Cash for Cars in Columbus, Ohio

There will eventually come a time in your life when you feel the need to toss your old beloved car you spent years with. You will need to buy a new one. Your previous car may not have the new updates you’ve been wishing for, and it frankly, it isn’t the sweet ride it used to be.

 

As we all know, selling a car in Columbus, Ohio can be a hassle. We may even dread the thought of it. Where do you start? Well, you can start with SellMax for one.

You heard this right. We will take all cars! Getting cash for junk cars in Columbus, Ohio isn’t a bad deal. This is as good as it sounds!

What is SellMax?

Let’s talk about our company for a quick moment. SellMax buys individual’s cars through their secure and trust-worthy system they run.

 

Because of this new idea, we decided Columbus would need our new service. In the end, we ended up setting a location here in the big city. However, SellMax isn’t just limited to your Columbus, Ohio location. We’re a well-known company around the different states and we are growing in popularity! Our first location started off paying cash for junk cars in San Diego. Shortly after we began offering cash for cars in Portland.

Our Car Buying Process In Columbus Will Shock You!

This is the next and most important segment of the car-selling process with us. Make sure you’re ready to commit to our service in Columbus when you complete these next four steps.

 

SellMax guarantees you that our process is much easier than the usual long and stress-filled car-selling can be. In fact, you could sell us your vehicle from your own room if you so desire to! Here’s how!

 

1. The Informational Form

 

This is important because we want to give you the very best offer. The first step in the process involves our customers letting us know a bit about your car. It’s okay, we want to get to know them! A background check one might say. Either way, the information we need from you is the vehicle’s model, the location, the car’s year, and the present condition it’s in.

2. We Will Give You Your Junk Car Quote

 

What’s your car’s worth? Good question. Well, once we have all of the details about your vehicle, we will provide you with a satisfying and hopefully a jaw-dropping price that is sure to be higher than what you expected! SellMax will do our best to give you the best cash for your vehicle in Columbus, Ohio!

3. We Will Come To You And Offer Free Junk Car Removal

 

You heard that right. You don’t have to flick your TV off and worry about finding someone to help travel through the busy streets of Columbus to dump your vehicle off.

 

We personally will venture out to your location in your Columbus area. We will pick up your vehicle too. This will be free of charge!

 

It’s a good deal. So, while our team member is there, they will give your vehicle a quick but thorough examination, and have you sign some follow-up forms that make the sale of your used car official!

 

This reduces your much unneeded stress of going to the DMV yourself. You’ll also have a bit more to look forward to.

4. We Will Pay You Your Cash In Columbus!

Uh-huh! Probably the best part of your experience. We will give you the promised cash to you. We will then tow or maybe drive (depending on its condition) your vehicle away.

 

No catches either! It is that simple. Well, I probably know what you’re thinking. Everything does have a catch. But SellMax doesn’t believe in any surprise fees. The cash amount that is officially quoted is what you will 100% receive. Our company lives on this fact!

Sean’s Expert Take on the Columbus Market

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 Columbus.

    I'm Sean Pour, cofounder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Columbus, OH as of October, pricing is tilting lower right now as parts demand softens and inventory builds up. The trend is down, so sellers are seeing tighter bids than earlier in the year, though strong units still attract attention.

    We are buying a lot of Honda Accords and Subaru Outbacks at the moment. Citywide, typical offers are coming in around $637. Compact cars usually land between $424 and $683, while trucks and SUVs often reach between $885 and $1,985. That mix reflects where buyers are finding value as the yard mix resets.

    Pickup is quick. The median handoff is 3 hours 47 minutes, and 93 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours, so the response is rapid. As for why people are selling, 42 percent report a missing catalytic converter, 34 percent cite engine problems, 22 percent mention collision or body damage, 2 percent have transmission failure, and 0 percent note a failed inspection. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

Cash For Cars Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy junk cars near me?

Sure do. We serve Columbus and nearby areas including Dublin, Westerville, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg, Pickerington, Lancaster, Newark, Marysville, Delaware, Hilliard, and many more.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

Getting ready to sell your junk car in Columbus? You will want to gather a few important documents first. A valid title is a must, along with a government-issued photo ID and your vehicle registration. If you have misplaced your title, do not worry. You can replace it at any Ohio BMV office or online by filling out form BMV 3771 and paying a fee.

If you do not have the title, it is sometimes possible to sell with a notarized bill of sale and your old registration, but that may limit your options. Just remember to clear any liens and remove your license plates before you hand over the keys.

How are junk cars recycled in Columbus?

When you recycle your car, you're connecting with a licensed buyer who knows the ins and outs of giving those old rides a fresh start. In Columbus, we zero in on what really counts: parts and scrap metal. Plus, we play by Ohio's environmental rules, ensuring every vehicle is processed the right way. This year alone, we've recycled over 403 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,985 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,825 usable parts from vehicles in Columbus. It’s a great way to reduce waste and let those parts go on living their best lives.

Our customers love us!

The team was very helpful when I needed to junk my car for the first time. They guided me through the paperwork process and provided the necessary DMV information after I forgot to complete the transfer. Their quick and courteous service made a stressful situation much easier.
