Potential Buyers

We’ve turned the difficult process of selling a car into a seamless, feel-good experience

On your own, getting started is daunting
Start by figuring out how to describe your vehicle in a way that’ll convince buyers to make an offer. Creating the listing requires manually filling out nearly a dozen fields, some technical or unfamiliar. Then set a price that gives you a fair deal but won’t scare away buyers. Lastly, determine where to manually post the listing online, which sometimes requires paying a fee.
With Revolve as your copilot
Share just your VIN or license plate number and get a listing draft in under 1 minute. Your listing is optimized to showcase details that are most relevant to buyers looking for vehicles like yours. You’ll receive a downloadable vehicle history report, which helps attract buyers. Revolve then posts your listing automatically to Craigslist and makes it easy to extend your reach on platforms like Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp.
Create Listing

Our users tell us that getting started is one of the hardest parts of selling online. Some say it reminds them of being back in school, staring at a blank page while trying to write an essay. Your journey with Revolve starts here, as our technology drafts your listing with just your vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate number. Our AI optimizes the listing to call attention to attributes that we know buyers are looking for, and this is customized to your type of vehicle. You can task your copilot, Revy, with making changes in any way you see fit.

A critical step in listing creation is setting an asking price. You shouldn’t need to be a car guru to get a fair deal. Revolve uses data from multiple sources to suggest price ranges that reflect an honest assessment of your car’s value. You’re able to set whatever price you’d like, but if your price is significantly out of range, we’ll ask you to justify it. This allows us to be transparent with buyers and ensure fair outcomes for both parties.

Once you’re happy with your listing, Revolve will publish it directly to Craigslist at no added cost. You can expand the reach of your listing by cross-posting to Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and other sites. You’ll also receive a custom link that you can share on your social media accounts, with prospective buyers you’ve already found, or on other car marketplaces. Anybody who finds your car online, regardless of the platform, can use your unique link to ask questions about your vehicle, download its history report, request a video tour or test drive, and make an offer.

Get Started
On your own, communicating with buyers is frustrating
Your listing may get a lot of interest, but it’s unclear who’s a serious buyer and who’s wasting your time. Expect to answer dozens of repetitive questions, but don’t expect consistent and timely replies. Many buyers will ignore your asking price and make a low-ball offer. Worse, they may try to negotiate the offer down only after you’ve met in-person – or they may not show up at all.
With Revolve as your copilot
Your copilot handles all the initial conversations with prospective buyers. Anybody can ask questions about the vehicle and most questions are answered instantly, so good leads aren’t lost. Revolve identifies and filters out spammers and unqualified buyers. Sit back and relax until an inquiry needs your attention. Revolve’s scheduling tool collects a security deposit from buyers, which deters both no-shows and aggressive or inappropriate behavior.
Manage Buyers

Managing communications with buyers is where Revolve really shines. Private car sales are kind of like dating – it’s all about finding the right match, but getting there can require going on a lot of bad dates first. Revolve provides sellers and buyers alike tools to bypass the awkward stages and get to winning results sooner.

Your copilot, Revy, handles the early conversations so you only have to step in to seal the deal. These are typically repetitive and basic questions or buyers asking “is this car still available?”

We vet and remove uninterested, unqualified, or unserious buyers. We filter out spam and identify low ball offers, which normally wastes hours of a seller’s time. In the most frustrating cases, sellers get all the way to an in-person test drive before they learn that the buyer isn’t willing to make a reasonable or competitive offer; we help prevent this.

Get Started
On your own, your safety online and in-person is uncertain
You’ve found potential buyers, but you’re unsure if they are who they claim to be. You propose meeting in a public place and ask the buyer to bring their ID, but you can’t verify its legitimacy, so what’s the point? If something goes wrong, you have no recourse.
With Revolve as your copilot
Revolve ensures the safety of buyers and sellers alike by requiring multiple levels of identity verification. Email verification is coupled with an ID check and “live selfie,” ensuring both that the ID is valid and that it matches the person presenting it. Buyers are required to pay a security deposit before meeting you in-person, which is returned only if they show up as committed and treat you respectfully.
Stay Safe

The auto industry makes everyday people feel the need to have their guard up. Most buyers and sellers are cautious and expect that the other party may try to rip them off.  Salespeople at dealerships have a reputation for being untrustworthy, which makes negotiations feel awkward and unsatisfying. Unfortunately, selling your car privately doesn’t automatically make this easier. In fact, the anonymous nature of online platforms may make it more complicated. This dynamic, rooted in distrust, creates the ultimate recipe for a bad experience. We’re changing that.

Everyone in our community adheres to our Rules of the Road, ensuring respectful communication, safe test drives, and clear expectations. Buyers and sellers alike must confirm their identities before interacting, and both parties have financial skin in the game before meeting up in-person. Revolve is making car sales safer, smoother, and more human.

Get Started
On your own, reaching the finish line can be tricky
Finding and communicating with interested buyers is key, but it’s on you to close the deal. Many sellers fail to close the loop when their car’s no longer available, so buyers are primed to ask “Is this still available?” repetitively. While you do your best to avoid overtly low-ball offers, you’re left wondering if you really got a fair outcome.
With Revolve as your copilot
Our highest priority is enabling win-win outcomes for buyers and sellers – with no remorse for either party. We believe that feeling good about the transaction requires feeling good about the process that gets you there, not just the final purchase price. Our platform is therefore built to ensure that communication is transparent and productive, everyone’s time is respected, and the end-to-end process is predictable, safe and smooth.
Seal the Deal

We believe that car deals don’t need to feel bad. They can feel safe, fair, and human. For us, enabling win-win outcomes is about putting the tools, information, and expectations in your hands so you can engage confidently. 

In the end, a winning outcome for sellers means… Getting a fair price for your car. Not wasting time on uninterested buyers. Feeling safe throughout the process, both online and in-person. Not getting ghosted. Not leaving money on the table. Having easy access to support at each step.

We aren’t for everyone, and that’s a good thing! We’re for everyday people who want a safe, fair, and seamless experience selling their cars privately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Revolve?

Revolve helps you sell your car privately without hassle, haggle, or headache. Selling privately is the only way to get what your car is truly worth, but it can feel overwhelming to have so much on your plate. We’ve created the first platform for supported private car sales, so you can sell in a way that feels good: simple, fair, and easy. Your AI copilot, Revy, helps you manage the entire process of listing, posting, and fielding interest for your car.

Who is Revolve for?

Revolve is for anyone who wants a great experience selling their car privately. We help you through every step so you can strike a win-win car deal with a buyer who fits your needs. Unlike with dealers, you stay in the driver’s seat and we serve as your helpful copilot through the whole process.

What are “private sales” and why are they good for both buyers and sellers?

Simply put, private sales are those that occur directly between a buyer and seller, with no dealer or broker in the middle. Most people avoid private sales because they can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not an expert. 

The auto industry thrives off you feeling disempowered, unequipped, and incapable. The truth is that private deals are more likely to result in win-win outcomes. Both parties get a fair deal without the ~15% commission a dealer would take. Revolve takes things a step further by ensuring that it’s not just the final price that’s fair but the whole journey that gets you there.

What’s a win-win car deal?

We believe win-win should be the status quo for car deals. Private car sales are kind of like dating – it’s all about finding the right match, but getting there can require going on a lot of bad dates first. Revolve provides sellers and buyers alike tools to bypass the awkward stages and get to winning results sooner. We’re experts at collecting the right information, requiring complete transparency, and match-making based on a deep understanding of your unique needs that the big guys don’t care to understand.

What happens when buyers are interested?

Your copilot, Revy, handles anything and everything buyers throw at it, answering questions and weeding out spam and low-ball offers along the way. Once Revy has found a buyer interested in setting up a test drive, you’ll receive a notification introducing you to the buyer.

What information does Revolve need from me to sell my car?

We can build a first draft of your listing in under a minute using your vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate number. Revy will guide you through the process of making your listing more robust and uploading photos that will catch the attention of prospective buyers. You don’t need a vehicle history or maintenance report; in fact, we’ll produce one for you that buyers will be able to download when they view your vehicle listing.

If I already have a listing drafted for my vehicle, can I still use Revolve?

Absolutely! Revy can digest the information you give it and determine what gaps need to be filled, helping optimize your listing to reach the best buyers possible.

I have another question you didn’t answer here – can you help?

Of course! Shoot us an email at support@getrevolve.co.
