Sean Pour has spent nearly 20 years in the cash for junk cars business. As co-founder, he’s built pricing algorithms and helped thousands of people sell junk cars in Jersey City.
I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Jersey City, NJ as of October, pricing is running a bit stronger than last month thanks to tighter supply and healthier bids from recyclers, and overall the trend is up. That has translated into steadier offers across segments without the spikes we sometimes see when inventory swings too quickly.
The most common cars we are buying here right now are the Nissan Rogue and Ford Explorer, which line up with the strong SUV appetite. Citywide, the typical offer is landing around 618. Compact cars usually come in between 362 and 518, while trucks and SUVs tend to range from 800 to 1339. If you are comparing timelines as well as payouts, pickups happen fast, so sellers are not waiting long to wrap things up.
Why people are selling is clear in the data. Collision or body damage leads at 31 percent, followed by failed inspection at 29 percent and engine problems at 27 percent. We also see missing catalytic converter at 10 percent and transmission failure at 3 percent. On logistics, the median pickup sits at 1 hours 23 minutes, and 89 percent of vehicles are off the driveway within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Sure do. We serve Jersey City and nearby areas including Newark, Hoboken, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Weehawken, Bayonne, Union City, Secaucus, and many other nearby spots.
When you're ready to sell your junk car in New Jersey, it's pretty straightforward. You will need a valid title, a government ID, the registration, and all the keys. If you have misplaced your title, no worries. You can get a replacement from the New Jersey MVC by submitting form OS/SS-52 for a $60 fee, along with proof of identity and vehicle details. Just keep in mind that this process can take 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. So, it is always good to check what works best for you. You are almost there.
When you recycle your car, you're handing it off to a licensed buyer who knows just what to do with those old wheels. It's all about reclaiming parts and scrap metal here. In Jersey City, we stick to New Jersey's environmental rules, ensuring every vehicle gets the proper treatment. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 784 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,680 gallons of fluids, and salvaged around 4,479 usable parts from cars in Jersey City. It’s a smart way to reduce waste and keep those parts in action.
Selling my car was a smooth process. The team responded quickly and handled the paperwork in no time, even coming to pick it up on a rainy Sunday. Later, when I realized I left some items inside, they promptly returned everything to me.
