How it works

How to sell your classic car to CARME in 4 steps.

Our system gives a starting number — someone who knows classics makes the call.

Step 1

Tell us about your car

Year, make, model and kilometres. That’s all we need to start.

Step 2

Answer a few condition questions

Quick taps about how it runs and looks — the details that matter on a specialty car.

Step 3

We price it by hand

Our system gives a starting value, then we check it personally against what cars like yours really sell for, and email you a firm cash offer — good for up to 14 days.

Step 4

Get paid on the spot

Cheque, bank draft or e-transfer when you hand over the keys. Pickup anywhere in Ontario, or drop it off — we handle the paperwork and any loan payout.

Compare your options

Three ways to sell a car.

A private sale might get you top dollar — after weeks of listing photos, lowball messages, no-shows and strangers test-driving your car. Notice which option saves you the most time, stress and risk.

Something else? Email us or read the full FAQ.

How do you price a classic, antique or exotic car?

We buy and sell a lot of classic, antique and exotic cars, so we know them inside and out. Our system gives a starting value from the details you enter; then we check it personally, and if the number doesn’t make sense for your car, we set it ourselves. You get a firm cash offer by email, good for up to 14 days.

Which cars should use this form?

Classic, vintage and exotic cars from 2010 or earlier. For a 2011 or newer car, use our instant offer with your VIN — it prices most cars in about a minute.

Is it a real offer or an estimate?

It’s a real offer, good for up to 14 days. When we meet, we check that the condition, history and kilometres match what you told us. If anything is different, we’ll explain any change before you decide.

Do I have to sell if I get an offer?

No. Getting an offer is free and there’s no obligation. Say yes, or walk away — no follow-up pressure. The decision is always yours.

How do I get paid?

We pay you on the spot — by cheque, bank draft or e-transfer. Every deal is different, so we work with you to make it stress-free and at your convenience.

I still owe money on my car. Can I still sell it?

Yes. We pay your lender directly and you get the difference. There’s a $299 lien payout fee, and lenders usually take 10–30 days to release the lien.

Customer Reviews

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 needed to sell my car fast in the Ottawa area and CARME was the quickest option I found. Submitted online, got an offer within a minute, whole process done in two days. Painless — I'd recommend CARME to anyone."

L
Laura MacDonald

★★★★★

"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."
