Why AutoFlip
-
AutoFlip is for people who want to sell their cars for a competitive used car price, fast and easy. We remove the hassle and do all the hard work for you.
Listing your car with AutoFlip gives you access to our large network of licensed dealers and we do the negotiating for you, so you don’t need to leave your home. Genuine offers can be received within hours of listing so just sit back and we’ll contact you when there’s a winning bid.
When you’ve accepted an offer, the successful buyer arranges the transfer of payment and collection of your vehicle. No contact with the public or exposing yourself to potential scammers.
-
AutoFlip is quick, simple, and easy with a team focused on getting you the best trade in price. Unlike some other sites where you receive an offer from a single dealer or wholesale buyer, we provide you access to our extensive network of serious buyers. They then competitively bid on your car, meaning you get the best used car price without having to drive around to multiple locations. Successful buyers will also coordinate collection of your vehicle at no cost, meaning you don’t even have to leave your couch.
-
Selling your car directly to a car dealership is a legitimate way to sell your car. However, using AutoFlip, means you gain access to our network of many car dealers and wholesalers. So, if you want a competitive used car trade in price and don’t have the time or inclination to drive around to multiple dealerships, AutoFlip is the way to go.
-
Selling your car privately comes with more effort as you take full responsibility for the sale. Everything from listing the vehicle, paying for advertising costs, answering queries, dealing with time wasters, exposing yourself to scammers and having strangers come to your home. How long it takes to sell your car is also unknown and there’s an expectation to get a high price, given the extra risk and hassle.
AutoFlip removes the hassle and the unknown. You can get a genuine offer from a trusted licensed buyer quickly and receive payment fast.
