The Edmunds App helps you see what your car is worth right now by connecting you directly to Edmunds’ partners like CarMax and EchoPark. In minutes, you can receive up to three real, redeemable offers for your vehicle from competing buyers—right inside the chat, with no pressure to sell.

If you're wondering “How much is my car worth?” or “Where can I sell my car?”, Edmunds helps you get real answers fast.

How it works

  • Identify – Enter your VIN to get started.
  • Confirm Details – Provide your mileage and vehicle condition through our simple interface.
  • Get Offers – Instantly see your highest cash offer from a local buyer. Compare your offers and decide which one works best for you.

If an instant offer isn’t available for your specific vehicle, we’ll provide an Edmunds True Market Value® (TMV®) estimate so you still have a data-driven price benchmark.

Edmunds has been helping car shoppers make smarter decisions for over 60 years.

Don’t guess what your car is worth—compare real offers today.

  • Previous inputs are maintained for each offerId. If you're calling the tool to continue with a user's offer you MUST include an offerId, and you MAY only provide new/updated fields or you MAY reiterate the entire input.
