Four Simple Steps to
Get Paid
Our process is designed to be fast, transparent, and completely hassle-free. No dealership pressure, no lowball offers — just a fair price backed by our network.
Tell Us About Your Vehicle
Enter your VIN, license plate, or make and model on our offer page. Add details like mileage, condition, and any modifications so we can build the most accurate offer possible.
Our Network Competes for Your Car
Once you submit your vehicle details, we instantly share your listing with our network of 10,000+ verified dealers and private buyers across the country. They compete to give you the highest offer — so you don't have to negotiate.
Review & Accept Your Best Offer
We present you with the highest offer from our network. There is no pressure and no obligation — review the offer at your own pace, ask questions, and accept when you're ready. If you're not happy, you walk away for free.
Get Your Check — Same Day
Once you accept, we schedule a convenient pickup or drop-off. After a quick title check and any applicable payoff verification, you receive a check in hand the same day. No waiting for bank transfers, no delays.
Our Dealer & Buyer Network
Why Our Network Gets
You More Money
Traditional dealerships only have one buyer — themselves. We have over 10,000. That competition drives your offer up, not down.
Verified Dealer Network
Every dealer in our network is verified and licensed. They're actively looking for inventory, which means they're motivated to offer you a competitive price.
Private Buyer Access
Beyond dealers, we also connect you with private buyers who often pay more than wholesale — especially for popular makes, models, and low-mileage vehicles.
Nationwide Reach
Our network spans all 50 states. Even if demand is low in your area, we find buyers across the country who want exactly your vehicle.
Competitive Bidding
Buyers compete for your car in real time. This auction-style approach consistently produces offers 10–20% higher than a single-dealer quote.
Your Info Stays Private
We never share your personal contact information with buyers until you accept an offer. You stay in control throughout the entire process.
Fast Turnaround
Our network responds quickly. Most sellers receive their best offer within hours of submitting their vehicle details — not days or weeks.
Getting Paid
Payment & Paperwork —
We Handle Everything
We take care of all the details so you don't have to. From title transfers to payoff coordination, our team handles it start to finish.
Check in Hand Same Day
Once your title is verified and any loan payoff is confirmed, you receive a check on the spot — the same day as pickup or drop-off. No waiting, no wire transfers.
We Handle the Title Transfer
Our team manages all DMV paperwork and title transfer documentation. You just sign — we take care of filing and submitting everything on your behalf.
Loan Payoff Coordination
If your vehicle has an outstanding loan, we work directly with your lender to coordinate the payoff. You receive the difference between the offer and your remaining balance.
Free Vehicle Pickup
We come to you. Schedule a pickup at your home, office, or any convenient location. Our team arrives on time and handles the vehicle from there — no towing fees.
Quick Vehicle Inspection
At pickup, a brief inspection confirms the vehicle matches your description. As long as everything checks out, payment is issued immediately on the spot.
No Hidden Fees
The offer you accept is the amount you receive. We never charge seller fees, processing fees, or commissions. Our service is completely free to sellers.

So You Don't Have To
Think of it like ordering a custom car — new or pre-owned. Tell us exactly what you want and our network of 10,000+ dealers and private sellers goes to work finding the closest match at the best available price. No lot-hopping, no pressure, no wasted weekends.
Tell Us What You Want
Fill out our simple wish-list form. Tell us the body style, make and model, budget, mileage range, must-have features, preferred colors, and your location. The more detail you give us, the closer the match we can find. You can be as specific or as flexible as you like — we work with both.
We Search the Entire Network
Your wish list is immediately shared with our nationwide network of verified dealers and private sellers who are actively looking for buyers like you. We search inventory across all 50 states — not just what's on a single lot nearby. Our team identifies every vehicle that matches your specifications and negotiates pricing on your behalf before we ever contact you.
We Present Your Best Matches
Within 24–48 hours, a CarDealer specialist contacts you with the top matches from our search — complete with pricing, photos, vehicle history, and a side-by-side comparison of your options. You review everything at your own pace with zero pressure. If none of the matches feel right, we keep searching at no cost to you.
We Deliver It to Your Door
Once you choose your vehicle, we coordinate everything — financing options, paperwork, title transfer, and delivery. Your car is brought directly to your home or a convenient location. No dealership visit required, no hidden fees, no surprises. Just the car you wanted, delivered on your terms.
Why Use Find Me a Car
Your Personal Car-Sourcing
Concierge — Completely Free
Most people spend 15+ hours visiting dealerships, browsing listings, and negotiating. We do all of that for you — and we do it better, because we have access to inventory you can't find on your own.
Access to Off-Market Inventory
Many of the best vehicles never make it to public listings. Our dealer network gives us access to trade-ins, fleet vehicles, and dealer-to-dealer inventory before it hits the open market.
Pre-Negotiated Pricing
We negotiate with dealers on your behalf before presenting options to you. The price you see is already the best available — no back-and-forth, no games, no sticker shock at the finance desk.
Not Limited to Your Local Market
If the exact car you want isn't available nearby, we search nationwide. Popular colors, rare trims, and specific packages are often available in other markets — we find them and arrange delivery.
Save 15+ Hours of Your Time
Skip the lot visits, the test-drive pressure, and the finance office wait. We handle the entire sourcing and negotiation process so you can focus on what matters — just say yes to the right car.
Verified Vehicles Only
Every vehicle we present has been verified through our network. We check vehicle history, confirm mileage accuracy, and ensure the title is clean before we ever bring it to your attention.
Zero Cost, Zero Obligation
Our Find Me a Car service is completely free. There is no fee to submit your wish list, no obligation to accept any match, and no pressure at any point in the process. You decide — always.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your car through CarDealer.
Yes — 100% free for sellers. We never charge listing fees, processing fees, or commissions. Our revenue comes from the buyers in our network, not from you. The offer you accept is the full amount you receive.
A dealership is a single buyer with one goal: buy your car as cheaply as possible. Our network has 10,000+ dealers and private buyers who compete for your vehicle. That competition drives the price up — consistently producing offers 10–20% higher than a single-dealer quote.
Most customers receive funds the same day by check upon verification. Payment is subject to title checks and, where applicable, payoff verifications for vehicles with an outstanding loan. Our team works quickly to ensure there are no unnecessary delays.
No problem. We work directly with your lender to coordinate the payoff. If the offer is higher than your remaining loan balance, you receive the difference by check. If the balance is higher than the offer, you would need to cover the difference — our team will walk you through this clearly before you commit to anything.
Yes. Our network includes buyers who specialize in non-running vehicles, salvage titles, and high-damage cars. Be honest about the condition in your offer form — our network will still compete for your vehicle and you may be surprised by the offer you receive.
You can cancel at any time before the vehicle is picked up and the title is transferred. There is no penalty and no fee. We want you to feel completely comfortable with the process — there is never any pressure to complete the sale.
No. We come to you. Schedule a free pickup at your home, workplace, or any convenient location. Our team handles the vehicle from there — no towing fees, no drop-off required.
