How buying worksHow selling works

For buyers

Buy a vehicle from an owner

Go from browsing to a protected checkout without dealer middlemen.

  1. Browse owner listings

    Explore cars and trucks listed directly by owners—no dealer markup, no lot fees.

  2. Create an account & verify

    Sign in when you are ready to save favorites or message a seller. Phone and identity verification unlock trusted buyer actions.

  3. Inquire or save

    Ask questions on a listing or save vehicles you want to revisit while you compare options.

  4. Start a secure transaction

    When you are ready to buy, use Start Secure Transaction on the listing for a protected checkout path with the seller.

For sellers

Sell your vehicle like a pro

Turn a VIN into a retail-quality listing, then manage interest from your dashboard.

  1. Enter your VIN

    Generate a professional, retail-style listing in minutes from your vehicle identification number.

  2. Review & publish

    Polish photos, pricing, and details in your seller dashboard, then publish when it looks right.

  3. Respond & close securely

    Answer buyer inquiries and complete the deal when a buyer starts a secure transaction on your listing.
