Consign Your Vehicle

No Fees. No Hassle.

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 a clean title, have no moderate or major accidents on Carfax or Autocheck, be 8 years old or newer, and have fewer than 100,000 miles. Specialty vehicles may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Why Consign with Driven?

  • 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: You can pull your vehicle anytime before it sells—no minimum time length commitment. The only limit is that consignments must sell within 6 weeks 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.
  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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How much does it cost to consign my vehicle at Driven Boise?

A: There are no upfront consignment fees or commissions at Driven Boise. The only potential cost would be optional professional detailing if your vehicle needs preparation before listing to meet our retail presentation standards.

Q: What price will I receive for my consigned vehicle?

A: 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.

Q: Can I continue driving my vehicle while it is on consignment?

A: 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.

Q: How long does a vehicle stay on consignment?

A: Standard consignment terms are up to 6 weeks. This timeframe helps ensure your vehicle stays competitively priced and actively marketed to buyers in the Boise used car market. If the vehicle does not sell within that period, you may pick it up or review updated pricing strategies with our team.

Q: What happens if a buyer wants to finance or trade in?

A: 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.

Q: What if I still owe money on my vehicle?

A: 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.

Q: Are there restrictions on what vehicles can be consigned?

A: Yes. To maintain strong retail performance in the Boise market, we generally accept vehicles that meet the following criteria:

  1. Clean title (no salvage or rebuilt titles)
  2. No moderate or major accident history reported on Carfax or AutoCheck
  3. Typically 10 years old or newer
  4. Fewer than 120,000 miles

Specialty or higher-value vehicles may be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on market demand in Boise and the Treasure Valley.
