Sean Pour has spent nearly 20 years in the cash for junk cars business. As co-founder, he’s built pricing algorithms and helped thousands of people sell junk cars in Louisville.
I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Louisville, KY as of October, the market is trending down and offers have slipped from last month as dismantlers ease their bids and wholesale values put pressure on pricing. Even with that backdrop, demand is steady and cars are still moving. Sellers who time it well can still capture solid offers, but patience matters a bit more this month.
We continue to see a lot of Toyota RAV4 and Honda Accord deals. The citywide average payout is $586, with compact cars commonly landing between $351 and $591, while trucks and SUVs often range from $800 to $1,228. That spread reflects condition and mileage, but it sets a clear baseline for what most sellers can expect.
Turnaround stays quick. The median pickup time is 1 hours 17 minutes, and 89 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours. As for why people sell, 35 percent cite a failed inspection, 30 percent report engine problems, 18 percent have a missing catalytic converter, 13 percent mention collision or body damage, and 4 percent face transmission failure. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Yes, we’ve got you covered. We serve Louisville and nearby areas including Jeffersonville, New Albany, Clarksville, Shelbyville, Bardstown, Elizabethtown, Radcliff, Saint Matthews, Prospect, Fern Creek, and plenty more nearby.
So you are ready to part ways with your car in Kentucky? You will need a few things to make it official. A valid title is a must, along with a photo ID and the vehicle registration. If the title is gone missing, do not sweat it. You can get a replacement at any Kentucky County Clerk's office or online using form TC 96-182.
Got a car that is over 15 years old and does not have a title? You might be able to sell it with a notarized bill of sale and a police inspection. Just a heads up: form MVL-51 could be necessary for those older vehicles. And remember, all liens need to be cleared before you can sell. Easy peasy, right?
Recycling your car in Louisville isn’t just handing it off. it’s about giving it a new purpose. A licensed buyer will take care of it, ensuring every part and piece of scrap metal is used wisely. We’re committed to following Kentucky’s environmental rules so each vehicle is processed properly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 631 tons of metal, safely drained more than 3,959 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 5,819 usable parts. It’s all about reducing waste and letting those parts continue their journey.
I sold my car recently and the team made everything straightforward. Communication was clear and they arrived at my location in under 20 minutes. The whole process was quick and I would certainly recommend their services.
