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 Newark.
I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Newark, NJ as of October, offers are trending upward as buyer competition increases and scrap values continue to firm. That shift is showing up in real bids on common rides like the Toyota Tacoma and the Honda Civic, with more buyers stepping in and keeping prices healthy. Pickups happen fast, which fits the current mood of sellers who want a quick sale without the hassle.
Across the city, typical offers are averaging about $652. Compact cars usually land between $456 and $715, while trucks and SUVs often run from $881 to $1,661. The Civic tends to slot into the compact band, and the Tacoma often falls into that higher truck range. It is a straightforward market right now, and clean titles or complete vehicles can still add a little lift on top.
Why people are selling is clear in the numbers. About 37% report a missing catalytic converter, 30% point to engine problems, and 20% cite collision or body damage. Another 7% mention a failed inspection, with 6% dealing with transmission failure. Pickups happen fast, with a median time around 1 hour 33 minutes, and 91% of cars are gone within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Absolutely, we do. We serve Newark and nearby areas including New York, NY, Jersey City, NJ, Elizabeth, NJ, Bayonne, NJ, Harrison, NJ, Union City, NJ, West New York, NJ, Fort Lee, NJ, Weehawken, NJ, Secaucus, NJ, and lots more close by.
When you're ready to sell your junk car in Newark, you'll need a valid title, a government ID, the registration, and all the keys. If your title's gone missing, don't sweat it too much. You can replace it by submitting form OS/SS-52 to the New Jersey MVC. Just keep in mind there’s a $60 fee and it can take about 4-6 weeks to get your new title.
For vehicles older than 10 years, some buyers are okay with just the registration and a bill of sale, which is nice if you're in a pinch. Just gather your paperwork, and we'll figure it out together.
Recycling your car means you’re handing it over to a licensed buyer who knows just what to do. It’s all about giving those old vehicles a fresh start. In Newark, we stick to New Jersey's environmental rules, so every car gets the care it needs. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 500 tons of metal. We’ve safely drained more than 2,568 gallons of fluids and recovered around 4,062 usable parts. It’s a smart way to keep waste in check and give those parts a chance to shine again.
I had a car with a blown head gasket that I needed to sell quickly. They picked it up just a couple of hours after my call on a Sunday, and I received my check right away. The team was friendly and professional, making the process smooth and easy.
