If you can snap a photo, you can sell your car on Blinker. This app acts as a tool to connect private party buyers and sellers. To list, users simply snap a photo of their car to gain information, like mileage and estimated value, about their car. The listing instantly goes out to buyers in CO, TX, CA, and FL.

The Tred app works in conjunction with Cars.com and offers the most exposure opportunity of all, placing a listing on more than 20+ sites. Tred also provides considerably more customer service features than some of the other apps we looked at. Of course, these additional features mean additional costs.
Users pay $99 or .99% of the approved price at the time their listing sells and can cancel for free at any time. Sellers will always get to approve buyer negotiations on price before their listing sells. Once the price has been approved, Tred will transfer the buyer’s payment to the seller’s bank account seamlessly. They even handle the transfer paperwork saving an unwanted trip to the DMV.
Selling a car with SHIFT couldn’t be more simple. Download the app and get a free estimate of what your current vehicle value is. After receiving the estimate, an evaluator will come to the seller’s location to review the car. They will confirm the initial offer based on their evaluation and pick up the car right then. Payment is set up on the spot or the value can be applied as a trade-in on a new purchase. SHIFT will work with those in an existing loan or lease as well and process all DMV paperwork.
