Sell Your Car On PrivateAuto
PrivateAuto is the world’s first and only fully transactional marketplace for private-party car sales. While there are many websites on which to sell your car, they lack transactional infrastructure. They connect you with a buyer, and leave the two of you to muddle through the various deal stages on your own.
PrivateAuto gives you self-serve tools for every stage of the deal, from secure messaging to test drive scheduling to docu-signing to instant, fee-free payments of any amount.
Create your PrivateAuto listing to start the process, and prepare to be amazed.
If you want to list your car on other sites, we understand. Platforms such as Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist give you a lot of exposure to potential buyers. But we still want you to transact safely and securely. That’s why DealNow was created.
DealNow allows you to start a transaction anywhere and close the sale, anytime. You’ll be able to leverage our speed, security, and convenience to get the deal done and get paid. Just invite your buyer to your own personal dealroom on DealNow and enjoy the fast-track transaction flow.
