Frequently Asked Questions

The main benefit of selling your own vehicle to an individual buyer is that you have full control over the price and any negotiations. In almost all cases, you’re likely to get more money for your car if you sell it yourself versus trading it in. Worried about the amount of time and effort it might take? That's what PrivateAuto's self-service application is for! We have everything you need in one place to close the deal safely.
