Question 1

Is BuyACarToday free for buyers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Browsing inventory, viewing details, and contacting dealers is completely free for buyers. We're paid by the dealers who list their cars, never by you.

Question 2

How do I contact a seller?

Accepted Answer

Open any listing and use the contact options on the page to reveal the dealer's phone number, send an email, or submit a message. Your inquiry goes straight to the dealer who has the car — there's no middleman.

Question 3

Are the dealers verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We confirm each dealer's identity and business before their listings go live. That keeps the marketplace clean and means you're dealing with a real, accountable local business.

Question 4

Can I get financing?

Accepted Answer

Financing is handled directly by the dealer on each listing. Many of our dealers offer in-house or partner financing options — ask them when you reach out, and they'll walk you through the terms available on that vehicle.

Question 5

Do you offer delivery?

Accepted Answer

Delivery depends on the individual dealer. Some offer local delivery within the Puget Sound, while others prefer in-person pickup. Confirm the details directly with the dealer when you contact them about a car.

Question 6

How often is inventory updated?

Accepted Answer

Listings are managed by dealers in real time, so inventory updates continuously throughout the day as cars are added, priced, or marked sold.

Question 8

How do I report a problem?
