Some famous guy once wrote, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Apparently, no one introduced this man to Peddle because there's no sadness in using our service to part with your car. Quick and easy, we keep the process of selling your used car online as sorrow-free as possible.
Here’s some stuff you should know before selling your car for the sweet payday you desire (especially once you accept an offer).
You are ready to accept your offer
To recap, you've answered a dozen-ish questions about your car, our system assessed its market value and we generated a solid offer for you in minutes. Soon, you'll join the ranks of over 4 million happy car sellers who have said “Yes, I will sell my car online with Peddle!” But first, you’ll need to…
Create an account
Congratulations! You liked the offer you saw and everything is coming up roses. Now, in order to accept your offer and schedule your free pickup, you’ll need to create an account and give us a bit more info. We’ll ask for:
- The name listed on the title
- Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
- The state in which your car’s title was issued
- The color of your car
- The location where you want the car picked up
- Your contact info including name and phone number (opting into text message notifications and updates is highly recommended!)
- The name of who you would like the check made out to
Accept your offer and schedule your free pickup
Once we have all your info, you’ll be able to accept your offer and schedule a date and time that works for you to get your car picked up. We will contact one of our picker-upper partners to come inspect and fetch your car (and give you a check).
Get things in order (days before pickup)
Before our driver arrives, be sure to clear out any personal belongings.
It's also super important to have all the necessary keys and documentation in hand, including your title, if you have it. If you don't have a title, don't worry. We may have buyers that purchase cars without a title or even keys. Just make sure to let us know in advance.
We highly recommend locating your title well in advance of your pickup. (You’d be surprised how many people THINK they know where it is and then can’t find it when pickup day comes.)
If you are selling your car with a title, some states require your title to be notarized. If you live in one of those states, or if your title was issued in one of those states, be sure to have that done beforehand.
Here are some resources we’ve created to answer some common questions about car titles and documentation when it comes to selling your vehicle to Peddle.
Get ready for pickup (today’s the day!)
Be sure to park your car in a spot that is easily accessible by a tow truck. And have a screwdriver handy for removing your license plates if required in your state.
When our driver arrives, they’ll do a quick inspection of your car and check the boxes to confirm the info you provided is legit. Assuming everything checks out, our driver will hand over the payment on the spot. Your car will be towed away. And you'll be free of its burden. You’ll receive an email confirming your transaction details, which you can use as proof of sale for any post-sale paperwork required by your state.
