How Does Comparing Offers Work?
Sell Car Advisor’s comparison tool gets you several instant offers at once, from one form.
Enter Your Car
Start with the VIN, or the year, make and model, then answer a few questions about its condition and the title.
See the Offers Side by Side
Peddle, Wheelzy and CashForCars each answer the same form, so you fill in one form instead of three.
Pick the Offer You Want
The offers show with the highest at the top. Peddle, Wheelzy and CashForCars tow for free and pay you at pickup, usually by check.
What’s Your Car’s Situation?
The condition of the car changes the offer and the buyer.
Junk or Damaged Car
In our offer data, a junk car 10 years or older is typically offered $560.
Sell a junk car →Car That Won’t Start
In our offer data, a car that won’t start is offered about 48% less than one that drives. You don’t need to fix it first.
Sell a car that won’t start →Car Without a Title
Peddle makes offers on cars without a title. Tell its form the title is missing.
Sell a car without a title →Car With a Loan
Carvana pays off the loan as part of the sale. Peddle and CashForCars can’t buy a car with a loan on it.
Sell a financed car →Newer Car in Good Shape
Compare the online buyers and listing sites that fit a newer car with a clean title.
Best sites to sell a used car →Selling to a Person
You list the car, meet the buyers and do the paperwork yourself.
Sell a car privately →Car Buyer Reviews
Read our in-depth review of each buyer before you accept an offer.
Ask a Question About Selling Your Car
Automated assistant: general info, not legal advice
Answers come from our state paperwork data and published guides. Confirm anything binding with your state DMV.
Why Trust Sell Car Advisor?
Sell Car Advisor compares car buyers and doesn’t buy cars itself. The offer, the pickup and the payment all come from the buyer you choose.
Real Offers
The figures in our offer data come from what buyers offered real sellers, not from asking prices.
Our Own Tests
We quote the same cars at several buyers and publish what each one offered.
See the junk car test →Seller Reviews
We read a year of BBB complaints about each main buyer, with the company’s replies, and recent BBB and Trustpilot reviews.
See all our reviews →State Rules
Every state guide comes from that state’s DMV rules, and shows when it was last checked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the offer lower than going to the buyer directly?
No. You get the same offer as going to the buyer yourself. Buyers pay Sell Car Advisor a referral fee, so comparing offers here costs you nothing.
Which buyers make offers through Sell Car Advisor?
Peddle, Wheelzy and CashForCars make offers you can accept through the form, and all three buy cars that don’t run. Carvana’s estimate shows beside them for comparison, but you can’t accept it through the form.
What does the form ask for?
The car, its condition and the title, then your name, email, phone and ZIP code.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. Getting an offer doesn’t commit you to selling. If you don’t accept Peddle’s offer, Peddle keeps emailing its latest offer until you cancel the request.
Do Peddle, Wheelzy or CashForCars charge fees?
No. None of the three takes a fee off the offer.
Can the offer change at pickup?
Only if the car doesn’t match what you entered. Peddle pays the offer you accept as long as everything you entered is accurate, and Wheelzy can lower its offer at pickup if the car doesn’t match. Describe the condition and the title as they are.
What Will Buyers Offer for Your Car?
One form, every offer side by side.
