FAQS
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SELLING ON MY OWN?
When selling a vehicle, you have a couple convenient options, bringing it to a
car dealership or selling privately. Trading in at a dealership is a simple and
fast option to sell your car for cash, though you could be selling to the dealer
for a price less than what your car is worth. Selling privately will give you
the ability to connect with many interested buyers and the potential to make
thousands more!
Selling a car on your own doesn’t have to be scary. With CarGurus Pay™, we’ll
make the process safe and simple.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
We know the idea of selling your car online can be a daunting experience, and
that's why the process selling with CarGurus Pay™ is safe and simple with just
three steps: list your vehicle, find a buyer, and transact on the platform.
Listing your car or truck takes only minutes. Our pricing tool and communication
channel will help you reach the broadest audience. In the meantime, make sure to
verify your driver’s license and setup your payment method to speed up the
process. Once you found a buyer and agreed on a price, we have a guided tool to
walk you through the transaction process in less than an hour! If you opted to
use CarGurus Pay™ for secure payment, it may take up to 3 business days to
receive your cash.
HOW LONG IS MY LISTING ACTIVE FOR? CAN I EXTEND MY LISTING?
Vehicle listings expire after 30 days. You can extend your listing at any time
from your My Cars For Sale by clicking “Extend for free”.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY LISTING IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE?
An email will be sent to you one week prior to your listing’s expiration asking
if you want to extend by 30 days. Extending your listing is free and you can do
it as many times as you need! You can extend your listing from your My Cars For
Sale page and see the exact date it will expire.
FEATURED LISTINGS? WHAT IS THAT AND HOW DOES IT HELP?
Featured Listing gives your vehicle the ability to be seen by more shoppers,
more often with 14 days of priority positioning at the top of relevant search
pages which can help you sell your vehicle faster. The price of a Featured
Listing is $19.99 and there is no limit on the number of Featured Listings a
private seller can purchase for their vehicle. Once your priority positioning
expires, you will be able to purchase another 14 days of priority positioning by
going to your My Cars for Sale page!
HOW/WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY MONEY?
For listings, we offer CarGurus Pay™ —a safe and simple way to get your money
via direct deposit once your sale is complete. It can take up to 3 business days
to receive your cash in your account, and you also have the option to accept the
payment with the buyer’s own cash in hand.
SHOULD I ACCEPT CASH FOR MY CAR?
We strongly recommend using CarGurus Pay™ for your sale. With CarGurus Pay™,
we’ll help with the bill of sale and assist with the sale of your vehicle.
Through CarGurus Pay™, you’ll receive the cash in your bank account within 3
business days. You can also opt to instead handle the payment directly with your
buyer, whether that’s with cash, a cashier's check, or any other payment method
you and your buyer choose.
Please note, when proceeding through CarGurus Pay™ and accepting any external
payment method such as physical cash or check, you will not be covered for any
payment related issues. You will still be able to utilize the other CarGurus
Pay™ features such as the verified title and Bill of Sale creation.
I STILL HAVE A CAR LOAN. CAN I SELL MY CAR ON CARGURUS?
We are unable to assist at this time through our CarGurus Pay process if you
currently owe money on your vehicle. If you would like to proceed using CarGurus
Pay, you'll need to have your title on hand, clear of any liens.
That being said, if you have a lien, you can still list your car on CarGurus so
you can connect with the largest audience of car shoppers and handle the sale
directly with your buyer.
WHY IS MY VEHICLE SHOWING UP AS OVERPRICED?
Our deal rating is calculated using the CarGurus Instant Market Value (IMV) —an
estimated fair retail price for your vehicle based on comparable listings in
your market. If it’s showing a less favorable IMV, try lowering the price of
your car or truck to make it more competitive. Doing so will also improve the
search rank, helping more potential buyers find it!
I HAVE A REBUILT TITLE/LEMON/OPEN RECALL/SALVAGE TITLE. CAN I STILL LIST?
` Yes! None of that will prohibit you from listing your vehicle, but an Instant
Market Value will not appear for your vehicle. We receive vehicle history
reports and display data from them on your listing’s page, so no need to notify
us of it. Be sure to be transparent about your vehicle’s condition and features
in your description. You should also get an accurate odometer reading of your
mileage to have that listed. This will all help you and any interested buyers
have a smooth transaction experience. You’ll have the best luck finding car
buyers when you’re honest about your vehicle! `
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A BUYER IS VERIFIED?
` A vetted buyer is a person who successfully uploads an ID that, using third
party tools, is found to be currently valid and legitimate. When a seller
completes a vehicle sale transaction using our secure funds transfer feature on
CarGurus Pay, we also verify the buyer by confirming that they have the agreed
upon funds available to transfer. `
WHAT IF I FIND MY BUYER OFF-SITE AFTER LISTING ON CARGURUS?
If you bring a potential buyer from any other site, such as Craigslist, or even
from your area, you can still transact securely through CarGurus Pay™! Simply
share your listing’s URL with your buyer and have them initiate the purchase
from there.
HOW DO I ADD MY CONTACT INFORMATION?
` For everyone’s privacy and safety, we don’t allow phone numbers in private
listings. Feel free to chat with potential buyers using our secure messaging
platform. From there, you can share additional photos of your vehicle, set up a
test drive with your buyer, discuss your buyer’s cash offer, and when you’re
both ready, start the transaction! `
MY VIN WASN’T RECOGNIZED. HOW CAN YOU HELP?
If you have an issue when uploading your vehicle identification number, or VIN,
please reach out to customer support at user_support@cargurus.com.
I DON’T SEE THE CORRECT TRIM FOR MY VEHICLE.
If you can’t find the correct trim for your vehicle, please reach out to
customer support at user_support@cargurus.com.
