Three ways to sell your vehicle
Each one works. They just ask very different things of you.
Trade it in at a dealership
A trade-in is convenient when you’re buying your next car from the same dealer. The value usually goes toward that one purchase as credit, so it only works if you’re buying, and you negotiate the trade and the new car at the same time.
Sell it to a private party
A private sale through a classifieds site or online marketplace can work if you have the time. You take the photos, write the ad, sort through messages from buyers, arrange test drives with strangers, and make sure their cash or cashier’s check is real before you sign over the title.
Sell it online with us
Sell My Car Online is a car-buying service built to skip all of that. Share your vehicle’s details on our website, review your offer, and choose a time for free home pickup. We walk you through the paperwork and pay you at pickup.
Whichever way you go, it pays to compare offers from a few car buyers. Ours is free and comes with no obligation, so it’s an easy one to have in hand.Get my free offer Compare every way to sell your car
It’s still got miles. You’ve got other plans.
The daily commute. The weekend trips. The car that always got you there. It still has somewhere to go, even if you’re ready for something different.
Upgrading, downsizing, or making room in the driveway? Tell us about your car. We’ll help you move on without the runaround.

A few things you might be wondering.
Let’s make selling your car feel simple.
How does selling my car online work?
Start with your vehicle details and condition, review your offer, and choose whether to move forward. If you accept, arrange pickup and complete the sale.
Can I sell an older car with high mileage?
Yes. Older and high-mileage cars are welcome. Tell us about your car as it is, scratches and miles included, and your offer is based on its real condition.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. Your offer comes with no obligation. Review it, take your time, and only move forward if it works for you.
Is pickup really free?
Yes. Pickup from your driveway is included at no cost. You choose a time that fits your schedule and we come to you.
When do I get paid?
At pickup. Finish the paperwork, hand over the keys, and get paid on the spot.
What information do I need to get started?
Just the basics: your car’s year, make and model, its mileage, and its condition. Have your title handy for pickup.
What kinds of vehicles do you buy?
Cars, trucks, SUVs and vans, including older vehicles and ones with plenty of miles, dents or scratches. Tell us about yours as it is.
Is selling my car online safe?
Yes. There are no strangers from an ad coming to look at it, no test drives, and no payment you can’t verify. You deal with one company from offer to pickup, and you’re paid when the paperwork is signed.
How is this different from a dealership trade-in?
A trade-in usually only works if you’re buying your next car from that dealer, and its value goes toward that purchase. We buy your vehicle outright, whether or not you’re buying another one.
Can I sell a car I still owe money on?
Not to us while the loan is open. We need a valid title with no loans or liens on it, so pay off the loan and get the lien released first. Your lender can tell you the payoff amount and how long the release takes.
Do I need to be there at pickup?
You, or someone you authorize, needs to be there to hand over the keys and sign the paperwork. We’ll confirm the details when we schedule your pickup.
What happens to my plates?
It depends on your state. Some states require you to remove your plates; others keep them with the vehicle. After the sale, cancel your insurance and registration, and file a release of liability if your state requires one.
How fast can I sell my car?
Requesting an offer takes just a few details, and pickup is scheduled around you, so you can sell your car quickly without rearranging your week.
