YOUR COMPARISON
Enter all five amounts, including $0 where applicable, to see your comparison.

| What matters | CarTruvo private listing | Dealer or online buyer offer |
|---|---|---|
| Price | You set the asking price and negotiate with a buyer. | Review the business’s actual offer and conditions. |
| Work involved | You manage questions, inspections, payment, and transfer. | Ask which transaction steps the business handles. |
| Cost | Listing is $0 during the pilot. Include other seller-paid costs. | Compare the written offer after any applicable deductions. |
| Timing | Depends on demand and reaching an agreement. | Depends on inspection, offer terms, and pickup availability. |
| What you keep | Sale price minus payoff and your selling costs. | Offer minus payoff and your selling costs. |
