Instant Car Bid

How it works

From form to funds in three steps

No listings. No strangers. No dealership waiting rooms. Here's exactly what happens after you hit submit.

Step 1

Tell us about your vehicle

Fill out our 90-second form — year, make, model, mileage, and condition. That's it. No account to create, no photos required to get started, and no fee. Your information goes straight to a licensed buyer who covers your area.

Step 2

Receive your offer

Your buyer reviews your vehicle against live local market data and sends you a real cash offer — usually within minutes during business hours. The number you see is the number we stand behind, subject only to a quick visual inspection to confirm the condition you described. Already have a written CarMax offer? Show it to us and we'll beat it.

Step 3

Get paid

Accept the offer and schedule a quick inspection at a time and place that works for you. Once confirmed, you get paid on the spot in most cases. We take the title out of your name, file the paperwork, and remove your liability. If you have a loan, we pay your lender directly — up to $100,000, posted within 10 business days.
