Buying a Vehicle
Interested in purchasing a vehicle listed on Street Car Market? Here’s a clear breakdown of how the buying process works, from first click to final sale.
Login
The first step is logging into your account. This allows you to make verified offers, ask questions, and place deposits, while keeping your information protected until a deal is confirmed.
Make a Verified Offer
Make a Verified Offer that sellers can trust. Click Make an Offer to submit your contact details and offer amount.
Each offer is supported by a 5% Commitment Deposit, which confirms serious intent and protects the seller’s time. For example, a $50,000 offer requires a $2,500 deposit.
We do not charge your card upfront, only a temporary authorization is placed.
- Accepted offer → the authorization is captured and seller contact details are shared.
- Declined offer → the authorization is instantly released.
The seller has up to 48-hours to accept or decline your offer, if there is no response, the offer will automatically be declined, and the hold will be released.
Place a Deposit
Want to skip the back-and-forth? You can secure the vehicle immediately by placing a Commitment Deposit at the current asking price.
By placing a deposit, you’re agreeing to purchase the vehicle at the listed price. A 5% Commitment Deposit (5% of the asking price) is charged at checkout. Once completed, you’ll instantly receive the seller’s contact information to finalize the sale, and the seller will receive yours.
Ask a Question
Have a question for the seller? Click Ask a Question to message the seller directly about the vehicle.
To keep conversations productive, please avoid asking whether the vehicle is still available. We actively verify availability with the seller throughout the 30-day listing period.
All messages are sent anonymously, both buyer and seller contact information remains private until a deal is confirmed.
