Work smarter, not harder. Sounds straightforward enough, right? But rarely do we actually follow this advice, instead bogging ourselves down and overcomplicating things because we don’t realize what options are out there.
Take selling your used car, for example. The standard options in most people’s minds is to trade it in when they purchase a new vehicle, or to sell it to a private party. But why would you put so much effort into something that doesn’t have to be that hard?
Here at SellMax we know your time is valuable, and we aim to make selling your car a worry-free process.

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 Albuquerque.
I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Albuquerque, NM as of October, local offers are a bit lower than last month. Demand for used parts has eased and there is still plenty of resale supply, so prices reflect that shift. The overall trend is down right now, but activity remains steady and buyers are selective about condition. If you are weighing a sale, it helps to know where typical offers are landing this month.
On the ground we are seeing a lot of Chevrolet Malibu and Kia Forte coming through. Citywide the average payout is about $587. For pricing ranges, compact cars usually land between $352 and $594. Larger trucks and SUVs tend to fall between $879 and $1,379, and when condition is stronger those often clear the $1,000 mark.
Why people are selling is clear in the data. Engine problems drive 43 percent of sales, transmission failure 26 percent, missing catalytic converter 17 percent, failed inspection 8 percent, and collision or body damage 6 percent. Tow times are short, with median pickup at 2 hours 56 minutes and 89 percent completed within 24 hours. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Yes, we do. We serve Albuquerque and nearby areas including Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, Belen, Corrales, East Mountain, Isleta Village Proper, Placitas, South Valley, and lots more close by.
Ready to part ways with your car in Albuquerque? You will need your valid title, a government-issued photo ID, and the vehicle registration. If the title has gone missing, do not worry. Just swing by the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division and grab a duplicate by submitting Form MVD-10021 along with the proper ID and fee.
If you cannot find that title at all, you might still have options. A notarized bill of sale and Form MVD-10009 (Affidavit of Vehicle Purchase) could work, but be prepared for some extra documentation. It is all about making sure the process goes smoothly for you.
When you decide to recycle your car in Albuquerque, you're teaming up with a licensed buyer who’s all about giving those old rides a new purpose. We keep it simple and focus on the essentials: salvaging parts and scrap metal. In Albuquerque, we stick to New Mexico's environmental guidelines, ensuring every vehicle is treated with care. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 429 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,133 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 5,373 usable parts from vehicles in Albuquerque. It's a win-win for the environment and keeps those parts in circulation.
The team was very helpful when I needed to complete the car transfer process after junking my vehicle. They quickly provided the necessary DMV link and information, making everything easy for me.
