We’ve turned the difficult process of selling a car into a seamless, feel-good experience
Our users tell us that getting started is one of the hardest parts of selling online. Some say it reminds them of being back in school, staring at a blank page while trying to write an essay. Your journey with Revolve starts here, as our technology drafts your listing with just your vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate number. Our AI optimizes the listing to call attention to attributes that we know buyers are looking for, and this is customized to your type of vehicle. You can task your copilot, Revy, with making changes in any way you see fit.
A critical step in listing creation is setting an asking price. You shouldn’t need to be a car guru to get a fair deal. Revolve uses data from multiple sources to suggest price ranges that reflect an honest assessment of your car’s value. You’re able to set whatever price you’d like, but if your price is significantly out of range, we’ll ask you to justify it. This allows us to be transparent with buyers and ensure fair outcomes for both parties.
Once you’re happy with your listing, Revolve will publish it directly to Craigslist at no added cost. You can expand the reach of your listing by cross-posting to Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and other sites. You’ll also receive a custom link that you can share on your social media accounts, with prospective buyers you’ve already found, or on other car marketplaces. Anybody who finds your car online, regardless of the platform, can use your unique link to ask questions about your vehicle, download its history report, request a video tour or test drive, and make an offer.

Managing communications with buyers is where Revolve really shines. Private car sales are kind of like dating – it’s all about finding the right match, but getting there can require going on a lot of bad dates first. Revolve provides sellers and buyers alike tools to bypass the awkward stages and get to winning results sooner.
Your copilot, Revy, handles the early conversations so you only have to step in to seal the deal. These are typically repetitive and basic questions or buyers asking “is this car still available?”
We vet and remove uninterested, unqualified, or unserious buyers. We filter out spam and identify low ball offers, which normally wastes hours of a seller’s time. In the most frustrating cases, sellers get all the way to an in-person test drive before they learn that the buyer isn’t willing to make a reasonable or competitive offer; we help prevent this.

The auto industry makes everyday people feel the need to have their guard up. Most buyers and sellers are cautious and expect that the other party may try to rip them off. Salespeople at dealerships have a reputation for being untrustworthy, which makes negotiations feel awkward and unsatisfying. Unfortunately, selling your car privately doesn’t automatically make this easier. In fact, the anonymous nature of online platforms may make it more complicated. This dynamic, rooted in distrust, creates the ultimate recipe for a bad experience. We’re changing that.
Everyone in our community adheres to our Rules of the Road, ensuring respectful communication, safe test drives, and clear expectations. Buyers and sellers alike must confirm their identities before interacting, and both parties have financial skin in the game before meeting up in-person. Revolve is making car sales safer, smoother, and more human.

In the end, a winning outcome for sellers means… Getting a fair price for your car. Not wasting time on uninterested buyers. Feeling safe throughout the process, both online and in-person. Not getting ghosted. Not leaving money on the table. Having easy access to support at each step.
We aren’t for everyone, and that’s a good thing! We’re for everyday people who want a safe, fair, and seamless experience selling their cars privately.

The auto industry thrives off you feeling disempowered, unequipped, and incapable. The truth is that private deals are more likely to result in win-win outcomes.

Revolve takes things a step further by ensuring that it’s not just the final price that’s fair but the whole journey that gets you there.

We’re experts at collecting the right information, requiring complete transparency, and match-making based on a deep understanding of your unique needs that the big guys don’t care to understand.
