SellMax's original cash for junk cars service started in San Diego. But, we are proud to now be operating in Paterson. Paterson is the third largest city in New Jersey, and full of history. It is the home of the historic Lambert Castle, Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park, and the Paterson Museum. The history in this town dates back to 1791, and the townspeople are proud of its heritage. SellMax of Paterson isn’t historical, but it is pretty important to the town. Our company has added a new twist to the car selling situation. Before SellMax you were stuck with the traditional options of selling your car; trade-in, private party selling, or even hauling your old jalopy to the junkyard in Paterson. Not anymore.

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 Paterson.
I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Paterson, NJ as of October, offers are running lower than last month as dismantlers are bidding more cautiously and wholesale values are putting pressure on pricing. Hyundai Sonata and Kia Soul are showing up most often, and we are keeping pickups quick for folks who decide to sell.
Citywide, the average payout is about $601. Compact cars usually land between $381 and $521, while trucks and SUVs often exceed $1,000 and can reach $1,425. That mix is what we are seeing on the ground, with Sonatas and Souls making up a solid share of recent buys and pricing tracking within those bands.
Why people are selling this month breaks down clearly. Missing catalytic converter cases account for 34 percent. Engine problems make up 25 percent. Collision or body damage is 23 percent. Failed inspection is 15 percent, and transmission failure is 3 percent. Turnaround stays quick. The median pickup is 2 hours 15 minutes, with 94 percent wrapped up within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Absolutely, we do. We serve Paterson and nearby areas including Newark, Jersey City, Hackensack, Clifton, East Orange, Union City, Englewood, Bergenfield, Fort Lee, Montclair, and lots more close by.
Ready to part ways with your car in Paterson? You will need a few important documents to make it happen. First up, you will need a valid title, your government ID, the car's registration, and all the keys. If the title has gone missing, you can get a replacement through the New Jersey MVC. Just fill out form OS/SS-52, pay a $60 fee, and provide proof of your identity and ownership. Keep in mind it might take 4 to 6 weeks to receive that duplicate title.
For those older vehicles, some buyers might accept just the registration and a bill of sale instead of a title. So, if your ride is over 10 years old, it is worth checking your options. Happy selling.
When you decide to recycle your car, you’re entrusting it to a licensed buyer who knows the ropes of giving old rides a fresh start. Here in Paterson, we’re all about the essentials: salvaging parts and reclaiming scrap metal. We make sure to stick to New Jersey's environmental rules, so every vehicle is treated with care. This year, we’ve managed to recycle over 359 tons of metal, safely removed more than 2,560 gallons of fluids, and retrieved around 5,871 usable parts from cars in Paterson. It’s a small way of reducing waste and letting those parts shine again in their new homes.
The team made selling my car a straightforward experience. Communication was clear and they arrived at my location in under 20 minutes. Overall, the process was smooth and hassle-free.
