    As you may know, the process of selling a car via private party can be cumbersome... You have to handle large sums of money, provide a title, complete registration transfer paperwork. Tred solves this problem. The peace of mind is worth the cost. I sold a car to an out of state buyer and am really happy with how this worked out. Price for the service is fair...Buyer was happy. Would recommend to a friend. Took out all the headache of selling a car myself. I wish ya'll the best of luck.

    This site made things so easy for me. My car literally was sold within 24 hours of me listing it. It's cheap to set up and completely worth it! They took care of all the paperwork and money transfers.

    From the very beginning this company is a nightmare to work with. Communication is terrible. Ability to perform duties as promised is terrible as well. A well oiled machine it is not. They were unable to complete my state's paperwork, so they handed everything back to me and told me to do it and refunded the registration and sales tax they had charged me. But, in addition, they charged me a documentation fee of $200.00 but did absolutely nothing for this $200.00. So, I requested my $200.00 be refunded and they agreed but I have not seen the money even after multiple requests. They should be investigated for their business practices. I would urge anyone and everyone to go elsewhere to buy a car.

    Flawless first experience selling through Tred. I sold my 2013 Ford Escape for the asking price and more than double the car dealership trade-in value. Tred was super responsive for my questions and helped close the deal in under a week with my buyer. They're awesome and will disrupt the used car market for sure! Keep it up!

    I feel like I am dealing with robots and not humans. I have asked several times for an address change as original address was wrong on my temp registration and they just sent me the same thing with no changes. I have explained this to several people via, phone, email and text and I know that the email and text cannot be real people? They just send same answers over and over with no results.

    I signed up with TRED to sell my car on Monday, and it sold on Tuesday--yes, the very next day! I will definitely use this service again. I doubt that I will ever again trade in a vehicle to a dealership. There is no easier way to sell a car.

    You pay $19 to post your ad on the site and if you sell yourself the car to a dealership and delete the ad (since you do not need anymore!!) they are going to charge you $99 for chatting with “Buyers” who never was even serous and took even any offer. Avoid this company, they are the worst.

    I have now sold two vehicles through TRED.com and been able to get top dollar for them. The website is extremely easy to use, features you in several different advertisements and even provides the carfax report. Once your vehicle sells they handle all of the lien and DMV paperwork for you! The service fee is extremely reasonable. I will definitely use them again. Thank you TRED!

    Absolutely amazing! Easy process. Downloaded the TRED app and made the whole process a breeze from listing to selling my vehicle. Whenever I had a question whether on phone or messaging TRED service rep was always helpful and courteous! The whole process could not have been any easier or transparent. This made the notion of visiting a used car dealership seems obsolete and backwards, not to mention NO sleazy pushy salesperson tacking on hidden fees and services. With their screening, no craigslist scammers either! Would recommend TRED 1000%!

    Whenever I had a question or needed additional information, either on the web chat or on the phone, TRED associates would be prompt, knowledgeable and courteous in their response. The entire process of selling my vehicle was incredible, easy, professional... even in the midst of the pandemic. I really appreciated the detail to safety, protection of confidential information, and seamless transactions. I did practically nothing, and my car sold for top dollar! Couldn't be happier.

    TRED was fantastic and efficient. Customer service is phenomenal; they are highly responsive and responded off-business hours with any questions that came up. They made everything so easy, from a safer sale to letting everyone avoid the DMV. I wouldn't sell a car any other way going forward. The fee was very reasonable as well, and definitely worth it.

    Attempted to use their services to sell my vehicle. Paid the initial $19.00. Their listings generated very little interest. Their portal never gave me a trade in amount for the vehicle as they had advertised. If you decide to use their services, beware that once the first person “reaches out” to you, you will be charged $99.00 if you cancel their services. One person contacted me for a test drive and cancelled a few hours later. That one and only contact caused them to charge me $99.00 once I cancelled their services. Their listings did not generate much interest in my vehicle.

    I thought the service was excellent value. You removed a lot of headache and made it really smooth for me. I also liked the price setting piece. I felt like it was hard to find another service that would be willing to say my price was "fair" - and you let me post it at the price I wanted.

    Smoothest transaction ever. Made the car buying and paperwork so easy. Never bought a car with that ease of mind. From scheduling to check the car, from financing the car it was all in one go and I don't have to worry about anything. They also provide with Carfax report so you can buy with ease.

    Every car should be bought this way! I don't normally do this sort of thing, but I was so impressed with how effortless the transaction was that I have to share my experience buying a car through TRED. Just not having to wait at a dealership and sit in a DMV all day is reason enough to use TRED. I would like to thank their entire team for all their hard work and excellent service. I will definitely be using them again!

    I would highly recommend TRED to anyone. The entire process was painless. John went out of his way to make sure all questions I had were answered in a very timely manner. You get the benefits (price) of buying from a private party AND the benefits (loan rates, security, etc) of buying from a dealership.

    I had an excellent experience with TRED purchasing a used Tesla Model S. TRED customer support was very helpful, quick response, and made the entire process of purchasing a car with them very easy. They also followed up after the sale to ensure I was happy with their service. I like how they act as an escrow sort of company for your money so it is safer to ensure your transaction with the private seller is secure and legitimate. I highly recommend TRED and will use them again.

    In my price bracket the charge was $9 to list the car and $99 when they get the car sold. They list in a lot of places so that sounds like great value BUT:

    I got very very little interest through their listings, I am still not sure why, all the interest (over 90%) came from my own listings on FB marketplace and CraigsList. I was still fine with this, since it only cost $9. After I sold the car, completely outside of TRED I was charged the full $99. I was given absolutely ZERO notification of this, no message, email, invoice, nothing. I just noticed it on my CC charges.

    When I complained I was referred to a section at the bottom of the terms of use small print which says that if you get any contact with a potential buyer at all this fee applies. It is hugely different from their main advertising upfront. So be aware that what you are buying is not getting your car sold, not anywhere near that, you are just buying one message... They then fought me on it and told me I was getting great value.

    Neither the seller nor I had ever used the app. It went very smoothly considering some minor hiccups. Using the app was easy. Once we agreed to the price, the transaction went very smooth. After immediately paying for the vehicle, the paperwork was/is a bit confusing because the instructions are about heading to a FedEx facility, where no one at the FedEx place had any idea what we were doing. But it isn’t rocket science, so with a few, do this and do that, and email forms here and print. The transaction was very fast. Fortunately the seller had the vehicle 99% ready to go, and I had brought a friend to drive the car we came to do the test drive in back. Don’t forget to get the Pre-Paid envelope from the seller!!! I didn’t know he was suppose to give it to me. And he may have forgotten. Other than that, no complaints. It was super easy and if I sell I car, I would gladly sell it on TRED.
