Sometimes you need cash fast, and one of the most obvious ways is to sell your car. Unfortunately, the process isn’t always easy, and it’s rarely fast. Carvana has changed the marketplace for car sales. If you need some funds quickly, then this is an easy way.

Selling fast isn’t always straightforward

While the marketplace for used cars is hotter than ever, many people still fear getting stuck with a lemon. Because of this, they may not be eager to buy a used vehicle without having a mechanic check it out first. This can lead to time delays as the mechanic looks your vehicle over, and they may find something wrong you may not have known about. 

You can always choose to sell to a dealership, but many don’t want to sell for cash. They prefer to move inventory and will try to talk you into a trade-in. 

If you require the cash now and aren’t interested in a trade-in or dealing with someone who may not have your best interests in mind, Carvana is an option that has little to no drama.

Selling your car has never been so simple

According to WKRN, selling to Carvana is a straightforward process. Carvana is willing to buy any car newer than a 1992 model, has a working odometer, and can pass a driving test safely. If your vehicle meets these criteria, you can sell it to Carvana.

The first step you need to take is to check out sites like Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, and iSeeCars, to get an idea of how much your car is worth before contacting Carvana. This doesn’t mean you’ll get the top price offered, especially if your vehicle isn’t in tip-top shape. However, it will give you an idea of what to expect before contacting Carvana.

Next, go to Sell Your Car on the Carvana site. Enter your vehicle’s VIN or license plate number. After that, you’ll answer a few questions such as what trim level your vehicle is, if you want to sell outright or trade-in, or if you aren’t sure what you want to do just yet. Other questions include mileage, color, engine, drivetrain, and if you’re leasing or still owe payments. If this is the case, you’ll need to have that information handy.

Rather than waiting in a dealership office for hours to get an offer, you’ll know in two minutes or less how much Carvana will offer for your vehicle. If you are selling, you’ll be given a price offer. Carvana is unwilling to negotiate, so if you think your vehicle is worth more, you’ll have to take their offer or try another route like CarMax. Carvana will also request a picture of the odometer, a picture of the title, and your driver’s license information.

Once you reach an agreement, Carvana will send a representative to check out your vehicle and ensure it’s as described when you applied. If everything is legit, you’ll either have money sent to your account or get a check on the spot.

Buying a car on Carvana is simple as well

If you dread going to a dealership or prefer to avoid private sellers, then Carvana may be for you. They offer over 25,000 cars, and each goes through an intense inspection before it hits their marketplace.

You simply determine your budget and then begin searching for a new car. The Carvana Car Finder helps you find the vehicle of your dreams by answering a few questions. Next, the site walks you through trading in your vehicle or getting a loan if you require one. You have the option to finance with Carvana, go with a third party, or pay with cash.

What’s interesting about Carvana is you can call dibs on a car for up to 30 minutes if you need to discuss it with a spouse or loved one before purchasing or figure out how you’ll pay for it. Carvana may not be for everyone, but the process is simple to walk through if you want to check it out.
