Why us?

Find the perfect used cars for sale by owner near you.

Tired of pushy salespeople and marked-up prices at dealerships? That's exactly why we created Shop Used Cars By Owner – the online marketplace where real people sell their cars directly to buyers like you. No dealers allowed. Just regular folks selling their personal vehicles.


Our story starts from frustration. We got tired of Facebook marketplace scams, dealership markups and inflated prices due to "optional add-ons" which you find out later on are not so optional.


We knew there had to be a better way. So we built one. Shopusedcarsbyowner.com connects private sellers with buyers directly. No middleman fees. No commission markups. No games. Just straightforward car sales between real people who want honest transactions.

Join Thousands Who've Ditched Dealerships

Within two weeks, I connected with a retired mechanic selling his pristine Toyota Tacoma. He walked me through every modification, explained why he chose specific aftermarket parts, and let me bring my own mechanic for inspection without batting an eye. The money I saved by avoiding dealer fees went straight into new tires. This platform strips away the artificial complexity dealers inject into car buying.

ShopUsedCarsByOwner transformed my car search from exhausting dealership visits to meeting neighbors I never knew existed. The platform's local focus meant test driving cars in my area and buying from someone whose kids attended the same school as mine. My seller invited me to see the car multiple times, answered late-night text questions, and shared the mechanic they trusted for the past decade. When you buy from individuals, you gain community connections that last beyond the sale.

Shopping for my daughter's first car felt like navigating a minefield until I discovered Shopusedcarsbyowner.com Every listing connected me directly with actual car owners who knew their vehicle's history inside and out. The seller I bought from showed me every maintenance receipt dating back three years. Zero dealer markups, zero pressure tactics, just straightforward conversations and fair prices.
