The Services

Street Car Market is a curated online listing platform specializing in modified and enthusiast vehicles. We connect sellers who wish to list their vehicles with buyers who wish to place an offer on them. Street Car Market is neither a broker nor a dealer and does not sell, exchange, buy, or offer for sale, negotiate or attempt to negotiate a sale or exchange of an interest in any vehicle listed on our platform.

Listings and Pricing

Each vehicle on Street Car Market is listed at a fixed asking price. All prices are in U.S. dollars. Vehicles are listed under one of two listing types:

Offer Listings. The asking price is the “Buy Now price.” Buyers may purchase the vehicle at the asking price using Buy Now, or make an offer below it. Offer Listings remain active for 14 days.
Classic Feature listings. Buyers contact the seller through Street Car Market messaging to discuss the vehicle. Offers and Buy Now are not available on Classic Feature listings, and no Buyer’s Fee applies. Classic Feature listings remain active for 30 days.

Listings remain active for their listing period unless the vehicle is sold, the listing is extended, or it is removed earlier. While a listing is active, the seller may lower the asking price through their listing. To raise the asking price, the seller must contact Street Car Market at support@streetcarmarket.com.

Listing Status

Available: the vehicle is for sale. On Offer Listings, the listing is accepting offers and Buy Now purchases.
Sale Pending: on an Offer Listing, the seller has accepted an offer, or a buyer has used Buy Now. The listing no longer accepts offers.
Sold: the sale has been completed.

Making an Offer

Offers are available only on Offer Listings. Offers are made in $250 increments and must be below the asking price. The minimum offer is the greater of (a) 60% of the asking price, rounded up to the nearest $250, or (b) $250 above the current highest offer on the listing. The minimum is shown before you submit an offer.
You may make up to three offers on each listing. Offers that are pending, accepted, declined, or replaced count toward this limit. Offers that expire, or that are closed because the listing became Sale Pending, do not.

If you already have a pending offer on a listing, making a new offer replaces it. A pending offer cannot otherwise be withdrawn or cancelled. Do not make an offer unless you are prepared to complete the purchase at your offer amount plus the applicable Buyer’s Fee.

You may not make an offer on your own listing.

Seller Response

The seller has 48 hours from the time an offer is made to accept or decline it. If the seller does not respond within 48 hours, the offer expires automatically.

When a seller accepts an offer, the listing is marked Sale Pending, all other pending offers on the listing are closed, and the buyer and seller each receive the other’s contact information to complete the transaction.

Buy Now

Buy Now is available only on Offer Listings. Using Buy Now is an agreement to purchase the vehicle at the asking price. The Buyer’s Fee is charged immediately, the listing is marked Sale Pending, all pending offers on the listing are closed, and the buyer and seller each receive the other’s contact information to complete the transaction.

Binding Agreements

An accepted offer, or a Buy Now purchase, is a binding agreement between the buyer and the seller: the buyer agrees to purchase the vehicle at the accepted amount, and the seller agrees to sell it at that amount. By making an offer or using Buy Now, you represent that you have the intent and financial means to complete the purchase.

On Classic Feature listings, any price or terms are negotiated directly between the buyer and seller, and Street Car Market is not a party to that agreement.

Authorization Hold

When you make an offer, Street Car Market places an authorization hold on your payment method equal to the Buyer’s Fee for that offer. A hold reserves the funds but does not charge your card.

If the seller accepts your offer, the hold is captured as payment of your Buyer’s Fee.
If your offer is declined, expires, is replaced by a new offer, or is closed because the listing became Sale Pending, the hold is released.

Released holds may take several business days to disappear from your statement, depending on your bank.

Buyer's Fee

On Offer Listings, the buyer pays a Buyer’s Fee equal to 5% of the accepted offer amount or the Buy Now price, with a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $5,000. The Buyer’s Fee is charged when the seller accepts your offer, or immediately when you use Buy Now. Sellers do not pay a fee when their vehicle sells. No Buyer’s Fee applies to Classic Feature listings.

The Buyer’s Fee is paid to Street Car Market. The purchase price of the vehicle is paid by the buyer directly to the seller and is not processed by Street Car Market.

Refunds

The Buyer's Fee is non-refundable, except as described below. We review every refund request on a case-by-case basis.

The seller does not move forward: if the seller fails to complete the sale after accepting an offer or a Buy Now purchase, the buyer's Buyer's Fee is refunded in full, and the seller will no longer be permitted to sell on Street Car Market.
The buyer does not move forward: if the buyer chooses not to complete the purchase, the Buyer's Fee is non-refundable and the transaction may be cancelled.
The buyer fails to complete the purchase: the Buyer's Fee is non-refundable, and the buyer may be permanently banned from Street Car Market and any affiliated platforms.
Significant misrepresentation: if the vehicle was significantly misrepresented in its listing and the buyer provides evidence, a full refund of the Buyer's Fee may be issued.

Payments & Holds

All payment processing on Street Car Market is handled by Stripe. Stripe’s terms of service can be found at stripe.com/legal. By making an offer, using Buy Now, saving a payment method to your account, or paying a listing fee, you authorize Street Car Market to place holds on and charge your payment method in accordance with these Terms.

Saving a payment method to your account does not charge it. Street Car Market may require a saved payment method before you can message sellers on Offer Listings.

All information you provide in connection with a monetary transaction with the Services must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred in connection with your use of the Services at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred.

The transaction between buyer and seller for the vehicle purchase price is conducted directly between the two parties. Street Car Market is not responsible for and does not facilitate or guarantee the vehicle purchase transaction itself. We strongly recommend wire transfer for vehicle purchase payments and advise all parties to verify wire instructions directly by phone before sending any funds.
If you have any questions about a charge on your statement, contact us at support@streetcarmarket.com before disputing the charge with your bank.

Completing the Sale

Buyers and sellers should complete the transaction promptly after an offer is accepted or a Buy Now purchase is made. If a sale has not been completed within two to three weeks, Street Car Market may contact both parties to check on its status.

Sellers

All vehicle submissions are subject to review and approval by our team prior to publication. Submission of a vehicle does not guarantee publication.

Listing Packages. When you submit a vehicle, your listing is published under one of two packages:

Offer Listing Program. Available by invitation only. Buyers can make card-backed offers or purchase the vehicle using Buy Now. Offer Listings run for a 14-day listing period and are subject to the Exclusivity requirement below. Street Car Market decides which vehicles are invited to the Offer Listing Program at its sole discretion, based on factors such as the quality of photos, video and build information. The Offer Listing Program is currently free. Street Car Market may introduce or change a fee for Offer Listings in the future; any fee that applies is the one shown on our website at the time of your submission.
Classic Feature. A featured listing on Street Car Market with social media promotion, for vehicles that may also be listed elsewhere. Classic Feature listings run for a 30-day listing period, do not include offers or Buy Now, and are not subject to the Exclusivity requirement. Buyers contact the seller through Street Car Market messaging.

Listing Fee. The listing fee for each package is the one shown on our website at the time of your submission. The Classic Feature is currently free for a limited time (regular price $99), and the Offer Listing Program is currently free. Street Car Market may end a free or promotional period at any time; submissions made during a free period are not charged a listing fee. For a paid package, we place an authorization hold on your card for the listing fee when you submit. If your submission is approved, we capture the payment and your listing is published once we receive the photos, video, and information we request. If your submission is not approved, we release the hold and you are not charged. Authorization holds that are not captured within 7 days are released automatically, and released holds may take several business days to clear, depending on your bank. Street Car Market may waive or reduce the listing fee at its discretion.

Refunds. Listing fees are non-refundable once your listing is published, including if the vehicle does not receive offers or inquiries or does not sell during the listing period.

Removing a Listing Early. You may ask us to remove your listing before the end of its listing period by emailing support@streetcarmarket.com from the email address on your account. Any open offers must be accepted or declined before the listing is removed, and a listing with an accepted offer or a completed Buy Now purchase cannot be removed. Listing fees are not refunded when a listing is removed early, whether at your request or for a violation of these Terms, including the Exclusivity requirement.

One Listing Per Vehicle. Each vehicle may be listed on Street Car Market once. If a listing ends without the vehicle selling, including a listing removed early, the vehicle is not eligible to be listed again, except at Street Car Market’s sole discretion.

Accuracy of Listings

Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all information provided in their listing, including vehicle description, condition, mileage, modification history, title status, and photographs.
By submitting a listing, you represent and warrant that:

You are the legal owner of the vehicle or are authorized to sell it
The vehicle is free of encumbrances or legal issues
All information provided is accurate, complete, and not misleading
For an Offer Listing, you will honor the sale if you accept an offer or a buyer purchases the vehicle using Buy Now

Seller Obligations

If you accept an offer or a buyer uses Buy Now on your Offer Listing, you agree to contact the buyer promptly, provide accurate title documentation, and complete the transaction in good faith. If you fail to complete the sale, the buyer’s Buyer’s Fee will be refunded in full and you will no longer be permitted to sell on Street Car Market. For a Classic Feature listing, you agree to respond to buyer inquiries in good faith and to let us know promptly if the vehicle sells or is no longer available.

No Sale Guarantee

Street Car Market does not guarantee that any listed vehicle will sell. Listing approval and publication do not constitute a guarantee of sale.
Each buyer acknowledges and agrees that Street Car Market bears no risk associated with the purchase of any vehicle listed via the Services, whether or not any inspection is performed. Street Car Market makes no warranties and bears no risk or responsibility with respect to any recommended third-party inspection services.

Exclusivity

If you list a vehicle as an Offer Listing, you acknowledge and agree that, following publication and for the duration of the 14-day listing period, you may not list, post, or otherwise make available the vehicle on any other auction platform, dealership, marketplace, social media sales page, or listing service of any kind, including but not limited to Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, social media pages, or any similar platform. All other listings for the vehicle must be removed or archived before your Offer Listing is published. Classic Feature listings are not subject to this Exclusivity requirement.
Street Car Market reserves the right to remove any listing at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of this Exclusivity requirement, at Street Car Market’s sole discretion and without further obligation to the Seller.

Non-Circumvention

Buyers and sellers who connect through the Services agree to complete any purchase of a listed vehicle through the Services, using an offer or Buy Now. You may not arrange, or attempt to arrange, a sale of a listed vehicle outside of the Services with a person you met or communicated with through the Services, including through messages, comments, or contact information found on the Services, for the duration of the listing period. Doing so is a violation of these Terms and may result in removal of the listing and suspension or termination of the accounts involved.
