Get Your Dream Car.No dealership required.

A better source for better cars—and a much better way to buy one.

So, what is THIScar?

Not a traditional dealership. Not even close.

THIScar is one of the largest direct-from-consumer vehicle buying services in the United States. We resell a very small percentage of the vehicles we are offered directly to the public. We sell and deliver vehicles nationwide and internationally.

Think of us as a direct-to-consumer used vehicle warehouse—built for people who want a cleaner, simpler way to buy or sell a car.

How it works

Better cars in means better cars out.

01

We buy directly.

Our appraisers buy vehicles straight from their owners—not at auction. YOU end up with a much better car.

02

We keep the best.

We carefully select, inspect, and recondition the vehicles worth offering to our customers.

03

You skip the games.

One upfront price and a straightforward process from start to finish.

Not your typical lot by far
