List your car free ↗CarTruvo connects buyers and sellers. Listing review and account access do not verify every claim or guarantee a safe transaction. Use these checkpoints before releasing money, documents, or the car.
Ask vehicle-specific questions, arrange a viewing or independent inspection, and confirm that the person selling has authority to do so. Check that the vehicle and paperwork agree. Avoid sharing identity documents in account messages.
Discuss the proposed method with your bank before the handoff. A payment screenshot or available check funds does not establish that payment is final. Do not rely on a stranger’s payment-confirmation link.
The FTC warns about buyers who send a check for too much and ask sellers to return the difference. Do not refund an alleged check overpayment or forward it to a shipper. Read the FTC’s car-seller warning.
Agree on a suitable meeting location, inspection arrangements, and test-drive insurance with your insurer. Confirm title, lien, odometer, plate, and seller-reporting requirements through your state motor vehicle agency.
Use your account’s sale workspace for your own checklist and offer notes. Do not store banking credentials, copies of identification, or full home addresses there. Progress checks are self-reported reminders, not CarTruvo verification.
Email [email protected] with the listing URL and a brief description. Avoid sending sensitive documents. CarTruvo can review marketplace activity; contact your bank promptly if money has been sent and use ReportFraud.ftc.gov to report suspected fraud. For immediate danger, contact emergency services.
Private vehicle payments, escrow, inspection certification, and shipping booking are not provided by this pilot. Buyers and sellers arrange the transaction and verify any outside service independently. Read the marketplace terms.
