I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Rockford, IL as of October, offers have eased compared with last month as used parts demand cools and resale supply stays elevated. Even with that soft patch, the citywide average payout sits near $579. Compact cars usually land between $385 and $530, while trucks and SUVs tend to come in from $824 to $1,724.
We continue to see a steady flow of Ford Escape and Ford Fusion owners choosing to sell. The top reasons are clear in the numbers. Failed inspection accounts for 41 percent. Collision or body damage is 25 percent. Transmission failure is 14 percent. Engine problems are 15 percent. Missing catalytic converter makes up 5 percent.
Turnaround stays quick. Median pickup time is roughly 1 hours 59 minutes, and 93 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. That speed helps sellers lock in offers without hassle while pricing is in flux. If you are weighing a sale, the typical local deal centers around $579 depending on condition and trim. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

To sell your car in Illinois, you'll want to have a few key documents on hand. A valid title is a must, along with your state ID or driver's license and vehicle registration. If you have misplaced your title, do not worry. You can get a replacement by submitting Form VSD 190 to the Illinois Secretary of State for a small fee. Keep in mind that it takes about 10 to 15 business days to process.
If you are in a pinch, selling without a title might be doable with just your registration and a notarized bill of sale, but most buyers do prefer the title. It is always good to check what potential buyers are looking for.
When you decide to recycle your car, you’re connecting with a licensed buyer who’s got a knack for giving old vehicles a fresh start. Our priority? Parts and scrap metal. In Rockford, we stick to Illinois environmental rules, ensuring every car is treated properly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 735 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,736 gallons of fluids, and salvaged around 5,321 usable parts from vehicles. It’s all about reducing waste and letting those parts shine again.
The team made the car selling process straightforward and efficient. While the offer was lower than expected, it reflected the car's condition. They arrived promptly for the pickup and were friendly throughout the entire experience.
