* The offers from CarMax and our partners are contingent on your providing accurate information on Edmunds.com. There will be an in-person verification of your vehicle and evaluation of other vehicle use and history information prior to finalizing the offer. Any differences between the information you provide about your vehicle and the vehicle's actual condition, use, and history may affect the offers you receive.

Our Trusted Partners
Frequently asked questions
We work with several partners, including major national brands such as CarMax, EchoPark, AutoNation, Peddle, and CashForCars.com, as well as select local dealerships in your area. Each offer provider will review the information you provide on Edmunds to generate an offer for your car.
Each offer provider individually assesses your location and vehicle condition using its own criteria to determine whether it desires to purchase your vehicle. Because of this, not all of our offer providers will make offers on every car. We'll show you the top three offers we find so that you can compare prices and decide which offer is best for you.
Expiration dates vary from offer provider to provider so we encourage you to check the expiration date for each offer. Generally, most offers are good for up to seven days, but some offers may have expiration windows that are shorter or longer than that. Keep in mind that if the mileage on your car changes (by 250 miles or more) or your vehicle condition changes, then you may need to request a new offer to get an accurate price.
No, you can sell your car to any of our offer providers without buying another car from them.
Yes! As long as the information provided online is accurate, then you will receive the online offer amount shown on Edmunds.
The offer provider you choose to sell with will verify that all of the information provided online is accurate. As long as that is the case, you will receive the exact amount of your online offer.
Payment varies depending on who you sell your car to. We recommend checking your offer details to find out the form of payment you will receive.
No, however there is nothing that limits your ability to negotiate directly with our partners if you choose to.
Since June 2021, Edmunds has been a wholly owned subsidiary of CarMax, Inc.

Edmunds makes me feel like a more confident, capable, and informed car shopper
I don't worry about being taken advantage of anymore because I have an idea of what to pay, how much my car is worth, and what the automotive landscape is like thanks to all the information on Edmunds.com

Got a high offer on my car and sold that weekend!
I got 3 offers on my car in one place and it was also where I got the HIGHEST offer. I sold my car that weekend and actually got an even higher offer since I sold within 2 days. Such a seamless experience and much better than getting offers on different websites one at a time.

The easiest experience I've had
I loved the fact that you give more than one offer because it gives you the opportunity to compare and pick what's best. I've bought and sold a lot of my cars in my lifetime and this was by far the easiest experience I've ever had.
