Buying a car should be simple. Selling one too.
OnlyCars is a free marketplace for new and used cars, built in Asheville, North Carolina. Private sellers and dealers list for free, buyers search without the clutter, and everyone talks to each other directly.
Built for people who buy and sell cars.
Listing a car online kept getting harder: more fees, more ads around every listing and more layers between the person selling a car and the person who wants it. Private sellers had it worst.
So we built the marketplace we wanted to use. Free to list, simple to search, and direct. You find a car, you message the seller and the two of you work out the rest.
“A car listing should be a few good photos, an honest description and a fair price. Everything else should get out of the way.”
Four things we won't compromise on.
- 01Free for everyone
No listing fees and no commissions, for private sellers and dealers alike.
- 02People talk directly
Buyers and sellers message each other and agree on price, pickup and payment themselves. We're never in the middle of the money.
- 03Clear listings
Real photos, a decoded VIN and the details that matter, laid out the same way on every car.
- 04Local first
We're rooted in Western North Carolina, where we live and work, and we know the roads, the dealers and the drivers here.
Three steps, either way.
