Once you’ve entered your vehicle details, you’ll be shown industry market data that tells us what recent cars similar to yours have been sold and are selling for. Keep in mind, this is an estimate, not an offer since it doesn’t take into account certain packages and add-ons that your vehicle may have.
Autozen goes the extra mile to learn the true value of your vehicle by getting the exposure it needs to find the buyer who wants it the most. Booking a walkaround with an Autozen Expert is designed to help us build a profile for your vehicle.

The walkaround is a vital step that our buyers trust as if they saw the vehicle themselves. This results in a firm offer that will not change, unlike Instant Cash Offer (ICO) sites & Online Dealerships.

Once our Autozen Expert completes your walkaround and has taken photos of your car, at your desired location, we start showcasing your vehicle, in real-time, to hundreds of professional car buyers.

Autozen simplifies the car selling process with a precise car selling price estimate. Discover your car worth and sell it with confidence. Get the best value for your vehicle at Autozen.

We do the legwork to get your car sold, paid and gone, so you can go back to the more important things in life.

Things that could help add value and maximize your offer

  • Features that are in high demand or rare, for example, navigation system, sunroof, leather seats, backup camera, Apple/android car play.
  • Factory accessories such as original tires, two sets of keys etc.
  • Tire treads that are not too worn - tire tread depth can impact the value of your car, in fact, some dealers will have to replace tires entirely in order to re-sell it. Be sure to let us know if you have an additional set of wheels/tires.
  • Low relative KM for the age of the vehicle
  • Consistent service records
  • Less than $5k in accident history (CarFax)
  • Having a “spec sheet” makes a big difference for German cars (BMW/Mercedes etc).
  • Having something that shows your car’s exact add-ons/upgrades helps us identify the features that can really boost your car's value.

What won't add value to your asking price?

  • Listing at dealership prices
  • Mods and customizations
  • Money spent on repairs
  • Avoiding the disclosure of things

Autozen vs the competition

When the time comes to sell your car, the 4 main ways to sell a vehicle include: ICOs, dealerships, and selling private or online auctions.

Each used car has unique details and backstory just as each seller has a unique situation, needs and goals. What works for one seller and their car may not be the best option for another.
On this page, we've listed the pros and cons of each selling platform to help you understand your car selling options.

Autozen falls under the online auction category. Online auctions happen in real-time just like a regular auction but it's all done online through a special bidding platform with a specific time limit. Registered buyers/bidders compete against each other to win your car. More buyers drive the final offer price even higher.

How is Autozen different from other car-selling platforms?

  • It's super easy safe—just a few clicks from the comfort of your home
  • No strangers, no haggling and no stress
  • Autozen is your advocate and brings you the best offer from 100s of buyers
