Americans have had a love affair with their cars since they first rolled out of the Ford factory. That love affair is still apparent today, as more cars were sold in 2016 than any other year. There’s good reason too, as cars get us where we are going, give us something to be proud of, and look good to boot. That all applies to Boise, as well, as we have plenty of road and scenery to get out and enjoy.
But as we drive around, the miles accumulate, and our once pristine rides start showing some age. At a certain point, the time to replace your car arrives, and you look for a place to get cash for cars in Boise. The first stop for many people is a Boise car dealership. Off the bat, this seems like a no brainer. But we all know how much mark up a dealer applies to your car after you sell it to them, proving that you aren’t getting the best deal.
The Boise Craigslist and eBay websites are also very popular. But anyone who has tried selling anything worth more than a few hundred dollars online knows how quickly you attract scammers, spam, and low ball offers. You sink a several hours into getting great pictures, pricing your car, only to come up short changed.
The junk yard in Boise may also seem like a reasonable option, as many people think their damaged or disabled vehicles have no value. However, at SellMax, not only do we pay more than dealers and pay cash for cars in Boise faster than online, we also pay cash for junk cars in Boise. SellMax is a national car purchasing company that operates in the Boise area. What was once a chore is now a breeze, and only SellMax can deliver that.
So how exactly does selling a car to SellMax work in Boise? It really couldn’t be easier. We buy cars in Boise, starting with one easy phone call, where you’ll provide us with some basic information about your car to help us create a tailored quote for your car. We’ll set you up with a quote that is based on previous sales data in Boise, as well as the information you provided to us. No hidden fees, no quote switcheroos. Just straight forward, honest business.
After your brief phone call and with quote in hand, we’ll work with your schedule to set up a Car Whiz appointment. Our Car Whizzes drive a tow truck out to meet you wherever you would like the car to be picked up. And home or work, at your friend’s house, on the side of the road, it doesn’t matter to us. The Car Whiz will inspect your car to make sure it matches the information we have while you work through some painless paperwork. If the car gets the A-OK and you get the paperwork finished, the process is complete. We cut you a check, hook your car up to the tow truck, and you can cross that headache off your to-do list. SellMax is the best way to get cash for cars in Boise on your schedule.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Boise, ID as of October, pricing is leaning lower as parts demand softens and inventory builds. The trend is down, so sellers are seeing modestly tighter offers than earlier in the year. Even with that shift, typical offers are coming in around 643 on average citywide. Compact cars usually land between 437 and 577, while trucks and SUVs often range from 800 to 1495.
We often see the Ford Escape and Chevrolet Equinox coming through. People are selling for clear reasons. Collision or body damage accounts for 29 percent. Missing catalytic converter cases make up 27 percent. Engine problems represent 21 percent. Failed inspection is 13 percent, and transmission failure is 10 percent.
Response is rapid, with a median pickup of 3 hours 37 minutes, and 93 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. That quick turnaround helps sellers lock in offers even as prices drift. We’ll be here keeping you updated as trends evolve.
Yes, we’ve got you covered. We serve Boise and nearby areas including Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Caldwell, Garden City, Boise City, Fruitland, Payette, and many more.
Ready to say goodbye to that old ride in Boise? You'll need a few important documents to keep things seamless. First up, grab your valid title, photo ID, registration, and all the keys. If your title has vanished into thin air, don’t worry. Just head to an Idaho Transportation Department office or apply online. You'll need to complete form ITD 3367 and pay a fee for a replacement.
While some buyers might consider alternative documents like registration and a bill of sale, most reputable ones, including us, prefer having a title to ensure everything is above board. It makes for a smoother transaction, and who doesn’t appreciate that?
Recycling your car in Boise means handing it over to a licensed buyer who knows how to breathe new life into old rides. We prioritize the essentials: parts and scrap metal. By sticking to Idaho's environmental guidelines, we ensure that each car is processed responsibly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 328 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,975 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,205 usable parts from vehicles in Boise. It’s all about reducing waste and giving those parts a chance to shine again.
I needed to dispose of a car with a blown head gasket. I called on a Sunday afternoon and had the car picked up within an hour and a half, along with a check. The team was friendly and professional, making the process smooth and quick.
