I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Saint Louis, MO as of October, offers have eased from last month as dismantlers are bidding more cautiously and wholesale values are under pressure. The market is trending down, so pricing feels softer than what we saw a few weeks ago. Even with that shift, the average payout across the city is about $630.
We are seeing a steady mix of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Hyundai Tucson coming through. Compact cars usually land between $374 and $525, while many trucks and SUVs clear $1,000 and can reach the high end near $1,972. Given the share of mechanical issues showing up, that spread is showing up often in actual quotes.
Why people are selling is clear in the numbers. Engine problems account for 40%. Failed inspection is 29%. Collision or body damage is 14%, transmission failure is 13%, and 4% involve a missing catalytic converter. Tow times are short, with a median pickup of 2 hours 54 minutes, and 91% of vehicles get picked up within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Yes, we’ve got you covered. We serve Saint Louis and nearby areas including Belleville, Florissant, O'Fallon, Chesterfield, University City, Edwardsville, Maryland Heights, Clayton, Kirkwood, Hazelwood, and many more.
In Saint Louis, selling your junk car means you'll need a few important documents. First off, a valid title is essential, along with a government-issued photo ID and your vehicle registration. If you've misplaced your title, no worries. You can get a replacement at the Missouri Department of Revenue. Just fill out Form 108 and pay the fee.
If your car is over 10 years old, you can also use a notarized bill of sale with Form 5049 in place of the title. Just remember to remove those license plates and clear any liens before you hand over the keys. It is all about keeping things neat and tidy.
In Saint Louis, recycling your car is like giving it a fresh start with a licensed buyer who knows the ropes. We take care to focus on what’s important: salvaging parts and scrap metal. Following Missouri’s environmental guidelines is key, so you can trust that every car gets the right treatment. This year, we’ve recycled over 741 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,228 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,674 usable parts from vehicles in Saint Louis. It’s a win-win for the environment and gives those parts a chance to shine again.
