Yes, this means we pay cash for junk cars in Seattle too. Whether your car is running or not, new or old, in great shape or ready for the scrap heap, we want to pay you for it.
We're located in Seattle WA and we buy junk cars. We purchase cars, trucks, vans and suvs, and we buy them fast; we are not a car seller or dealership.

Have you listed a car for sale in the paper or online, but had no takers? Are you tired of dealing with looky-loos and hagglers and getting nowhere?
Perhaps you've attempted to trade in your car at a dealership and been low-balled or turned down. Maybe that car in your driveway doesn't run and you just can't figure out how to get rid of it.
We pay cold, hard cash in all these situations. If you've got a vehicle to sell, we're here to buy it without a bunch of hassle and inconvenience.
We'll take just about any car you have, even if it doesn't run, even if it's dented and rusty, even if it's a junker. We'll pay cash for your junk cars throughout all of Seattle.
If your car is a newer model or an old clunker, American or foreign made, running great or not running at all, in pristine condition or oxidized and banged up, we want to buy it from you. We formulate our offer to you based on various considerations, including:
The cars below are just a sample of the cars we buy around the Seattle area. In addition, many of the vehicles below had mechanical and cosmetic issues. Such as being unable to pass smog and having a rebuilt or salvaged title. These vehicles also vary in year, make and model.
We buy junk cars too and each junk car is different, so each offer is different; call us to discuss your car and let us make our best offer.
We are a local service, with an office in Seattle WA. We purchase all junk cars. No need to drive all over town looking for the best deal; just call us and get an offer, and we will come to you. We'll just need a zip code and an address to meet you at.
If you have a junk car, all you have to do is call our company. We will be able to send someone out to your home, office or whatever location you prefer to assess the value of your vehicle. Alternatively, you can use our online offer form to see what we can offer on it.
We will make you an instant offer because we provide free quotes. If you find that offer acceptable, we will pay you cash for the car, plus free junk car removal.
Our car buyers in Seattle are efficient and they are trained to be able to see value in any car, regardless of the current damage on the vehicle. You won't be required to detail, wash or otherwise clean the interior of the car.

If you happen to have a car that is in really terrible condition, we'll most likely just be using it for the scrap metal. In these cases, the price range fluctuates based on the current market rate of metal.
At present, it usually falls in the range of $50.00 to $500.00 depending on the weight of the car. The price of metal is reflected by how in demand metal is. For instance, when a lot of new construction is being built it often results in the price of metal rising.
At SellMax we purchase cars paid for or not. But there is a caveat. In order for us to buy the car we must pay off the remaining
balance. So, we will write a check to the lien holder for the amount owed, and the rest will be given to you.
We operate seven days a week. We provide quotes on cars 24/7, but we typically schedule the purchasing of cars during regular business hours. Being open seven days, a week has allowed us to maintain being one of the top junk car buying services in the nation.
We make the payment on the spot. So, you don't have to wait for any check in the mail. In addition, we assist with the paperwork that needs to be filled out in order to finalize the sale.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Seattle, WA as of October, the local market has cooled. Offers are coming in lower than last month as demand for used parts has softened while resale supply remains high. Even with softer pricing, pickup remains fast.
We are buying a lot of Ford Explorers and Kia Fortes. Citywide, the average payout is about $676. Compact cars usually land between $475 and $698, while trucks and SUVs often fall between $901 and $1,960. Pickup turnaround stays quick. The median pickup time is 1 hours 32 minutes, and 94 percent of vehicles are collected within 24 hours.
Why are owners selling now? Engine problems lead at 28 percent, followed by missing catalytic converter at 24 percent. Failed inspection accounts for 18 percent, while transmission failure and collision or body damage each sit at 15 percent. If you are weighing timing, keep in mind the market is leaning down today, so clean titles and complete documentation can help you capture the stronger end of the ranges. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
Sure do. We serve Seattle and nearby areas including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Tacoma, Everett, Renton, Bothell, Kent, Issaquah, Federal Way, and plenty more nearby.
Ready to say goodbye to that old ride? In Seattle, you'll want to have a few important documents on hand. A valid title, photo ID, and vehicle registration are your main players in this process.
If you’ve misplaced your title, no worries. You can replace it through the Washington Department of Licensing by filling out form TD-420-040 and paying a fee. Sometimes, you might be able to use form TD-420-041 (Affidavit in Lieu of Title) instead, but this usually requires some extra paperwork and may lead to a lower offer. Just keep that in mind as you navigate the process.
When it’s time to say goodbye to your old ride, it’s not just a farewell. You’re sending it off to a licensed buyer who knows the ropes of breathing new life into those vehicles. In Seattle, we stick closely to Washington’s environmental guidelines, ensuring that every car is treated properly. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 261 tons of metal, safely drained more than 5,238 gallons of fluids, and salvaged around 4,658 usable parts from cars here. It’s all about reducing waste and giving those parts a chance to shine again.
Selling my Toyota Matrix was a breeze with this team. They provided a fair cash offer, handled the paperwork, and even picked up the car from my home, making the entire process quick and hassle-free.
