• My vehicle is listed! What can I expect during the selling process?

  Expect to verify your ownership.
  In order to sell your car, you must verify that you are the official owner. You will take a photo of your driver’s license and vehicle registration. You will be required to take a photo of the Title for your car, or tell us about your loan.
  
  Expect to talk with more than one potential buyer.
  The more potential buyers you message, the greater opportunity you’ll have for a successful transaction.
  
  Expect to schedule a test drive.
  Most people want to see and drive a car before they buy it. This is your opportunity to build trust with the potential buyer and get them excited about your ride.

  Blinker faciliates the transfer of funds between you and the buyer via a fast, secure ACH transfer. Accordingly, you will need to link your bank account in the app. No cash or checks involved. Blinker guarantees you will get paid in full after the completion of the sale.
