Why CarFlipper

Built for people who buy cars to sell them.

Other marketplaces show you a price. CarFlipper shows you the deal: what the car is worth, what it costs to flip, and what's left for you.

Profit on every car

Each listing shows what you could make or lose after repairs, fees, transport and selling costs. Green means money, red means walk away.

The most you should pay

Every car comes with a break-even price and a max bid for a $1,000 profit, so you never overpay in the heat of an auction.

Live auctions, fair rules

Clear bid steps, a hidden reserve for sellers, and a 2-minute anti-sniping rule. New bids show up for everyone within seconds.

Buy Now when you're sure

Skip the auction, hold the car with the $199 buyer fee, and get the seller’s contact details to arrange pickup.

Check any car, anywhere

The deal checker works for cars on other sites too. Type the VIN, the price and the condition, and see the full math.

History you can verify

Details decoded from the VIN, history reported by the seller, and links to Carfax and the free NICB check before you commit.

Good to know

Questions people ask first.

The short answers. The auction rules and terms have the full ones.

What does CarFlipper cost?

Listing a car is free. A buyer pays a one-time $199 fee when they win an auction or use Buy Now. Investor plans are optional: Investor Pro is $49 a month and Dealer Fleet is $199 a month, both can be cancelled anytime, and a year costs ten months.

How do I pay for the car itself?

Directly to the seller at pickup, by cashier's check or bank transfer, after you've inspected the car and the title. CarFlipper never holds the car money.

What is a reserve?

The lowest price a seller will accept. Buyers can't see it. If bidding ends below the reserve, the car doesn't sell, and the listing says “Reserve not met” while it's live.

What happens if a winner doesn't pay the fee?

Their hold expires on its own: 30 minutes after a Buy Now, or 48 hours after an auction ends. The car goes back on the market and both sides are notified.

Where do the profit numbers come from?

From CarFlipper's pricing model, which looks at the car's age, miles, condition and history and subtracts typical repair, fee, transport, holding and selling costs. They are estimates, not appraisals: always inspect a car before you buy. See the buyer checklist.
