Nice Cars

We’ll pay Cash for Cars in Philadelphia.

Damaged Cars

One of the tailgate lights is broken from that unknown car that backed into you in the parking lot. You never replaced the visor that you accidently ripped down that one time you didn’t recognize your own strength.

We pay Cash for Cars in Philadelphia. Even if they’re damaged.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Philadelphia, PA as of October, the market has cooled a bit. Offers are trending lower than last month because dismantlers are bidding softer and wholesale values are under pressure. That softer backdrop has trimmed some bids, but activity is steady. Citywide the average payout sits around $696, and we are still seeing frequent sales of the Nissan Altima and Kia Soul.

Condition is driving outcomes. Top reasons sellers are coming to us include missing catalytic converter at 33 percent, engine problems at 27 percent, failed inspection at 19 percent, collision or body damage at 16 percent, and transmission failure at 5 percent. Compact cars usually land between $460 and $588, while trucks and SUVs often range from $800 to $1,743. Altimas and Souls often center near the city average when mileage and wear are typical, while rough examples tend to fall toward the lower end of those ranges.

Our response is rapid, with a median pickup around 1 hours 29 minutes, and 90 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours. If you need to move quickly, that pace helps you capture current pricing as bids shift with the broader market. We’ll be here every month bringing new data.

Cash For Cars Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy junk cars near me?

Yes, we’ve got you covered. We serve Philadelphia and nearby areas including Camden, Cherry Hill, Burlington, Trenton, Wilmington, Upper Darby, West Chester, Norristown, Levittown, Langhorne, and plenty more nearby.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

So, you're ready to part ways with your car in Philadelphia? You'll want to gather a few important items first. Make sure you have a valid title, a photo ID, the vehicle registration, and all the keys. It is like putting together a little treasure chest of paperwork.

If you have misplaced the title, do not fret. You can snag a replacement at the PennDOT Driver License Center or online with Form MV-380. Some buyers might even consider a titleless car if you have your registration and ID, but keep in mind the offer might be on the lower side. And do not forget to take off those license plates before you hand over the keys.

How are junk cars recycled in Philadelphia?

When you recycle your car, you’re handing it off to a licensed buyer who knows how to give old rides a fresh start. Here in Philadelphia, we’re all about what counts: parts and scrap metal. We make sure to follow Pennsylvania's environmental guidelines, so you can rest easy knowing every car is managed properly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 144 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,891 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,976 usable parts from vehicles in Philadelphia. It’s a win-win for the environment and keeps those parts in action for a little longer.

Our customers love us!

The team provided excellent service when I junked my car, even helping me with the paperwork I had forgotten about. They responded quickly to my call and offered the necessary information to complete the transfer. If I ever need to junk another vehicle, I will definitely reach out to them again.
