I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Elizabeth, NJ as of October, prices are tilting lower as parts demand cools and inventory builds up. The trend is down right now, so value expectations should be set with that in mind.
Across the city, the typical offer is landing around 632 dollars. Compact cars usually come in between 387 and 528, while trucks and SUVs tend to range from 818 to 1,425. We keep seeing a steady stream of familiar daily drivers, with the Honda Accord and the Kia K5 among the most common cars changing hands. Those figures line up with what our buyers are seeing on the ground and reflect the current appetite from recyclers and exporters.
Why people are selling is clear in the numbers. Failed inspection is the top reason at 42 percent. Engine problems account for 29 percent, transmission failure is 19 percent, collision or body damage is 7 percent, and missing catalytic converter shows up in 3 percent of cases. Tow times are short, with a median pickup of 2 hours 13 minutes, and 91 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

If you're looking to sell your junk car in Elizabeth, you'll need a few important documents. Have your valid title, government ID, registration, and all the keys handy. If you've misplaced your title, don’t worry too much. You can apply for a replacement through the New Jersey MVC by filling out form OS/SS-52 and paying a $60 fee. Just keep in mind that this process takes about 4 to 6 weeks.
If your car is over 10 years old, some buyers might accept just the registration and a bill of sale instead of the title. It's always worth checking.
