What sets us apart from traditional methods of selling pre-owned automobiles?

Our display space service provides total confidence for everyone involved!

For the owner of a vehicle wishing to sell, we provide a convenient, professionally maintained, and safe environment to rent display space to showcase their vehicle. The owner sets the price and decides how and when to finalize the sale. There is no need for owners to allow unknown people come to their homes to view the car. An owner can get more exposure for their for- sale-by-owner car in one day at Private Party Cars than in 30 days of print advertising!

For the buyer we offer a place where they easily view many different cars quickly and conveniently without the frustration of driving from place to place. Buyers deal directly with the owners of cars and eliminate the high pressure and the high margins dealers impose. Unlike traditional car lots, buyers have the unique ability to learn about the vehicle history. Buyers can also shop with confidence and at their leisure while visiting a Private Party Display Lot. There are no salespeople, just the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Private Party Cars to assist you.

Conventional wisdom says that if you sell your car yourself, you'll probably get a lot more money than you would if you trade it in to a dealer. Still, many sellers lose thousands of dollars by trading in their vehicles. After an hour or more of battling with an aggressive dealer, many people are simply too worn out to resist, so they take what they can get from the dealer, even though they know it's probably a costly mistake.

Private Party Car franchisees make this all possible by bringing buyers and sellers together. They charge sellers a Display Space Rental Fee to display their vehicles on their lot. Income streams for franchisees include:

  • Display Space Rental Fees
  • Test Drive Services
  • Third Party Detail Services
  • Front Line Premium Fees
  • Optional Products

Locations average between .5 acre to 1.5 acres (paved) with a 500+ square foot office facility. Private Party Cars Franchising, LLC has partnered with Grubb & Ellis Property Solutions Worldwide to assist in location selection.
