Sell Your Car
Fast, Safe & Easy

Do you remember when shopping for toys, that most everyone looks for the marking on the box that says ‘No Batteries Required’ ! Did you know that out of 20 other online companies we researched, CarBuyerUSA is the ONLY ONE that does not require any personal information to obtain your quote to sell your vehicle!

We completed an in depth inquiry of twenty different online platforms who will purchase your vehicle. Every single one of twenty required VIN number, Tag/Plate number, your contact information and some require a current ID and registration upfront, just for you to receive an offer for your vehicle. A few of the platforms claim their process takes just a few minutes to fill out the information, send your offer via email, then require you to bring your vehicle to a nearby hub, dealership or specific location to be inspected.

Most of the twenty platforms paid their sellers by check. A few offered the payment as trade in value or required the seller to take the offer to a participating certified dealer to receive payment, and one offered payments through Zelle.

Car Buyer USA openly shows on our website that we only require Year, Make, Model, Body Style, Mileage, State your vehicle is located and if the vehicle is financed. You are the one to decide if you like the offer you have received and you make the decision to let us know if you want us to contact you for purchase of your vehicle. We take pride in our process and our standards of customer service are what makes us get up in the morning to buy your vehicle. There are multiple team members that strive to make your experience with us as positive as possible. From the first offer to inspection, to our finalizing stage, to our funding team and lastly transport. We are with you every step of the way and constantly in contact with you to guide you. All we ask is to be just as proactive as following the required steps to get your vehicle purchased to get you paid as quickly as possible.

So many sellers go into “sell mode” without checking all the information needed to get their vehicle sold. From years of experience in the vehicle industry, we have advised owners to check with a lender within 2-3 months of purchasing a vehicle to be sure they actually received the title with their name and lender’s name listed on the title. With several states now using Electronic Titles, a paper title will not be issued until the loan is paid in full. However, your lender and your state or local DMV can provide you with title information, showing ownership and lien information. Before you list your vehicle, be sure your lender can provide you with a title when the loan is paid in full.

After being able to provide proof of title with proof of lien, have your loan account number and lender contact phone number and or contact person. With technology so advanced, many lenders will require verbal or written authorization for someone to obtain a payoff quote. Some lenders will require a three-way call with the lender, seller and person requesting the payoff information. This does help with cyber security, so it is best to be proactive and inform your lender you’re selling the vehicle and give the party requesting the payoff prior authorization to obtain payoff and title information. Having the loan account number, how your name is listed on the loan and the full VIN number is also a plus when getting ready to verify the payoff. Your full VIN number can be located on your vehicle registration form and many banks provide an APP with all the pertinent information, other than the title information.

Selling a financed vehicle can be a simple process if you’re well informed and organized. Be proactive and make sure your lender has received a title as soon as possible to alleviate issues for yourself down the road.

There is no guarantee for a vehicle value because it is based on factors such as its condition, mileage, location, market demand, and other variables. There are several national internet brands that provide new & used vehicle valuation estimates for your vehicle:

• Kelley Blue Book (KBB)
• Edmunds: Edmunds
• NADA Guides
• Car Buying Companies
• CarBuyerUSA.com
• CarMax
• GiveMeTheVIN
• Carvana
• Vroom

CarMax: CarMax is a nationwide used car retailer that offers free appraisals for vehicles. While their offer may not be the highest you can get, it can give you a baseline value for your car.

Keep in mind that these sources provide estimates and are not guarantees of the final selling price. The actual value of your car will depend on various factors, including condition, market climate, vehicle configuration and geographic location. For example, a 4-cylinder two-wheel drive, regular cab truck for sale in Denver in October will not fetch even average market value. All that being said, the only value that you should be concerned with is a cash offer. The true value of your vehicle is purely determined by what someone is willing to pay for it TODAY!

You’re ready to sell your vehicle and what better place to list it than Facebook Marketplace (FBM) , or is it? Convenience has become our preferred lifestyle and thanks to online virtual shopping and selling, still this can be more of a challenge than expected. Let’s explore the pros and cons and dos and don’ts of this type of sale.

While Facebook (FB) itself has a vast user base of millions of users, listing a vehicle on FBM will give the seller a large and diverse audience which would increase the chances of finding potential buyers. Local targeting on specific geographic areas is a feature beneficial to focus on local buyers who are more likely to be interested in purchasing a vehicle in a nearer vicinity. However, FMB can also be a limited target audience. Primarily, FBM reaches a local audience which may limit the number of potential buyers compared to other online platforms or classified websites with a broader reach.

Cost effectiveness is a definite plus here! Unlike traditional advertising methods, FBM is free to use for listing and selling vehicles. You can upload up to 20 photos, provide detailed descriptions and engage with potential buyers without incurring any additional costs, unless you want to “Boost” the listing which can be done for a chosen amount and time. Social media exposure can generate “word-of-mouth” by friends and family members.

FB profiles are more often genuine than not, and are tied to real individuals, which can provide a sense of trust and credibility when conducting transactions. You can view buyers’ profiles, verify their identities, to a certain point, assess their rating reputations and reviews left by previous sellers. An unfavorable thing to consider is privacy and safety concerns. Selling through FBM means dealing with people who may not be as honest and trustworthy as yourself. Be extremely cautious when communicating with potential buyers or arranging meetings. FB does not have a stringent verification process for buyers or sellers. This can make it challenging to determine the legitimacy of potential buyers, leading to a higher risk of scams or fraud.

FBM does offer flexibility in pricing, negotiations and the ability to edit or remove at any time. You are in control of your selling process and can adjust approaches based on the market conditions and feedback from your buyers. This platform does limit the capability of listing features and details, such as service history or comprehensive details, which can impact the ability to represent your vehicle productively in order to attract serious buyers. It’s encountering the unreliable buyers or non-serious buyers that make it difficult and a waste of time.

Whether or not you choose to list a vehicle on FBM, it is essential that these pros and cons are considered and exercise caution and follow safety guidelines. Always prioritize personal safety and conduct meetings in safe public locations. Research your buyers and only use secure payment methods and share limited personal information prior to the meeting.

Adding your zip code or location to your search query can be helpful when you're looking to sell something locally. Including your zip code or specifying your location in the search query can narrow down the results and provide more relevant information for selling in your area. It can help you find local buyers, dealerships, or online platforms that cater to your specific region.

For example, if you search for "sell car online," the search results may show you various websites or platforms where you can sell your car nationwide. However, if you search for "sell car online [your zip code or location]," the results may include local classifieds or platforms that are more specific to your area, potentially connecting you with buyers who are nearby. Adding your zip code or location is not always necessary, especially if you're open to selling to buyers outside your local area or if you're using nationwide platforms. However, if you prefer local transactions or want to maximize the chances of finding buyers in your vicinity, including your zip code or location in the search query can be beneficial.

If you are hoping to sell privately to get the best offer, a private buyer may be inclined to buy your high mileage vehicle. The problem is, the drivers for this purchase decision don’t necessarily align with your goal of getting the best price possible.

Here are the facts:

• Budget-conscious buyers: Individuals on a tight budget may prefer high mileage vehicles due to their lower initial cost. These buyers prioritize affordability and may be willing to accept higher mileage in exchange for a lower purchase price.
• Commuters: People who have long daily commutes may opt for high mileage vehicles because they prioritize fuel efficiency and reliability. If they drive a significant distance each day, they may accumulate mileage quickly and prefer a vehicle that is known for its durability and fuel economy.
• First-time buyers: Individuals purchasing their first car may consider high mileage vehicles because they are often more affordable than newer models. First-time buyers may be less concerned about mileage and more focused on acquiring a reliable means of transportation.
• Secondary/backup vehicle owners: Some people may buy high mileage vehicles as secondary or backup vehicles. These vehicles are typically used for specific purposes like running errands, hauling goods, or serving as a backup in case their primary vehicle is unavailable.
• DIY enthusiasts: Hobbyists or car enthusiasts who enjoy working on vehicles may seek out high mileage cars as projects. They may find pleasure in restoring or modifying these vehicles, using them as a canvas to practice their skills or experiment with different techniques.
• Bargain hunters: Some buyers actively search for bargains and may see high mileage vehicles as an opportunity to negotiate a lower price. These individuals are confident in their ability to assess the vehicle's condition and determine if it is worth the asking price, factoring in the mileage.  

It's important to note that individual preferences and circumstances vary, and these examples are not exhaustive. Different people have different priorities and may choose high mileage vehicles for a variety of reasons. If you want to get an offer fast and free from your couch, CarBuyerUSA buys high mileage vehicles anywhere in the Continental USA. Please enter your vehicle info for an onscreen offer, no personal info is required.

One of the main reasons to sell a vehicle online is convenience.

2015 was the beginning of Kia and Hyundai engine issues with the 2011 and 2012 Sonata. The Theta and Theta II engines were defective and the Sonata owners endured no reprieve from the manufacturer. In May of 2015, a class action lawsuit was filed, but this was just the oil to grease the wheels…

Later the same year, Hyundai recalled nearly 470,000 vehicles from the 2011 and 2012 models of the Sonata with faulty manufacturing issues. What’s surprising is that Hyundai stated the issues were from metal debris being left around the crankshaft of the engine which in turn caused “oil flow issues”. In laypersons terms… the metal was mixing with the oil which caused corruption which led to failure of the connecting rod bearings.

Court cases claimed the restriction of oil flow caused issues during the warranty period or shortly after its expiration. The oil starvation caused chronic stalling and/or engine failure. The cases also claimed Kia and Hyundai knew about the engine issue, reported from various sources within the manufacturer as well as from dealerships and consumers, but they refused to do a recall. The final oil spill was when Kia and Hyundai refused to reimburse owners who funded their own repairs – all due to defective oil passage design that promoted sludge buildup.

Almost a decade later, Kia and Hyundia are still plagued with prolonged legal struggles in the form of owner lawsuits, recalls and class action suits. Still not admitting to the fact there has been a major problem with their engines. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed every year since 2015 and now with Class Action suits covering their models from 2009 to 2021 for almost every type of vehicle manufactured by Kia and Hyundai during the 12 year time frame. The suit claims that the manufacturers did not honor their warranties to their consumers.

Both Kia and Hyundai issued another engine recall on December 22, 2022 in which the stated the engines are flawed and would offer a free lifetime engine replacement warranty, but these companies must have slipped a cog, because they will only honor this if the owner completed the KSDS a/k/a/ Knock Sensor Detection System upgrade. Guess what folks? You’re not getting that new engine!
