Shortcut your sale
When you use Caramel, you’ll get a custom link that lets any buyer make you an offer on your car. You can share this link with anyone and post it anywhere. That means it won’t be long until the offers are rolling in.
No buyer needed
If you have a buyer in mind, you can enter their email address. If you don’t, just leave it blank.
It's flexible
Your buyer can initiate an offer to you on Caramel too. If so, you’ll still be able to edit your vehicle details before viewing and responding to their offer.
Enter an asking price for your car. Buyers will then be able to accept, counter, or decline.
If a buyer won your car in an auction at an agreed-upon price, toggle this button on. This prevents your buyer from making a counteroffer.

No waiting
With Caramel, there’s no waiting around for weeks for a buyer’s response. Offers are sent instantly and last for 7 days or until accepted or countered.
Post your link anywhere
Your custom Caramel link can be added to any listing you post to sell your car. Buyers love it too because it gives them a simple and comfortable way to make an offer.

No title, no problem
We automatically detect whether your car has a loan or lease and find your payoff amount. If so, you'll simply confirm this amount and move on.
Upload is a snap
If you don’t have a loan or lease on your vehicle, uploading your title is as easy as snapping a photo of the front & back.
VIN, mileage, & done
Regardless of your title status, you’ll upload photos of your car’s VIN & odometer.
The vehicle price is the price you agreed on with your buyer. If you have a loan or lease, we’ll verify your payoff or buyout and pay you the correct amount.
Your DMV fees & taxes are paid directly to the state and never marked up. Your document fee covers Caramel's costs to complete the transaction and is currently waived.
This is the amount that you’ll be paid.
