Where do I find my VIN?
On the driver's side of the dashboard where it meets the windshield, inside the driver's door jamb, or on your registration or insurance documents.
From your driveway
Why competition
An instant offer is one buyer's price. Competition shows you the market's.
We start with an estimate from our model, based on similar cars advertised for sale. If you carry on, approved dealers bid for the car based on what it's worth to their stock, their customers and their market. You see where the bidding lands, and only then decide.
How it works
- 01
Tell us about the car
Your VIN, the mileage, its condition and a set of photos — the same things a dealer would check on your driveway.
- 02
Dealers compete
Approved dealers bid against each other for your car in a 23-hour auction. They see the vehicle, not you.
- 03
You decide
Accept the best offer or walk away. Nothing is sold until you say yes.
After you accept, the buying dealer will be able to choose a pre-transport inspection, and any price change needs your agreement. Collection and payment then follow the confirmed payment arrangements. See every step
Honest condition
Used cars have marks, and that's fine.
What costs sellers money isn't wear — it's a surprise at collection. Show the marks up front and they're priced in by every dealer who bids, not argued over later.
Show the marks
Scratches and scuffs
Normal. Photograph them and they're part of what dealers bid on.
Wheel rash
Normal. There's a photo of every wheel anyway.
Seat and trim wear
It's a used car. Dealers expect it.
Previous repairs
Tell us. A disclosed repair is part of the record; a hidden one is what causes problems.
Dealer competition
Dealers bid against each other, not against you.
Every approved dealer sees the same vehicle record and bids in a timed auction. Bidders stay anonymous — to each other, and to you until you accept — so the price comes from competition, not from haggling.

Dealers see the car, not your personal details.

- A general location
- Your name
- Your phone number and email
- Your exact address
Shared only with the dealer whose offer you accept.
Already have an offer?
Before you accept it, see what competing dealers would pay. Checking doesn't commit you to anything.
Questions sellers ask
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Getting an estimate costs nothing and doesn't commit you to anything.
Do I have to sell my car?
No. You can stop at any point, and you're never obliged to accept an offer.
Who can bid on my car?
Only dealers we've approved. Every dealership is checked — business, license and the person responsible for the account — before they can bid on anything.
Will dealers see my personal information?
No. Dealers see the vehicle, its condition and a general location. Your name, phone number, email and exact address stay private until you accept an offer.
What happens after I accept an offer?
The sale opens inside AutoHouseIQ. The agreed price and the condition record are locked, the dealer's verified details are shared with you, and we guide both sides through payment and collection.
What if my car has finance or a lien?
Tell us during your vehicle profile — dealers see the position before they bid, so it doesn't stop you selling. If there's an outstanding lien we'll confirm the next steps with you before the sale can complete.
How is my vehicle collected?
Collection is arranged with the buying dealer after you accept, at a time and place you agree. You confirm you've been paid before the vehicle is released.
Can a dealer change their offer after I accept it?
Not over ordinary wear, and not because they've changed their mind. If they find something genuinely material that wasn't disclosed, they can raise it with evidence. The price can only go down, never up, and nothing changes unless you agree to it — if you don't, the agreed price stands.
How long do I have to decide?
2 hours from the end of the auction. Nothing is sold until you accept, and if the window passes the offer simply lapses.
Start with your VIN.
