FAQs – Sellers

How much is your fee?

Answer: The buyer covers our fee, so you don't have to worry about any additional costs.

Why shouldn't I just sell it myself?

Selling a car yourself can be time-consuming and stressful. iAutoAgent handles all aspects of the selling process, including marketing the vehicle, showing it to prospective buyers, negotiating with potential buyers, and managing all the necessary paperwork. This approach allows the seller to save significant time and avoid the difficulties of handling these tasks independently.

 

iAutoAgent can get you a higher sale price. iAutoAgent's expertise and network enable them to sell vehicles for 20–30% more than what a dealership would typically offer. This difference means the seller could potentially realize a much higher profit by utilizing iAutoAgent's services, even after considering the buyer covering the associated fee.

 

Safety and security are top priorities. Selling a vehicle to an unknown individual can involve inherent risks. iAutoAgent manages the entire transaction with the buyer, ensuring a safe and secure process for the seller. This aspect can be a particularly compelling selling point, especially for sellers who are concerned about potential scams or fraudulent activities.

 

Our expert negotiators will work to get you the best possible price. iAutoAgent's team are "dedicated experts" who operate like "automotive real estate agents" to secure the most favorable deal for their clients.
