Hey, Columbus, Gerogia! Here’s a picture: You’re driving around town and it’s a quintessential Columbus day. Your old, but mostly reliable car is humming along. There’s a cool breeze blowing in through the rolled down windows, the roads are surprisingly empty, and your iPod is playing your favorite playlist. This is heaven. An instant later, you hear a funny whistling sound coming from somewhere under the hood, the car starts slowing down, and you just manage to get over into the shoulder before the engine dies out. You’ve gone from heaven to hell in the blink of an eye. You know you have a few choices you can make: you can have a mechanic look things over, which would include an expensive tow and likely some pricey parts. You could call it a loss and have it towed to the junk yard in Columbus. Or you can get it towed for free and get cash for cars in Columbus by calling SellMax.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Columbus, GA as of October, pricing is trending lower. Parts demand has cooled and inventory has built up, so offers are a bit softer than last month, though activity remains steady.
