SellMax makes it as easy as possible to sell your used car because you’ve got better things to do. We pay cash for cars in Bangor regardless of the condition. Got a shiny ride that just doesn’t work for you anymore? Instead of trading it in or going through the pain and delays of a private sale, let us turn your car into cash so you can move on with your life.
Selling a car that doesn’t run or drive used to be difficult. You had to track down someone in Bangor who wanted it for parts and arrange to haul it. If they were from out of town, you had to figure out how to get it from Bangor to who knows where and that cuts into your payday.
When we say we pay cash for cars in Bangor, we mean it. That includes all cars in any condition. Even if they don’t run, we still love ‘em! You don’t need to find a buyer or a junk yard in Bangor that wants to pay you for scrap; now you can get cash for junk cars in Bangor from SellMax.
Whether your car is in mint condition, or dead on the side of the road, the process is super simple. You’ll just call our team and answer a few questions about the make, model, year and condition of the car. This information allows them to give you an offer right over the phone. Forget to charge your phone or can’t take right now? We have a solution for that too. You can also fill out an online form and have your offer emailed to you.
Your SellMax representative will set up a time to meet you, at your convenience, at your home, work, or wherever the car is located. We’ll dispatch a team to pick up your vehicle and get you paid. This can happen as soon as the day you call, depending on availability.
Sound easy? Good. Give us a call today and turn that car in your driveway into cash in your pocket.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Bangor, ME as of October, the market is stable and pricing looks flat compared with last month as parts demand and scrap inputs remain steady. The citywide average offer sits at $602. Compact cars usually land between $376 and $614, while trucks and SUVs often range from $891 to $2,016. Chevrolet Equinox and Kia K5 make up many of the vehicles we are buying, and offers on those models tend to track the city average unless condition bumps them higher within the band.
Why people are selling right now is clear in the numbers. Failed inspection drives 36 percent of sales. Missing catalytic converter accounts for 31 percent. Engine problems represent 25 percent. Collision or body damage is 6 percent. Transmission failure is 2 percent. That mix aligns with a market that is holding steady, where pricing is more about condition and parts value than sudden swings.
Pickup turnaround stays quick. Median pickup is roughly 1 hours 50 minutes, and 91 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. If you are weighing an offer, expect that compact pricing often hugs the $376 to $614 band, while trucks and SUVs can reach the $891 to $2,016 range when demand lines up. We’ll be here every month bringing new data.
You bet we do. We serve Bangor and nearby areas including Brewer, Orono, Old Town, Hampden, Ellsworth, Lincoln, Bucksport, Mount Desert, Bar Harbor, Castine, and more all around the area.
Ready to say goodbye to that old car? In Maine, you'll need a valid title, a government-issued photo ID, and your vehicle registration. It is a straightforward little list, but it is key to the process.
If you have misplaced your title, do not worry too much. You can fill out form MVT-8 for a Motor Vehicle Title Replacement. Just keep in mind that it costs $50. 00 and can take about 6-8 weeks to arrive. So, a little patience goes a long way.
When you recycle your car, you’re making a smart choice by handing it over to a licensed buyer who knows just how to give old vehicles a new purpose. Our focus is on the essentials: parts and scrap metal. In Bangor, we make sure to follow Maine’s environmental guidelines, so every car is treated with care. This year, we’ve recycled over 246 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,176 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,085 usable parts from vehicles in Bangor. It’s a great way to reduce waste and help those parts continue their journey.
The team made selling my car a hassle-free experience. They provided clear directions and arrived at my location in under 20 minutes. Overall, everything went smoothly and I appreciated their support.
