Everything you need to know about completing a safe, simple, and secure private car sale with AutoBridge Solutions.
AutoBridge Solutions helps private party buyers and sellers complete their vehicle transactions safely and professionally. We don't buy or sell cars—we facilitate deals between people who have already found each other, providing dealership-level security, paperwork handling, and professional support.
No. We're not a marketplace or dealership. You find your own buyer through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, family, friends, or anywhere else. Once you have a committed buyer and have agreed on a price, that's when AutoBridge steps in to facilitate the safe completion of your transaction.
You still list and market your car yourself, but instead of meeting in a parking lot with thousands in cash, the transaction happens at a licensed dealership with professional oversight. You get secure payment processing, legal documentation handled correctly, protection from scams—plus your buyer can access financing, warranties, and trade-in options that make them more likely to complete the purchase.
Anyone completing a private party vehicle sale! Whether you're buying or selling to a friend, family member, or someone you found online, we make the transaction safe and professional. Based in Georgia, we serve all 50 states through our authorized dealer network and electronic processing capabilities.
Our transaction service fee is $1,550 total. This covers all paperwork, secure payment processing, title transfers, and professional handling of your entire transaction. No hidden fees, no monthly charges, no setup costs.
The fee can be covered by the buyer, the seller, or split evenly between both parties. This is negotiated between you and the other party as part of your agreement. Many times it's added to the purchase price (buyer pays), but it's flexible based on what you agree to.
Absolutely! Consider what you get: complete protection from scams, no safety risks, professional paperwork handling, buyer access to financing (faster sales), and potential tax savings for buyers with trade-ins. Compare that to losing thousands of dollars by trading in to a dealership or selling to CarMax/Carvana. Your time, safety, and peace of mind are worth far more than $1,550.
The $1,550 transaction fee is collected at the dealership when the transaction is completed. If the deal doesn't close for any reason, there's no fee—we shake hands and try again next time. You only pay when the transaction successfully completes.
Step 1: You Find Each Other - List your car on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, or anywhere else. Communicate directly with potential buyers and agree on a price. Step 2: Contact AutoBridge - Once you have a committed buyer, contact us. We'll connect you with a local authorized dealership within 24 hours. Step 3: Meet at the Dealership - Complete your transaction at the dealership with professional staff. We handle all paperwork, payment processing, title transfers, and registration. Plus, buyers can access financing, trade-in options, warranties, and GAP insurance. Step 4: Drive Away Happy - Seller receives secure payment. Buyer gets their vehicle with proper documentation. Everyone's protected. Transaction complete!
Yes! You should. Market your car anywhere you want. When interested buyers contact you and you've agreed on a price, direct them to complete the transaction through AutoBridge Solutions. This gives both of you confidence in a safe, professional transaction.
List your vehicle on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, or anywhere else. Once you have an interested buyer and have agreed on a price, then contact us to facilitate the transaction.
From initial contact to completed transaction: typically 3-7 days depending on everyone's schedules. The actual dealership meeting takes 1-2 hours to finalize all paperwork and payment.
You'll need your vehicle's title (or payoff information if you have a loan), current registration, and a valid ID. We handle everything else—title transfers, bill of sale, odometer disclosure, and all state-required documentation.
We've got them covered! Buyers can access dealership financing through our partner network. This often means you get your asking price faster because the buyer doesn't need to arrange their own loan beforehand.
Yes! One of our biggest advantages—buyers can purchase extended warranties and GAP insurance through our dealership partners. This makes them much more comfortable paying your full asking price.
If your buyer has a trade-in vehicle, we handle that too! They can trade in their old car and save thousands in state taxes (by only paying tax on the difference). This is a huge selling point that makes your car more attractive to buyers.
In Georgia (and most states), when buyers trade in a vehicle, they only pay sales tax on the difference between your car's price and their trade-in value. For example: if they're buying your $20,000 car and trading in a $10,000 car, they only pay tax on $10,000—saving them potentially $700+. This makes your price much more attractive!
All payments are processed through our trusted dealership partners using secure, verified methods. No personal checks, no cash exchanges, no Venmo scams. Payment is handled professionally at the dealership when the transaction is completed.
If a buyer backs out before finalizing, there's no penalty to you. You can continue marketing your vehicle and contact us again when you have another committed buyer. Your vehicle stays in your possession until the deal is completely finalized.
Yes! All transactions are conducted through licensed dealership partners who carry full insurance and comply with all state regulations. Your transaction is fully protected.
Private party sales are typically "as-is," but all documentation is handled professionally to protect both parties. If the buyer purchased a warranty through us, they're covered for mechanical issues. We maintain records of all transactions for your protection.
We work with authorized dealership partners across the country. We'll connect you with the nearest partner location for convenience.
We work with most cars, trucks, and SUVs. There may be restrictions on very old vehicles, salvage titles, or vehicles with significant issues. Contact us with your vehicle details and we'll let you know right away.
Absolutely! We handle payoff transactions regularly. We coordinate directly with your lender to get the exact payoff amount, process the payment from the sale proceeds, and ensure the title is transferred correctly once the lender releases it. If you have positive equity (sale price exceeds loan balance), you receive the difference. If there's negative equity (you owe more than the sale price), you'll need to pay the difference to satisfy the loan.
Perfect! Many of our customers are buying or selling with people they know. AutoBridge still provides value by handling all the legal paperwork correctly, processing payment securely, and ensuring the title transfer is done properly—protecting both of you.
Yes! We can provide market analysis to help you set a competitive asking price. However, you're always in control of your listing price.
No cash exchanges, no fake checks, no PayPal scams. Every payment is processed securely through the dealership.
