Vehicle consignment in Boise
Consign Your Car in Boise with Driven

Leave your car, truck, SUV, or EV with us at the dealership, and we sell it for you. You stay the owner until it sells, and we handle the marketing, buyer negotiations, and paperwork, with no fees or commissions.
How consignment works at Driven
What is vehicle consignment?
Consignment means you leave your vehicle with us at the dealership, and we sell it for you. You stay the owner until it sells, but we handle all the marketing, buyer negotiations, and paperwork. Best part? There are no fees or commissions.
When it sells, your net check is typically within the Kelley Blue Book “Fair to Very Good” Private Party Value range, depending on the vehicle and current market.
If you still have a loan on your vehicle, no problem. We’ll work directly with your bank to handle the loan payoff and title transfer. When the vehicle sells, we’ll cut you a check for the difference.
Consignment eligibility
To be considered for consignment, your vehicle must have:
Clean title
No salvage or rebuilt titles.
No moderate or major accidents
No moderate or major accident history reported on Carfax or AutoCheck.
Under 6 years old
Your vehicle must be under 6 years old.
80k miles or less
Your vehicle must have 80,000 miles or less.
Specialty vehicles may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Why consign with Driven?
Driven is a locally owned Boise dealership. When you consign with us, your vehicle gets a dealership’s marketing, financing, and trade-in options behind it.
No fees or commissions
You get a clear, upfront agreement on your net check.
Loan payoff assistance
If you have a lien on the vehicle, we’ll handle the payoff and title work with your bank.
Quicker selling potential
We can offer bank financing and accept trade-ins, which makes it easier for buyers to purchase.
Maximum exposure
Your vehicle will be marketed online, on social media, and displayed on our lot.
We handle the hassle
No strangers coming to your house, no haggling, no paperwork headaches.
You stay in control
There is no minimum time commitment. Want to give us a week or two and see how it goes? Great. Need it back two days after you drop it off? No problem. The only limit is a 6-week maximum on our lot, to align with our best market pricing model.
How it works, step by step
- 1
Bring in your vehicle
Stop by the dealership for a quick vehicle inspection. We’ll go over Kelley Blue Book values and current market conditions to help you understand what you can expect.
If your vehicle needs detailing before we can list it, we’ll let you know up front. That’s the only possible cost involved prior to sale.
- 2
Simple consignment agreement
We’ll write up a simple agreement that clearly outlines your net check amount when it sells. No hidden fees, no surprises. While your vehicle is on our lot, you agree to take down any private listings you have for it online.
- 3
Marketing & showcasing
We take professional photos, write compelling ads, and list your vehicle across top online marketplaces and display it at our dealership.
- 4
We work the deal
We handle all buyer inquiries, showings, test drives, financing arrangements, trade-in negotiations, and, if applicable, loan payoff coordination.
- 5
You get paid
When it sells, the buyer pays the dealership, we handle the paperwork, and you receive your agreed-upon check. If there’s a loan balance, we pay off your bank first, and you get the difference.

Consignment FAQ
How much does it cost to consign my vehicle at Driven Boise?
There are no upfront consignment fees or commissions at Driven Boise. The only potential cost would be professional detailing if your vehicle needs preparation before listing to meet our retail presentation standards. If it does, we’ll let you know up front.
What price will I receive for my consigned vehicle?
Our goal is to sell your vehicle at current market value and deliver you a net payout aligned with Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value ranges (“Fair” to “Very Good”), based on condition, mileage, and real-time demand in the Boise and Treasure Valley market. Your consignment agreement clearly outlines your net check amount.
Can I continue driving my vehicle while it is on consignment?
No. Consigned vehicles are kept on the Driven Boise sales lot to ensure proper insurance coverage, consistent availability for buyers, and maximum exposure to shoppers across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and surrounding areas.
How long does a vehicle stay on consignment?
As long as you like, up to 6 weeks, with no minimum time commitment. You can give us a week or two to see how it goes, or pick your vehicle up anytime before it sells, even a couple of days after dropping it off. Six weeks is the maximum a consigned vehicle stays on our lot, which helps keep it competitively priced and actively marketed to buyers in the Boise used car market. If it hasn’t sold by then, you may pick it up or review updated pricing strategies with our team.
What happens if a buyer wants to finance or trade in?
As a licensed Boise dealership, we can facilitate trade-ins and offer financing options through established lending partners. This helps increase exposure to qualified buyers and can improve the likelihood of a faster sale at market-driven pricing.
What if I still owe money on my vehicle?
No problem. We handle the payoff process directly with your lender. Once your vehicle is sold, the lien is satisfied and you will receive the remaining equity balance, if applicable, in a transparent settlement process.
Are there restrictions on what vehicles can be consigned?
Yes. To maintain strong retail performance in the Boise market, your vehicle must meet the following criteria:
- Clean title (no salvage or rebuilt titles)
- No moderate or major accident history reported on Carfax or AutoCheck
- Under 6 years old
- 80,000 miles or less
Specialty vehicles may be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on market demand in Boise and the Treasure Valley.
What should I bring to get started?
Bring your vehicle to Driven at 12393 W Fairview Ave in Boise for a quick inspection, along with your title, a valid photo ID, and your current registration. If your lender holds the title, bring your ID, your registration, and your lender’s information so we can work directly with your bank on the payoff and title transfer.
What happens if my vehicle doesn’t sell within 6 weeks?
Six weeks is the maximum a consigned vehicle stays on our lot, to align with our best market pricing model. If your vehicle hasn’t sold by then, you may pick it up or review updated pricing strategies with our team.
Should I consign my vehicle or sell it to Driven?
Consign if you want to sell your car for the max without the headache and aren’t in a hurry. If you’d rather have fast, simple, and done, or your vehicle doesn’t meet the consignment criteria, you can sell it to Driven outright. Request a quick offer on our trade-in and sell page.
Can I keep my own private listings up while my vehicle is on consignment?
No. While your vehicle is on consignment at Driven, you agree to take down any private listings you have for it online, such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. That keeps one clear price and point of contact for buyers. If you pick your vehicle back up, you’re free to list it again.
