About CARME Auto

A better way to sell your car.

CARME Auto is a full, OMVIC-registered dealership — and buying cars from people for cash is what we do most. Our office is in Perth, Ontario. We built CARME to take the stress, haggling and runaround out of selling a car — for drivers across Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley.

Our story

Built by a car guy who saw a better way.

The idea for CARME began with Michael, our founder. After more than 17 years in the car business, he’d seen first-hand how stressful and inefficient selling a vehicle could be — the low-ball offers, the haggling, the drives across town and the paperwork.

He set out to combine real-time market data and simple online tools with the personal service of a local dealer. After a lot of research and development, CARME took shape: a smarter, customer-first way to sell your car, with full transparency and no pressure from dealers or private buyers.

Today, CARME gives drivers a modern, hassle-free way to sell with confidence — and a better way to buy their next vehicle, too.

We also buy and sell a lot of classic, antique and exotic cars, and we know them inside and out. Our system gives a starting value, then we check it personally — if the number doesn’t make sense for the car, we set it ourselves. Get an offer on your classic →

What Our Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

"Honestly the easiest way to sell my car in Windsor. I looked at Clutch first but they wanted me to drive to Toronto. CARME called me personally — not a call centre — and had someone pick up my car the same week. I'll be recommending these guys to everyone."

"I got quotes from Clutch and a couple of local dealers before trying CARME. CARME gave me the best price and Michael himself called me — not a call centre. If you want to sell your car in Toronto without the runaround, these are the guys."

"Submitted my truck and had a call back within the hour. Looked at Clutch too but CARME came to me in Ottawa instead of making me drive somewhere. Offer, pickup, payment — done in two days. Couldn't have been easier."

"Best way to sell a car without the private sale headache. I didn't want strangers at my house — CARME came to me in Hamilton, gave a fair price, no haggling, cheque the next day. Easiest car transaction I've ever made."

"Had an active loan on my SUV and wasn't sure who'd buy it. CARME was the fastest option I found in Kingston — they paid out the loan directly and handled all the paperwork. Just signed the ownership and handed over the keys."
