How to Best Sell a Rebuilt Title Car in 2024

Selling a rebuilt title car can be rewarding if you approach it with transparency and attention to detail. Here are some tips to make your listing stand out and attract buyers:

1. Be Transparent and Completely Honest

Buyers appreciate honesty and ReVroom requires it. Be upfront about your car’s history, the type of damage it endured, and how it was repaired.

2. Provide the VIN

Sharing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows buyers to conduct their own research. This builds trust and confidence in your listing, which is why ReVroom requires they be included in each one.

3. Include a CarFax or Similar Report

A vehicle history report saves buyers time and money. It also proves you have nothing to hide about your car’s past. ReVroom supports all approved NMVTIS vehicle history providers except for EpicVin — for cost and trustworthiness, EpicVin reports pale in comparison to others. Our top picks are Bumper, Carfax, and Experian AutoCheck.

4. Offer a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

By having a trusted mechanic inspect the car before listing it, you remove a significant barrier for buyers. A clean inspection report reassures potential buyers of the car’s quality and removes the burden on them to carry out their own inspections. ReVroom provides a space for sellers to upload PDFs of their PPI documentation for buyers to view, risk-free.

5. Share Damage Photos

If photos of the car’s pre-repair state are available, include them in your listing. These can often be found by searching the VIN online or contacting your insurance company. Buyers will appreciate the extra effort to provide full transparency and ReVroom will too. Listings perform best when these images are provided.

6. Highlight Rebuild Quality

Emphasize the use of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts or any certifications for the repair work, if applicable, and provide the contact information of the body shops or mechanics that rebuilt your vehicle. We understand that this information is often unknown to sellers, but it should be shared if accessible.

7. Use ReVroom

ReVroom is the only marketplace dedicated to rebuilt title cars. Our platform is designed to help sellers showcase their vehicles with detailed listings, including damage history, repair information, photos, and documentation. By listing on ReVroom, you connect with a direct audience that understands and values rebuilt title vehicles, saving you time in each interaction.
