private. is a marketplace for private-party vehicles only — no dealerships, no spam listings, no middlemen.
Verified members on private. — only email/phone-verified accounts are counted.
We built the marketplace we always wanted — one that actually puts buyers and sellers first.
Only verified private sellers. Zero dealer listings, ever. If it's here, a real person owns it.
Every seller is identity verified before listing. Buy with confidence knowing who you're dealing with.
No spam. No bots. No recycled dealer inventory dressed up as private sales.
Secure in-app messaging, VIN validation, and scam protection built into every transaction.
Simple for buyers. Simple for sellers.
