Skip the listing process and go straight to getting the deal done.

Sometimes, a vehicle seller already has a buyer lined up. Or a buyer already knows which vehicle they want to buy.
However they’ve connected, they don’t need PrivateAuto’s marketplace. What they need is the transactional infrastructure to do the deal.
Sometimes, a vehicle seller already has a buyer lined up. Or a buyer already knows which vehicle they want to buy.
- Maybe the buyer and seller already know each other.
- Maybe they met through a friend or acquaintance.
- Maybe they met on another vehicle listing site, such as Craigslist or CarGurus.
However they’ve connected, they don’t need PrivateAuto’s marketplace. What they need is the transactional infrastructure to do the deal.
Here’s how the DealNow process works:
- A DealNow transaction can be initiated by either the buyer or seller, who invites the other party to complete the transaction on PrivateAuto.
- The seller can bypass the listing creation process and go straight to confirming the sale. Alternatively, if the seller already has a PrivateAuto listing, the DealNow transaction can incorporate that listing.
- Buyer and seller can schedule a test drive with our secure and convenient calendar feature.
- At the test drive, the buyer will confirm that the vehicle is as promised, and both parties will electronically sign an official bill of sale in the PrivateAuto mobile app.
- The buyer will release funds to the seller via PrivateAuto Pay. The seller will instantly receive them and confirm receipt. PrivateAuto Pay allows instant and fee-free transfers of up to $1M, any time of day, any day of the year.
- The seller will sign over the Certificate of Title and the buyer will be the new owner of the vehicle.
It’s so streamlined and so user-friendly that you’ll ask yourself why this didn’t exist all along. Better late than never, right?
When you get approved for a loan, funds will show up in your PrivateAuto Pay account in as little as two business days. PrivateAuto Pay then enables instant and fee-free funds transfer up to $1M when you close the deal—regardless of the funding source.
