1. What is MotorLister?
MotorLister makes buying and selling cars between private parties easier and safer. Sellers list their cars, by entering either their year/make/model or VIN, and they are made available to buyers.
Interested buyers privately message sellers. At this point in time, MotorLister digitally introduces the buyer to the seller. Both parties can see each others digital profile. Instead of talking business right away, you can first talk about common interests. Who knows you might even find a new friend or even a date.
From here we let you arange test drives and finalize the deal.

2. What is this digital introduction you keep referring to?
We believe it's important to avoid stranger danger as best you can to sell your car safely. Therefore, we want to introduce you to either the buyer or seller before you meet in person.
We do this by pulling in both the buyers and sellers digital profile, social media and internet links, when they sign up on MotorLister.
Both parties can then look at the others links to see what they have in common: schools, companies, friends, enemies, etc before they meet in person.
This in combination with our messaging platform provides you with the opportunity to get to know the other person without having to give away any of your other contact information.

7. Can I do a test drive?
More than likely yes. That's up to the car seller. Sign up and message the car seller to see when the two of you can meet to take the car out for a spin.
8. I have a loan/lease. Can I still sell my car on MotorLister?
Of course! We'd lose out on a whole lot of great cars if we didn't accept cars with liens.
You are more than welcome to list a leased car or a car with a remaining loan. We do recommend reviewing all of your paperwork, and ask any questions you have to the lienholder ahead of listing your vehicle. This will ensure the sell goes smoothly!
