  • No lowball offers

    ✓ Selling to Driven

    Get a no strings attached, fair market value offer for your used car, truck, SUV, or EV.

    ✕ Selling privately

    Buyers often open with lowball offers and haggle from there.

    ✓ Selling to Driven

    Sell it to us and stop waiting on a buyer.

Trade-in and car selling FAQ

How does the instant online offer work?

Enter your vehicle’s details in the instant offer tool near the top of this page. It’s powered by cars.com Accu-Trade and gives you a real-time cash offer online, with no commitments and no haggling. Then bring your vehicle to Driven at 12393 W Fairview Ave so we can verify it in person, and sell it to us or put the offer toward your next vehicle.

What’s the difference between the instant offer and the trade-in form?

The instant offer tool gives you a cash offer online right away. The four-step trade-in form sends your vehicle details, condition, and optional photos to our team, and we review them and get back to you with a fair market offer. Use whichever you prefer, or call us at (208) 789-5500.

How does the trade-in form work?

Fill out the four-step form on this page: your vehicle information (VIN, or year, make, and model), its history and condition, optional photos, and your contact information. Our team reviews what you send and contacts you with a fair market offer. It’s free and there’s no obligation.

What should I bring when I trade in or sell my car?

Bring your vehicle’s title (or your lender information if you still have a loan), a valid photo ID, your current registration, and all keys and remotes. If you’re not sure what you need, call us at (208) 789-5500 before you come in.

Can I trade in or sell a car I still owe money on?

Yes, in many cases. Bring your lender’s name and your loan account information, and we’ll walk you through how the payoff works as part of the paperwork.

Will trading in my car lower the sales tax on my next vehicle?

You may qualify for a sales tax credit. In Idaho, when you trade in a vehicle toward a vehicle you buy from a dealer, sales tax is generally charged only on the difference between the purchase price and your trade-in value. Your actual savings depend on your deal, and this applies to trade-ins, not to selling your car outright.

Do you buy cars in as-is condition?

Yes. You can trade in or sell your vehicle to us in “as is” condition, so you don’t have to make repairs first or risk a private buyer asking you to pay for repairs out of pocket.

Will you buy any make, model, year, or mileage?

Yes. We consider any make, any model, any year, with any mileage, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and EVs. Most private buyers are in the market for a newer, low-mile vehicle, so selling to us can be the easier route for older or higher-mileage vehicles.

Do I have to buy a vehicle from Driven to sell you my car?

No. If you already have your new ride or don’t need a trade-in, you can sell your car to Driven outright. Start with the instant online offer at the top of this page.

How fast do I get paid when I sell my car to Driven?

Selling privately can take weeks or even months. When you sell to Driven, we handle the legalities and paperwork and work to get you paid fast. Call us at (208) 789-5500 if you have questions about timing for your vehicle.

Should I sell my car to Driven or consign it?

Sell to us if you want fast, simple, and done. If you want max money for your car and aren’t in a hurry, consignment may be the answer: Driven sells it for you with no fees, no strangers, and no stress. Consignment is for vehicles with a clean title, under 6 years old, and 80k miles or less.

Can I trade in, buy, and finance at the same place?

Yes. Driven is a one-stop shop. Shop our used cars, trucks, SUVs, and EVs, trade in your current vehicle, and explore financing with us, all at 12393 W Fairview Ave in Boise. Every vehicle comes with $0 dealer fees.
