How selling your car through 021 works

 

Three steps, and the first two take a few minutes.

1

Text us the car.

Year, make, model, trim and miles. The VIN or the plate if you have it. If there is a loan or a lease on it, the lender’s name and the payoff amount.

2

Send a few photos.

Outside, inside, the odometer, and any damage. Photos are how we see the condition without you driving anywhere.

3

Get the offer the same day.

We check what 021, the dealers in our network and our own customers will pay, and we tell you the best offer.

Who buys the car

Three possible buyers, one conversation. You hear the best of the offers we get.

021

We can buy the car ourselves.

You deal withUs, from the first text to the sale.

A network dealer

One of the 400+ dealers we work with buys it.

You deal withUs. We collect the dealer offers for you.

Another 021 customer

Someone who asked us for exactly that car buys it.

You deal withUs. We bring the buyer and the offer.

Dealer trade-in, instant-offer site, private sale or broker

A dealer trade-in is the fastest, and the offer comes from one store that also wants to sell you a car. An instant-offer site gives a number online that is confirmed, and sometimes lowered, when its inspector sees the car. A private sale can bring the most money and takes the most work: the listing, the calls, the test drives, and in California the smog certificate and the DMV paperwork are the seller's job. Through a broker you send the car's details once and several buyers answer.

What decides the offer

Miles, condition, accident history, how many owners, whether the title is clean, and what that model is selling for this month. Service records help. So do both keys. An offer made from photos is an estimate until the car and the title are verified, which is why clear photos and honest notes on damage get you a number that holds.

Paid off

You hold the title, so this is the simplest of the four.

Financed

The loan is paid off as part of the sale. If the offer is higher than the payoff, you receive the difference. If it is lower, you cover the difference to close the loan.

Leased

The lease is bought out as part of the sale, and value above the buyout is your equity. Some lenders only let you buy the car yourself, so send us the lender’s name and we check which route is open.

Trade-in

Getting your next car through 021? We find the best offer for your current car and the value goes straight into your new deal. One conversation for both cars.

What you need to sell a car in California

What you need to sell a car in California

The title, signed, or the lender’s details if there is a loan or a lease. Your driver’s license. The current registration. All keys.

If you sell it privately

California makes the seller give the buyer a valid smog certificate for most cars (not for a car less than four years old, or an electric one) and notify the DMV within five days of the sale with a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability. When the buyer is a licensed dealer, the dealer handles the transfer paperwork.

Selling and getting your next car

If you are also getting a car through 021, the two deals become one: the value of your current car goes straight into the new deal. If you are only selling, that is fine. There is nothing you have to buy.

Common questions

 

Common questions

 

Common questions

 

Where can I sell my car for the most money?

Usually wherever more than one buyer sees it. A private sale can bring the most and takes the most time. A single dealer or a single website gives a single offer. We put your car in front of 021, the dealers in our network and our own customers, and bring you the best of those offers the same day.

How fast do I get an offer?

The same day. Text the car's details and a few photos, and we tell you right after we have checked it.

Can I sell a car I still owe money on?

Yes. The loan is paid off as part of the sale. If the offer is higher than the payoff you receive the difference; if it is lower, you cover the difference to close the loan.

Can I sell a leased car?

Often, yes. The lease is bought out as part of the sale, and any value above the buyout is yours. Some lenders only let the lessee buy the car, so send us the lender's name and we check which route is open.

Is it better to trade in or to sell?

Compare two numbers: the trade-in value a dealer gives you, and the best outside offer. If you are getting your next car through us, we find the best offer for the current one and put it straight into the new deal.

Do I have to get my next car from 021?

No. If you are only selling, we get you the best offer and that is the whole job.

What do I need to sell my car in California?

The signed title or your lender's details, your driver's license, the registration and the keys. In a private sale the seller also gives the buyer a smog certificate for most cars and notifies the DMV within five days of the sale.

Where do you buy cars?

Across Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura County and San Diego. Call or text (805) 888-8021, 7 days a week, 9 AM to 6 PM.
