Trade It In
Fast and convenient.
But one dealership controls the appraisal, and the trade value can become blended into the purchase price, financing, monthly payment, and negotiation of your next vehicle.
SELL YOUR CAR SMARTER
Don’t Just Sell Your Car. Auction It to the Highest Bidder.
Why accept one buyer’s offer when multiple licensed dealers can compete for your vehicle?
Auto Networx helps qualified sellers put their vehicles in front of professional dealer buyers through nationwide dealer-only auction channels.
You set the minimum. Dealers bid. You decide whether to sell.

Why competition matters
One Offer Is Not the Market
CarMax gives you its number.
Carvana gives you its number.
A dealership gives you its trade-in value.
A private buyer may be purchasing your vehicle only to resell it for more.
Once you accept one buyer’s price, the next opportunity belongs to them.
Your vehicle may be reconditioned, relisted, exported, sold to another dealership, or sent through a dealer-only auction where professional buyers compete for it.
Auto Networx helps you reach that dealer market first.
One buyer names a price. Competition reveals the market.
Compare your options
Selling Your Car Should Not Force You to Choose Between Convenience and Value
Accept an Instant Offer
Simple and predictable.
But you are still relying on one company’s number.
Sell It Privately
You may pursue a higher price, but you also take on:
- Lowball offers
- Endless messages
- Missed appointments
- Strangers coming to your home
- Private test drives
- Payment and fraud concerns
- Title and paperwork questions
- Buyers who may only be purchasing the vehicle to resell it
Use Auto Networx
Reach professional dealer buyers without publicly listing the vehicle yourself.
Auto Networx manages the selling process. Dealers compete. You approve the selling price.
More competition than one offer. Less hassle than selling privately.
Dealer auction demand
Your Car May Be Headed to Auction Anyway
Dealerships use dealer-only auctions every day to buy inventory, sell trade-ins, and move vehicles that do not fit their store or local market.
A car one dealership does not want may be exactly what another dealership needs.
Another dealer may have:
- A shortage of that make or model
- Stronger demand in its local market
- A customer already searching for it
- Different inventory standards
- A better retail opportunity
One dealer may not need your car. Another may already have the buyer.
Why accept one dealership’s price before other dealers have had the opportunity to compete?

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Your Car
Can a dealer auction beat my current offer?
Dealer competition can create a stronger opportunity when the vehicle has enough demand to attract professional buyers.
Auto Networx reviews the vehicle, existing offer, expected auction value, fees, and likely net result before recommending that you move forward.
Which dealer auction will Auto Networx use?
Auto Networx selects the professional dealer-only auction channel best suited to your vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle, its condition, demand, and likely buyer audience, that may include OPENLANE, Manheim, ADESA, or another qualified marketplace.
A mainstream vehicle may perform best in one auction. A luxury, exotic, specialty, or difficult-to-find vehicle may benefit from a different dealer audience.
The right vehicle deserves the right auction.
What happens if the auction result is not high enough?
You can decline the result.
Your vehicle is not sold below the price you approve. Any applicable auction or third-party expenses are explained before the vehicle is entered.
Can I sell a vehicle with an active loan?
Yes, some vehicles with active payoffs may qualify.
Because payoff vehicles require additional funding, lender coordination, title processing, and transaction handling, the standard clear-title fee schedule does not apply.
Auto Networx will review the payoff and vehicle value, explain the process, and provide the total service fee before you authorize the transaction.
What fees and expenses apply?
For clear-title vehicles with no active loan or lien, the published flat-fee schedule applies.

Timing depends on the vehicle, auction schedule, title status, payoff requirements, transportation, and buyer-payment process.
Auto Networx will explain the expected timeline before the vehicle is submitted.
