Instant Bid vs private sale vs trade-in

CarBidNow Instant Bid: Enter VIN, condition, and title; accept or walk away. You get a guaranteed purchase price, free pickup, and a check at the truck.

Private sale: List, screen buyers, meet them, and handle title yourself. It may suit sellers who can wait, but it brings no-shows and title risk.

Dealer trade-in: Visit their lot and apply their number toward another purchase. CarBidNow is for sellers who want a guaranteed number, free pickup, and a check at the truck without buying another car.

Eligibility—what has to be true

• Vehicle must roll onto or with a tow truck.
• Title must be transferable, or have a title path we can help complete.
• Running or inoperable vehicles are eligible when entered accurately.
• Clean, salvage, or rebuilt titles can sell when they transfer.
• An eligible lien may be handled with payoff explained before pickup.

We do not promise a purchase with no path to a transferable title. If paperwork is messy, see Title help or call 1-877-669-2431.

What you need ready

• VIN from the dash, door jamb, or insurance card
• Honest condition: starts, runs and drives, or inoperable
• Title type and whether the paper is with you or a lender
• Lienholder name and approximate balance if you still owe
• Pickup address and reachable phone number

A wrong condition is the usual reason the number changes at the truck. Enter the car as it sits.

Title, lien, and payment flow

Salvage and rebuilt titles are accepted when transferable; see Sell a salvage title car. Eligible lien payoff help is explained before pickup; do not assume the full Instant Bid is a check to you until the split is clear. Payment is a check at the truck, not cash in hand. Details: How you get paid.

Pickup timing and condition changes

After you accept, dispatch schedules a tow provider. Pickup is typically 24 to 48 hours, depending on location and the nearest truck. If the car blocks a driveway or the title status is unclear, call before you accept.

If the vehicle at pickup does not match what you entered—wrong condition, different running state, or title type that does not match—the number can change. Accurate inputs protect the Instant Bid you accepted.

Useful examples

• Runs daily, clean title, no lien: Enter runs-and-drives; check to you at pickup.
• Won’t start, still rolls: Mark inoperable; see Sell a car that doesn’t run.
• Unrepaired accident damage: See Sell a damaged car.
• Collision or wrecked: See Sell a wrecked car.
• Already salvage-branded: See Sell a salvage title car.
• Still owe the bank: See Sell a car with a lien.
