I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Lincoln, NE as of October, the market is tilting upward. We are seeing stronger bids as buyer competition heats up and scrap values hold firm, which is lifting offers across the board. That momentum is showing up in day to day quotes and final payouts, and it mirrors what our buyers around town are experiencing.
On the ground, we are buying a lot of Toyota Tacoma and Ford Fusion models. Typical offers average 671 across the city. Compact cars usually land between 418 and 582, while trucks and SUVs come in from 800 to 1821. That spread reflects the mix we see right now, with solid demand on light trucks and practical sedans keeping pricing steady.
Tow times are short. Median pickup sits at 3 hours 54 minutes, and 92 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours. Seller motivations are clear too. Failed inspection accounts for 36 percent, engine problems for 36 percent, missing catalytic converter for 15 percent, collision or body damage for 10 percent, and transmission failure for 3 percent. We’ll be here keeping you updated as trends evolve.
Sure do. We serve Lincoln and nearby areas including Omaha, Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Lincoln, Ashland, Waverly, Seward, Fremont, York, and many other nearby spots.
Ready to part ways with your car in Nebraska? You will need a few things handy. First, grab your valid title, government ID, registration, and all keys. If you have lost the title, do not worry too much. You can replace it at any Nebraska DMV office or online by filling out Form VST001 and paying the fee.
For vehicles over 15 years old without a title, there is a workaround. You can use Form VTR02C along with a surety bond that is worth 1. 5 times the car's value. With the right documents, you are all set to sell to any licensed buyer in the area.
Recycling your car here in Lincoln means passing it on to a licensed buyer who knows just what to do with it. Our main focus is on those valuable parts and scrap metal. With Nebraska’s environmental rules in mind, we make sure every vehicle is recycled responsibly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 825 tons of metal, safely drained more than 7,813 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,043 usable parts from vehicles in Lincoln. It’s all about reducing waste and giving those parts a chance to shine again.
I sold my car recently and the team made it a smooth experience. They provided clear directions and arrived at my location in under 20 minutes. The entire process was straightforward and the service was commendable.
