Free pickup anywhere we buy in Metro Vancouver · See how it works
Sell your car · Free collection
Sell it outright and get paid on the spot
One number, in writing, locked for seven days. We collect the car for free and the money is sent before we drive away.
No personal data pulled. We use the plate or VIN only to identify the vehicle, never your name.
Or you could do it yourself
Plenty of people do. Here is what the afternoon looks like either way.
| What you are comparing | Selling it privately | Carvioo |
|---|---|---|
| Getting a price | Guess from listings, or pay for an appraisal | Two minutes online, free, no account |
| Strangers at your door | Yes, and test drives with people you have never met | Nobody comes to your home but our driver |
| Getting paid | Cash, a draft, or a transfer you have to trust | Sent before we leave your driveway |
| The paperwork | Transfer forms and any lien payout are yours to sort | We handle the transfer and settle the lender directly |
| If nobody buys it | Relist, drop the price, wait another few weeks | Not something that happens. The offer is ours to honour |

Step 1 of 5
Which car are we buying
Your plate is the fastest way. We’ll show you what we found before you go any further. Demo plates: CV8 41J, RT2 09K, CL5 63B. Demo VINs: 2HGFC2F54JH500001 (Civic), 2T3W1RFV2LW000001 (RAV4), 3VWDB7AJ1JM000001 (Jetta, manual). Any other 17-character VIN is decoded live once an API key is set.
The basics
Five quick answers. Only the odometer changes your price at this stage.
Transmission
Who is the vehicle registered to?
Is there a loan or lease on it?
No problem. We settle the balance directly with your lender and send you the difference.
Condition and history
Be straight with us. The inspection finds it anyway, and an honest answer now means the number doesn’t move on pickup day. Tick everything that applies.
Exterior damage
Any rust?
What kind of rust?
Interior damage
Mechanical issues or warning lights?
Which ones? Tick all that apply
Does it drive?
Accidents or insurance claims
Anything else to disclose?
Overall, how would you describe it?
Keys, tyres and extras
Last set of questions. These affect what we can offer and how quickly we can collect.
Including the set currently on the car.
What’s on the car right now?
When were they last replaced?
Original factory rims?
Any modifications? Tick all that apply
When are you looking to sell?
Where do we send it
Your range appears on the next screen. We need this to send the firm offer and book the pickup.
Estimated range for your
This is an estimate, not the final number. Someone here reviews your car and sends a firm offer within 24 hours, good for seven days. It only moves if the car differs from what you told us.
- We email your firm offer within 24 hours.
- Accept it and pick a pickup window that suits you.
- Fifteen-minute inspection on your driveway, then payment.
We can’t price this one automatically
That doesn’t mean we won’t buy it
A car in this condition needs a person to look at it. We’ve saved your details and someone will call you within one business day with a number. Plenty of the cars we buy come in this way.
- A buyer calls you within one business day.
- Send a few photos if you have them. It speeds things up.
- Still free pickup, still paid on the spot.
What to have ready
None of this is needed to get a range. It is what the driver will ask for on collection day.
Every key you have
Including the spare. A missing second key is the most common reason a number moves on the day.
Lender details
Who holds the loan or lease and the account number. We contact them directly to get the payout figure.
Service history
Stamped book, invoices, or nothing at all. It will not lower your offer, but a full history can raise it.
Keep driving until collection day
Agreeing a number does not mean handing the keys over that afternoon. You pick the collection window, carry on driving until then, and the flatbed comes when it suits you. If the date moves, so do we.

The awkward questions
Answered plainly, because you will ask them anyway.
I still owe money on it. Does that stop this?
No, and it is one of the most common cars we buy. We contact your lender, settle the outstanding balance directly, and send you whatever is left over. If you owe more than the car is worth you can pay us the difference and we will still take it away.
The car is not in my name.
We can only buy from the registered owner or someone with written authority to sell on their behalf. If the car belongs to a business, an estate, or a co-owner, tell us at step two and we will send the exact paperwork you need before pickup, so nobody wastes a trip.
It was bought out of province. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Out-of-province vehicles need a provincial safety inspection before they can be resold in British Columbia, and that is our cost to carry, not yours. It is already accounted for in the number we quote you.
What will you not buy?
We do not buy vehicles with an active lien we cannot verify, cars that have been written off and not properly rebuilt with documentation, or anything we suspect is stolen. Everything else, including non-runners and cars with accident history, we will make an offer on.
Will the price change when you turn up?
Only if the car is not what you told us it was. The inspection checks the same 172 points every time against your answers. If it matches, the number you agreed is the number you get paid, and you get paid before we drive away.
