things out.
Recycling your car in Lakewood means you’re working with a licensed buyer who knows how to breathe new life into old rides. It’s all about salvaging parts and scrap metal.

It’s a smart way to reduce waste and give those parts a chance to shine again.
