CarPrice is a modern, fast and convenient service for the sale or purchase of cars. You can sell a car using this service in a super short time. If it usually takes from several weeks to several months, then in CarPrice managers will help you sell a car in a matter of hours.
Selling or buying a car is always not an easy process, especially if the car model is not in demand in the market. Modern trends and the time of electronic technologies have replaced the familiar, well-established systems of selling or buying cars. For several decades, it was possible to sell or buy a car through an advertisement in a newspaper, magazine, or by arriving at the car market much faster.
Now the situation has changed in proportion to the opposite, making full use of the computer and the possibilities of the Internet. An example of this is the CarPrice car sales service, which specializes in buying and selling cars. Car sales take place throughout Russia, and the service is a car auction. Now let's take a closer look at this service, its capabilities, as well as reviews of experienced customers.
What is CarPrice service?
Many will say that it is unrealistic to sell a car in a few hours, moreover, for a decent price. With the help of the fast CarPrice service, the unreal becomes real. If we consider the service in more detail, then this is not only an auction site and a site for submitting applications, but a huge number of centers and offices throughout Russia.
Modern car sites for the purchase of cars do not offer the best conditions, moreover, you will have to wait a few days at best and run around with all the necessary documents. Here CarPrice takes over all the responsibilities with registration, thereby saving your precious time.
In fact, if you look into the details, CarPrice is a site for the sale and purchase of cars. Although the main priority is still considered to be the sale of the car, that is, its purchase from the owner. The system is quite simple and even a novice car owner can handle it. To do this, just submit an application on the CarPrice website, then at the appointed time and date arrive at the nearest service department and go through the necessary procedure.
In other words, the sale of a car will be carried out in your presence, and there is no need to leave your car in any parking lot for a long time. In addition to the usual sales system, the CarPrice service also deals with the purchase of corporate parks and cooperates with car dealers. Beginning October 15, 2018, the online auction CarPrice will start redeeming trucks, as they often take three times longer to sell than a regular passenger car. In addition to cars, CarPrice also launched the business with motorcycles and scooters.
How CarPrice works
It is simply impossible to tell in a few words how the CarPrice car sale and redemption service works. This is not just a website, but a whole range of tasks and services, which are divided into virtual and stationary, but one cannot work without the other. To understand the details and nuances of car redemption, we will consider separately the two main parts, the virtual part, that is, the service website itself and the real offices of the company.
The first thing that begins the whole process of buying out your car is, of course, the website www.carprice.ru... The site details all procedures, necessary documents and other conditions regarding the purchase of a car. We will consider the details of the purchase and sale procedure in the next paragraph, but for a start it is better to understand superficially how everything works in CarPrice.
The whole procedure begins with submitting an application on the website, for this you need to indicate your data and the nearest, convenient to you CarPrice service office. In addition, based on the specified data about your car, the system automatically calculates the approximate cost. As a rule, the price is lower than the market price, but this is not the final price, but rather the starting price at a future auction. On the CarPrice website, you can also find all accompanying documents, a list of papers for processing a transaction and buying out your car.
Do not forgetthat the CarPrice service has another direction - car sales. To do this, there is a separate area of the site on which all ads are located, with the most complete list of information, photos and other data about the car sold. CarPrice also offers a flexible system for buying a car using different bonuses, referral programs, including car delivery. It becomes clear that the CarPrice service is not just a website, but a whole range of services for the sale and purchase of cars in Russia.
Buying and selling cars with CarPrice
There are no special questions about the car sales system at the CarPrice auction (service), it is enough to register at the CarPrice market, choose the car you like and place your bids before the end of the auction. Further, the manager contacts the buyer to clarify the data, and if all three parties (the owner of the car, the seller and the manager) agree to a single agreement, then an agreement on the sale and purchase transaction is signed.
If everything is clear about buying a car using CarPrice, then what about the process of selling a car, more precisely, how is the procedure for placing a car on the service website. Many will say that this type of car purchase and sale is risky and you should not trust such services, but everything is proportionally the opposite. With the help of CarPrice, you can sell a car in a matter of hours, this is especially beneficial for those who urgently need money, find themselves in an unpredictable life situation and simply do not want to get involved with loans to solve life problems.
And so, consider in more detail, how is the process of selling your car going? using the CarPrice service. Everything starts from the company's website, for this you need to submit an application. On the main page of the CarPrice website, select the brand, year of manufacture, model and enter your email. After clicking the "Next" button, the system automatically generates the approximate price of your car inside and out. It should be understood that this is the minimum price for your car and the subsequent price at its auction may be an order of magnitude higher.
To continue signing up for the CarPrice service, you must indicate the city, the nearest convenient office of the company, the date and time of the car inspection, as well as the name and contact phone number. In confirmation, an SMS will be sent to the specified phone number or the manager will contact you. However, this is only the first step to selling your vehicle. At the appointed date and time, you must arrive at the inspection site. The main condition of the CarPrice service is that during the inspection the car must be completely clean and washed, both externally and internally.
According to the reviews of car owners who went through the procedure for selling a car using CarPrice, it often happens that a car wash is present on the territory of the service or nearby. In most cases, you will not have to look for a place to wash your car, it is especially convenient in winter and severe frosts.
Next step Is a car inspection by CarPrice service specialists. A specialist will conduct a full inspection of your car for any chips, scuffs or other defects. Also, with the help of a special device for measuring the thickness of the paintwork, the car body is checked for the presence of tinting and putty, about which the specialist makes the appropriate notes.
After collecting all the necessary information about your car, a CarPrice service specialist goes to the office to create an advertisement for the sale of your car, having agreed on the starting price in advance. Immediately after registration, the announcement of the car owner is taken to the waiting room, where you can relax and follow the progress of your car's auction rates on the big screen. As a rule, from the start to the end of the CarPrice auction, it takes from 30 to 60 minutes.
Attention! At the end of the CarPrice auction, a decisive moment comes, the manager provides you with the final cost of your car, for which they are ready to buy it from you at the moment. If everything suits you, then a car purchase agreement is concluded with the CarPrice service and the method of payment is decided, often it is cash or non-cash payment (transfer to a bank card). If the final price of the CarPrice service does not suit you, then you can safely refuse the deal and leave. At the same time, this whole procedure is completely free, and in the accompanying you will be given all the documents for the inspection of your car (found defects, tinted body parts and other elements).
As statistics show, most often customers agree with the offered price and conditions, after which they issue a money transfer to a bank card. In case you canceled the transaction, and after a while return to the CarPrice service to complete the transaction, then the entire procedure described above will need to be repeated, besides, it will still be free.
At first glance, selling a car using the CarPrice service seems to be something unearthly and secret, in fact, it is enough to simply adhere to and fulfill the conditions, and the managers and specialists of the company will decide the rest for you.
To understand the main aspects of a quick car sale using the CarPrice service, let's take a live example of one client who sold his 2011 Suzuki SX4 Classic, with an automatic transmission and a 1.6-liter engine (112 hp). The auction time took 30 minutes, the starting price of the car was 414,000 rubles, the final price with all accompanying bids was 425,000 rubles.
According to the owner of the car, during the inspection by CarPrice specialists, defects were found in the car. In particular, the presence of putty on the hood, several chips on the body and a couple of drips on the engine. It was these factors that led to a decrease in the total price, meanwhile the owner agreed to the deal, since the money was needed at the moment.
The average market value of a 2011 Suzuki SX4 is from 420,000 to 560,000 rubles, but you should take into account the configuration and the presence of auxiliary systems in the vehicle. According to the user of the CarPrice service, the whole procedure took about two hours, from the moment of registration and arrival at the company's service, to the moment the money was handed out in cash.
Privacy of Selling on CarPrice
An equally important aspect for buyers and those who want to sell their car is confidentiality, that is, having a minimum of information about the current or future owner. Often, information about the owner of the car, as well as about the buyer, is kept secret, and the CarPrice service itself acts as a third party to the transaction. Service specialists make every effort to protect the information as much as possible, while not going beyond the scope of the law of the Russian Federation. In case of need or violation of the law by one of the parties to the transaction, the CarPrice service has the right to give access to information to one of the parties.
In addition to the above aspects of information confidentiality, based on the data received, the CarPrice service processes and receives statistics in order to understand the popularity of cars as accurately as possible, in which direction it is worth moving, and what services are not yet available. Thus, buyers not only get rid of the risk of information dissemination, but also thereby expand the capabilities of the CarPrice service.
What documents are required to sell a car on CarPrice
Often the main question, if you want to sell a car, what documents are required for this. First of all, the CarPrice service website contains a complete list of documents required for the sale of your car. No less doubts arise if the car is issued in a non-standard way, for example, by proxy, in the process of paying off a loan, or another option. The CarPrice service is also engaged in the redemption of this kind of cars, which means that managers will prompt and help everyone to reach a general agreement.
The main documents for selling a car through the CarPrice service are:
- passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation (the service works only on the territory of the Russian Federation);
- PTS (vehicle passport);
- STS (vehicle registration certificate).
If the car is registered to a legal entity, you must also have the following documents with you:
- certificate of state registration of a legal entity;
- certificate of registration with the tax authority;
- USRLE (extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities);
- constituent documents;
- a license for the right to carry out the corresponding type of activity;
- value added tax declaration for the last period.
A more detailed list can be seen on the company's website, since as the law changes, the list of documents for legal entities will also change. Read more here https://www.carprice.ru/about/faq/what-documents-are-required/.
If you sell a car registered to another person through certified documents, then CarPrice also needs to provide:
- general power of attorney for the right to sell a car;
- in the absence of a general power of attorney, it is necessary to bring the owner of the car to conclude the transaction. In this case, you will need a copy of your passport and the passport of the owner, PTS and STS.
Credit cars are no less problematic in the sale, the CarPrice service will also help to implement it. To do this, you will need:
- loan agreement with the bank (original, not a copy);
- certificate of the remaining debt on a car loan (certificate issued no later than 3 days before the auction).
In addition to the targeted examples, which are most often encountered in the case of a car sale, the CarPrice service is constantly expanding its capabilities, thereby including all new options and directions for selling cars. A buyer who has bought a car and has carefully read the information about the vehicle from the service may well be sure of its cleanliness and legality. Before getting to the fast car sale site on CarPrice, each of the cars is checked for defects, the body number, checked in case of theft or the like, thereby saving the future owner from all sorts of problems.
Working with corporate clients at CarPrice
Another area of work of the CarPrice service is corporate clients, more precisely, the purchase of the company's car fleet. This is another point that speaks about the scale of the company's work. According to KarPrice representatives, they are ready to buy out the company's car fleet in any size and number of cars in the shortest possible time, while the payment terms are the same as for a conventional car deal.
The main advantage of the CarPrice service the fact that this is not a Trande-in system, which means that the terms of purchase (more precisely, the price) will be 20-25% more profitable for the seller. The procedure for assessing a vehicle fleet takes about 24 hours on average.
Step by step, the procedure for buying out a car fleet by the CarPrice service is as follows. A manager with a team is assigned to each such order, who will conduct the entire transaction procedure from the very beginning to the moment the money is issued. Inspection, as a rule, takes place on the territory of the customer (the seller of the vehicle fleet). After agreeing on the date and time of the inspection, a group of CarPrice service specialists arrives at the parking lot of the vehicle fleet to inspect all vehicles.
An important point from the CarPrice service! At the time of sale, all sold vehicles must be in the same parking lot and not be used in the future. Further, CarPrice service specialists inspect each car, with the calculation of 30 minutes per 1 vehicle unit.They take a photo, carry out a test drive of the engine, transmission and the car as a whole. Regarding the documents, you will need to provide a TCP and a certificate to check the legal purity of the company that uses these vehicles.
After inspecting all the cars of the company's fleet, all information and photos are uploaded to the CarPrice website and an auction is immediately held. In this case, the auction process can be standard, that is, with the presence of the owner of the vehicle fleet, or without his presence (in this case, the service manager will call back or send an SMS to the mobile with the maximum offered total price).
If the seller and the buyer agree on the price, then the transaction is carried out by the CarPrice service manager instantly. Likewise, the buyer and the seller decide how the cars will be hauled. If the cars are located within the same settlement, they can be overtaken by their own power with the help of CarPrice specialists or the buyer himself. If the buyer is in another city, then the entire vehicle fleet is taken with the help of car transporters of the CarPrice service.
As you can see, the sale of the vehicle fleet takes place without any risks, and the CarPrice service takes over the documents for the transaction and re-registration of cars. Thus, the car owner saves a lot of time on the sale and registration of various cars. In addition, not every buyer is ready to pick up the entire fleet at a time, and with the help of CarPrice, all cars will be sold at the same time.
Payment methods for a car in CarPrice
Any owner, before starting the process of selling a car, thinks about how he will receive the proceeds for his car. The main problem when selling a car to a stranger, and even in the car market, is the fear of losing the proceeds, however, you can be deceived by slipping counterfeit bills or even steal the amount received.
Usually, the procedure for transferring money from the owner to the buyer is a whole chain with many pitfalls, manipulations and prying eyes. Seasoned buyers and sellers know that you need to take at least one more person during the sale, and check all the money received in the bank. In this case, both the buyer and the seller are afraid to be deceived.
CarPrice service keeps pace with modern technologies, and the sale of a car eliminates any financial risks. As already mentioned, the payment of money for the purchased car can be cash or non-cash (transfer to a bank card).
If you have chosen a bank transfer, then, as a rule, it takes up to 3 banking days. In this case, you should take care of the presence of a card of one of the banks in Russia in advance, to which the CarPrice service will subsequently transfer money for your car. Here, there is simply no risk of being deceived or receiving counterfeit money, since the entire amount will be credited to your account. It will be possible to withdraw money at any convenient time and at the bank.
What is the risk of a deal with CarPrice?
Risk is not the last question for car owners before the sale begins. Often this is the risk of being deceived, since pitfalls appear when signing various kinds of documents. The CarPrice service conducts all transactions only through the signing of a purchase agreement and is a third party in the transaction process.
Thus, all risks are excluded, the CarPrice service agreement initially sets out all the provisions, the procedure for transferring money, the amount and other elements accompanying the sale of the car. The seller, in fact, transfers all the necessary documents for the car to the CarPrice service manager and in the future does not apply to the procedure for reissuing to the new owner.
All procedures for the transfer, inspection or renewal of the machine go through a contract. Similarly, through the CarPrice service agreement, the procedure for transferring money is drawn up, as practice shows, most customers prefer a wire transfer, thereby finally protecting themselves and getting rid of any risks.
Real reviews of experienced customers of the CarPrice service
There are many reviews of the CarPrice service on the Internet, but it is best to hear from those customers who have gone through the sale procedure or used one of the CarPrice services. Consider 4 examples of reviews, with a full sale option and an option when the final price did not suit the client or just the opinion of the customers of this service.
Olga: There was a situation that urgently needed to buy an apartment, but there was absolutely not enough money. I was against taking a bank loan, as I have bitter experience in this direction. The last decision to find money fell on the car, I had a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara with an automatic transmission, they bought it from an official dealer.
In the secondary market, the car costs about 690,000 - 780,000 rubles, I was initially estimated the car in the CarPrice service for 710,000 rubles. Even the estimated cost was already fine with me, since I was not going to sell the car on the market, all the more I didn’t want to risk it. After passing the auction, the final cost increased to 751 540 rubles, which is more than I expected. Wasting no time, I agreed to the amount, signed the documents, received cash from the CarPrice service and left with peace of mind to buy an apartment.
Elena: I bought my first car myself, without friends and advisers. The firstborn was the 1997 Dodge Stratus. I don't understand much about cars, but I was attracted by the burgundy body color, good price and well-groomed appearance. Over time, I realized that I wanted something fresh, but I was faced with the fact that it is not so easy to sell it.
I must say right away that there were two trips to the CarPrice service. The market price of Startus is about 75,000-200,000 rubles, depending on the condition. At the first inspection and auction, Karpice was offered 61,000 rubles, it did not suit me and decided to try fate again, arriving for an inspection a week later. After going through the procedure for the second time, at the CarPrice auction they offered 105,000 rubles, to which I agreed immediately, as I understood that I could not sell it myself for more.
Sergey: The decision to sell my Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2012 was unhurried, I bought it from a friend for 1,150,000 rubles, two years ago, so I know the market value well. As they say, the Wishlist was 870,000 - 920,000 rubles, but the start of the price in the CarPrice service was estimated at 636,000 rubles, at the end of the auction the price with all bids was 651,000 rubles.
This did not suit me in any way, so I left the CarPrice service. The bottom line is that there are pluses and minuses, the minus is that the price is still a little underestimated from what I expected, and the course of price growth is not visible on the screen, only the rates. As for the pluses, the diagnostics showed one painted part, which I had no idea about. The entire inspection procedure and the documentation issued to me from the CarPrice service are free, in addition, another plus is that the money earned for the car can be received immediately.
Igor: I have heard a lot about the CarPrice service, both positive and negative. But after two years of torment with the sale of the 2002 Dodge Durango (who does not know, this is an American monster and you need to feed it with buckets, and nowadays, with space prices for gasoline, this is horror), having contacted this CarPrice service, he sold his SUV in a few hours ...
At the same time, the market price is 450-510 thousand rubles, dealers previously offered about 400 thousand rubles, but the CarPrice service managed to sell transport for 482,000 rubles. This is enough for me, especially the end of a long sale. Who would not say what, but was satisfied with the CarPrice service.
It remains to conclude that the CarPrice service can sell your car in a matter of hours, instantly give the promised amount and at the same time take on all the paperwork for re-issuing. In addition to passenger cars, the service center sells commercial vehicles, motorcycles and scooters. In addition, the network of the fast car sale service CarPrice is expanding at a tremendous pace, you can become both a partner and an employee of the company.
