KSL Cars | January 21, 2025


KSL Cars has always been a virtual showroom of sorts. But now, almost every aspect of the transaction can safely be completed on KSL. This is because of our continued integration of proprietary features, as well as features powered by our new partnership with Caramel. It is simple and secure to buy and sell privately owned cars on KSL.

Vehicle transport

Don’t see what you’re looking for locally? Consider expanding the radius on the location search filter. KSL’s partnership with Caramel gives buyers the option to have the vehicle picked up and transported. So you don’t have to drive 500 miles just to be the man who drove 500 miles to fall down at a Ford’s door … unless you want to.

Make an offer

Once a buyer has researched the market value of a vehicle and determined a fair price to offer, they can initiate an online purchase through KSL Cars. The seller has the option to

  • Accept the offer (yay!)

  • Counter it (let the negotiations begin!)

  • Decline it (how could they refuse?)

Once the offer is accepted, both parties are sent emails to verify their personal identities and the vehicle’s title. 

Obtain financing

The slightest variations in your down payment, loan term and interest rate can make a big difference in your monthly payment. Experts recommend obtaining several quotes to make sure you get competitive vehicle financing for your personal circumstances. But not everyone has the time to do that sort of research.

Let our network do your legwork. Fill out a single loan application on KSL, without leaving the comfort of your own home. Your credit is pulled once by Caramel, an industry leader, and used to obtain competitive rates from some of the nation’s top auto financing companies.

Get coverage

During the checkout process, buyers can also get quotes for auto insurance policies. Those who already have a preferred carrier can skip this step. Vehicle protection plans are also offered during checkout. 

Finalize the sale

Bank? No thanks. And you can also skip the trip to the DMV. 

Buyers who use KSL can complete their purchase digitally by linking their bank account or auto loan to a secure payment platform. The seller is paid 50% of the purchase price when Caramel receives the title and the remaining 50% when the buyer takes possession of the vehicle, which adds another layer of safety to private vehicle sales on KSL. 

All of the required forms are filled out for you and sent electronically to the DMV, so you can drive off into the sunset in the Pontiac Solstice you set your Saved Search on. It doesn’t get any easier to buy and sell used cars than that.
