Howdy folks in St. Paul, are you looking for cash for cars? Have you got an old car taking up space in your garage or driveway? It happens.
Maybe your old hooptie ground along for years, falling apart piece by piece until her last gasp.Maybe you picked up a restoration project years ago that has long since stalled out. You keep telling yourself that you’ll do a little work on it next weekend, but next weekend never comes. It’s only a matter of time before the spouse starts hinting at better ways to use the space.
Your relative left across the country or overseas and suckered you into providing free storage. Next thing you know, they’re not coming back to St. Paul and don’t care about the car anymore. You’ve got a 2-ton paperweight and a bald spot on your lawn.
No matter how you’ve come across a car you don’t need, it would be better off gone. Best case scenario, you get the clunker off your hands and get a fat stack of cash richer.
Imagine what you could do with the money. The funds could see you off on that vacation you keep postponing. Maybe you’d have a down payment for a boat to enjoy St. Paul’s beautiful waterways. Perhaps you’d just like some padding for your pockets in case of a rainy day.
Not so fast, though. All that would be nice if selling your used car wasn’t just as frustrating as having a useless hunk of junk on your hands.
Social media posts? Unless your buddy or his buddy needs a ride, nobody’s biting. Not to mention they’re sure to insist on a “friend price.” Even if they don’t, do you really want to sell a lemon to someone you know? Yikes.
Dealership? A professional salesman might love to take that ride off your hands if it looks good and runs well. As for the payout? Peanuts. Their job is selling cars, and they’ll waste your day trying to convince you to accept a trade credit for a new car.
Craigslist? If you want to open your email account up to spammers and scammers, be my guest. Negotiating with strangers online is a pain, and there’s no telling if they’ll show up after you’ve agreed on a deal.
Newspaper ad? You might get a nibble or two, but you might as well be playing the lottery. Nobody even reads those anymore.
Parking in public with a for-sale sign? That could work. But every day you spend waiting on a call, your car is out there and at risk for accidents or vandalism.
So that hunk of junk sits there, losing value day after day. If only there was an easy way to sell your car.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Saint Paul, MN as of October, local offers are holding steady from last month thanks to consistent parts demand. The market feels stable and bids are not swinging much week to week. Across the city the average payout is about $648. Compact cars usually land between $442 and $693, while trucks and SUVs often range from $925 to $1,844. That spread lines up with what buyers are paying for solid drivetrains and usable parts.
We are seeing a lot of Honda Civics and Subaru Outbacks come across our platform. Typical offers for a commuter Civic or an older Outback tend to hover near that city average, while stronger half ton trucks and larger SUVs continue to clear four figures. When you accept an offer, pickups happen fast. The median turnaround is roughly 1 hour 19 minutes, and 91 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours.
The reasons for selling right now are clear in the numbers. About 35% report collision or body damage, 28% cite transmission failure, and 17% have engine problems. Another 12% mention a missing catalytic converter, while 8% come in after a failed inspection. Those conditions shape pricing and explain why compact cars cluster in the mid hundreds and trucks often stretch higher. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
