About CarZoom
We built the car buyer we could not find when we were selling our own
CarZoom is a one-stop destination for buying used cars from the people who own them. One quote, one free collection, one payment on the day. The whole business is arranged around removing the parts of a private sale that nobody enjoys.
Our mission
Selling a used car privately is a bad deal dressed up as a fair one
You write the listing. You answer the messages. You give your address to strangers and lose two Saturdays to people who do not turn up. Then, after six weeks of it, somebody stands in your driveway and knocks a thousand dollars off the price because they can see you are tired of the whole thing.
We built CarZoom backwards from that moment. A buyer prices your car by hand against live auction and retail data, not against a number chosen to get you on the phone. The figure arrives in writing and holds for seven days. We collect the car for free, anywhere in the contiguous United States, on the day and inside the two-hour window you picked. Payment is released the same day you hand over the keys.
None of that is a promotion and none of it is complicated. It is simply what the process should have looked like all along, and it is why people who have sold a car to us once tend to send us their family the next time round.
Where our money comes from
We earn on what the car does after it leaves you, not on what we can shave off you today. That is the whole reason we can hold a quote steady at the door, and it is worth knowing before you compare us with anyone who charges a fee.
Credibility
What we value
Four commitments. They are specific on purpose, because a value you cannot be held to is just decoration.
We quote what we will actually pay
No bait pricing.
Our buyers price against live auction and retail data, not against a number designed to get you on the phone. A quote you cannot rely on is worse than no quote at all.
We show our working
Every figure explained.
Ask why your car was valued where it was and you will get a straight answer about mileage, condition, demand and title status. You are entitled to understand the offer you are accepting.
We keep to your schedule
Collection when it suits you.
You choose the day and the two-hour window. If our driver is running behind you hear it from us first, by phone, before the window closes.
We take responsibility after the handover
The paperwork ends with us.
We file the transfer, we notify the state, and we send you written confirmation that the car is off your name. Nothing is left sitting in your glovebox as a problem for later.
What it costs you
Nothing. Not at the quote, not at the door, not afterwards.
- No listing fee and no valuation fee
- No charge for collection, however far the driver comes
- No admin or processing amount deducted from your payment
- No credit check, so nothing here touches your credit file
We also file the title transfer and notify your state, then send you written confirmation once the car is off your name. Nothing is left in your glovebox to deal with later.
