I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Lexington, KY as of October, offers are trending lower than last month as demand for used parts cools while resale supply stays high. The average payout across the city sits near $610. Compact cars usually land between $373 and $559, while trucks and SUVs tend to come in between $800 and $1,184. We are seeing a steady stream of familiar models, with the Honda CR-V and Jeep Grand Cherokee showing up often.
Why people are selling is clear in the numbers. Missing catalytic converter leads at 38 percent. Engine problems account for 21 percent, transmission failure is 16 percent, failed inspection is 14 percent, and collision or body damage makes up 11 percent. These patterns line up with what we are hearing from local owners who want straightforward offers without the hassle of repairs.
Pickups happen fast, with a median pickup time of 1 hours 38 minutes, and 93 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours. That quick turnaround helps sellers lock in offers in a market that is easing. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Yes, we do. We serve Lexington and nearby areas including Richmond, Nicholasville, Georgetown, Winchester, Versailles, Frankfort, Danville, Berea, Lawrenceburg, Paris, and many more.
Ready to part ways with your junk car? In Lexington, you’ll need a valid title, a photo ID, and the registration. If you’ve misplaced your title, don’t worry. You can replace it at any Kentucky County Clerk's office or online with form TC 96-182.
Got a vehicle over 15 years old and no title? You might be in luck. A notarized bill of sale and a police inspection could work for you. Just keep in mind that all liens need to be cleared before you can sell. Let’s get you set up to make that sale.
When you decide to recycle your car, you’re handing it off to a licensed buyer who specializes in giving old vehicles a fresh start. Our focus is straightforward: we prioritize parts and scrap metal. In Lexington, we stick to Kentucky’s environmental guidelines, ensuring each car is processed responsibly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 713 tons of metal, safely removed more than 3,723 gallons of fluids, and salvaged around 5,264 usable parts from vehicles right here in Lexington. It’s a smart way to cut down on waste while keeping valuable parts in circulation.
I needed to dispose of a car with a blown head gasket and called them on a Sunday afternoon. Within a couple of hours, the car was picked up and I received a check right away. The team was professional and friendly, making the whole process smooth and easy.
