Avoid answering phone calls at all hours.
We live in a changing, reshaping and freshly emerging world. It used to be that when You made the decision to sell Your Car, Boat, RV, or any other vehicle, You had two choices: (1) sell it to a dealer, which can be convenient but often results in a price that is 15-25% less than the private party value; or (2) take on the time consuming challenge of selling it on Your own. Prime Auto Center offers a third option – a service that helps Sellers get more money for their cars without the traditional hassles and risk of transacting in the private market.
Prime Auto Center services are designed for our changing times. We serve online and off-line customers with time-saving convenience, money-saving products, and valuable assistance accessing the massive e-commerce marketplace.

At Prime Auto Center, you buy directly from the owner, with us handling the sale. By purchasing items directly from the owner, you avoid traditional middleman markups and receive true private party values. We help you understand the value by sharing the same market data we use to assist sellers in pricing their items. We want you to feel confident about buying a great item at a fair price.
Our standard 7-Day Money Back Guarantee program, along with the 63-Point System Check and the PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection), provides buyers the peace of mind they need when purchasing a used item online. If a buyer decides to return an item, the seller is fully responsible for any shipping costs involved in the return process.
When an item is listed for sale, we verify the original seller's description and pictures against the actual item’s state and condition, only allowing accurate photos. Our 7-Day Money Back Guarantee program gives you certainty that you will receive the item you're paying for.
The process is completely free for buyers. All transaction fees are the seller's responsibility and are deducted from the sale price at the end of the transaction. There are no hidden fees.
With Prime Auto Center, items may be purchased below the asking price if the seller accepts your offer. Offers must be made directly to the seller, who has complete discretion to accept or decline. Prime Auto Center does not negotiate on the seller’s behalf.
We offer a No-Sale-No-Charge approach to selling cars, boats, trailers, RVs, and other vehicles. There’s an upfront fee of $299, which covers the preparation and marketing of your item for sale. This includes a thorough 63-Point-System-Check inspection, state safety inspection, basic interior and exterior cleaning, a vehicle history report, ad copywriting, and various internet listings. For full detailing, we offer additional services: $100 for sedans and $120 for trucks and SUVs, with quotes for boats, RVs, and other vehicles provided upon request via Contact Us.
After a successful sale, we take a Success Fee directly from the sales proceeds. Our incentives are aligned: if we don’t sell it, we don’t get a success fee.
This structure gives sellers peace of mind, knowing their item is safe in our custody. Additionally, sellers incur no marketing or administrative costs.
While waiting to be sold, we proudly offer a range of Storage Solutions for recreational vehicles, motorcycles, cars, trailers, and personal watercraft. Our facilities are equipped with upgrades and conveniences to ensure your item is protected from the elements in a secure and nearby location until it’s ready for shipping to the buyer. We are dedicated to providing safe storage solutions that make your life easier.
Prime Auto Center handles the time-consuming aspects of selling your item, helping you get the most value without the typical risks and hassles of private transactions. Listing with us provides you with dealership-level support aimed at selling your item quickly and professionally. Our team educates you on market conditions, helps you price the item competitively, and guides you in preparing it for sale, showing it effectively, and advertising it. We manage buyer inquiries, test drives, and provide continuous updates. Once matched with a buyer, we handle all document processing on your behalf.
To get started, we’ll need your contact information (name, address, contact phone, and email address), a copy of your driver’s license, current registration of the item, proof of insurance, title (or lienholder information, if applicable), and any available service records. Additional requirements may apply when the item is picked up.
Our goal is to get you the highest possible price! We aim to present your item in the best possible way in our listings. Here are some tips:
Original manuals, instructions, receipts, appraisals, accessories—anything that came with the item can help increase the final price. Before selling your item with us, take a few minutes to find any related materials you can provide.
Most items sold on platforms like eBay, RV Trader, MachineryTrader, BoatTrader, and Craigslist are used, and buyers expect them to have some wear. However, any defects must be disclosed in the listing! In fact, many buyers are cautious of items described as “perfect” unless they’re new. If you know of any item defects, please inform us at registration. Failing to do so could result in rejection by the buyer, and you would be responsible for fees associated with reversing the shipping process.
