"This is a game-changer for private-party vehicle sales," said Brad Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of PrivateAuto. "The Loan Lookup and Payoff feature represents a significant step forward in simplifying private vehicle sales. It allows sellers to obtain accurate payoff quotes quickly, eliminating the need to contact lenders separately or wait for mailed responses. Our technology eliminates these barriers, offering a streamlined, transparent process for both buyers and sellers."
Benefits for Sellers:
Ability to sell vehicles with existing loans privately

Benefits for Buyers:

One of the primary challenges is the intricate amount of trust required between a buyer and seller when a loan is involved. Sellers with outstanding loans face the dilemma of finding buyers willing to hand over large sums of money without immediate possession of the title, a scenario that understandably makes many potential buyers hesitant.
For sellers, the process often involves coordinating with their lender to obtain accurate payoff quotes, which can fluctuate daily due to accruing interest. They must also navigate potential prepayment penalties and the complexities of lien releases. Buyers, on the other hand, must grapple with the uncertainty of purchasing a vehicle that still has a lien, often requiring them to meet at the lender's location or trust the seller to transfer the title after receiving payment. With PrivateAuto, buyers and sellers have the confidence to navigate all of these issues without exhaustive intermediaries.
"We're not just simplifying the process; we're fundamentally changing how private-party vehicle sales occur," Parker added. "This feature empowers sellers to maximize their returns and gives buyers confidence in purchasing vehicles with existing loans."
The loan payoff feature is now live and available on PrivateAuto.com.
