Dealers compete.
You win.
Verified local dealers bid for your car in real time.
You get the top offer.
Already have an instant or trade-in offer? Upload it and let dealers bid against it. Every bid is out in the open, the price you accept is the price you’re paid, and as long as your car matches your listing, that price holds at pickup.
Free to list. You only pay $99 once your car sells.
Photos + Inspection PackageComplete listing package from local inspectors that come to you.
Bids that climb
Dealers compete live, so your price rises instead of stalling at one offer.
Verified buyers
Every bidder is a licensed local dealer, not a stranger from an online listing.
Sold in days
On the block Wednesday, top offer in hand by Thursday.
Paperwork handled
Verified local dealers take care of the loan payoff, title, and transfer.
How it works
List in minutes

Dealers compete
Verified local dealers place live bids against each other over a short auction window.
Sell and get paid
The top bid at or above your reserve wins. The dealer handles payoff, title and transfer. You get paid.
Cars open Wednesday in 20-minute slots starting at 11:00 AM ET. Every car listed by Tuesday 8:00 PM ET joins Wednesday's auction and runs 24 hours from its own start time, closing at that same time on Thursday. List after Tuesday 8:00 PM and your car joins the next auction.
