How do I list a vehicle for sale?
It's simple. Just go to the home page, click on the "Sell" button, and you're on your way. We've designed the site so that it's easy for you to enter the details.

Can I upload a photo of the vehicle?
Yes. Your photo/image must be in either a .jpg or.gif file format. Follow the easy instructions to post your vehicle's photo/image as part of your listing information. You can also add a photo through the 'Modify Listing' dialog. NOTE: Please make sure the photo image size is close to 72 dpi and no larger than 4 in. x 6 in. in physical size. Also, make sure the image file name contains no characters such as commas, pound signs, or dollar signs before the .jpg or .gif designation.

If I want to change the selling price, or use a new email account, can I modify the listing?
Yes. We've made it easy for you to update your user account (i.e., add an email, change an address, change a phone number), your vehicle listing (i.e., change the selling price), or remove a listing at any time. Just click on the "My Account" link to make your updates.

I don't have a "For Sale" sign for my vehicle, what do I do?
There's a special sharpcar.com "For Sale" promotional sign that ties directly into your sharpcar.com listing. E-mail us at cservice@sharpcar.com and we'll direct you to the closest retail location to buy this sign.

How long will my listing appear on sharpcar.com?
From time to time, we will remove listings over six months old.

What should I do if I sell my vehicle?
In order to provide sharpcar.com buyers with valid offerings, please delete your listing as soon as you sell your vehicle. By doing so, you'll also stop e-mails and phone calls on your already-sold vehicle.

Who determines what vehicles are listed?
The sellers who have chosen to list their vehicles with sharpcar.com.

And, the price of the vehicles?
The sellers determine the price on the vehicles that they've listed on sharpcar.com.

Will I be contacted by auto dealers?
On occasion, auto dealers will survey our inventory and contact auto sellers. This is done to both offer you a price for your vehicle, and determine if you are interested in purchasing a replacement vehicle. You are not obligated in any way to communicate with the dealer.

How many listings are available at sharpcar.com?
Listings are added every hour! If you don't at first spot what you're looking for, bookmark this site, and check back periodically -- otherwise you might miss a vehicle that you really want to buy.

I am interested in a vehicle that I have seen with a sharpcar.com sign in the window. It showed a Sharpcar ID number. Can I search using that number?
Yes. Just go to the BUY A CAR section of the site, enter the ID# in the first search field, and that particular listing will appear.

Are there different ways that I can search the sharpcar.com listings?
Yes. There are three ways to search for vehicles on the sharpcar.com site.
. You may view vehicles in the entire database by selecting "GO" in the first area.
. Or, below that area, you may enter a sharpcar.com ID number in the search field then select "GO".
. Or, further below, you may use the SHARPCAR SHOPPER to conduct a search for you by selecting "GO".

How does the Sharpcar Shopper work?
As a convenience to potential buyers, the Sharpcar Shopper automatically locates vehicles within our database and forwards the listings to the shopper.

How can I communicate with sellers?
You can either use e-mail or phone them. This information is provided, once you have searched through the database. If you are interested in a 'Dealer' car, you must provide info for the sales agent to contact you.

What if they don't respond?
Sharpcar.com does not record or track any buyer/seller communications. If you don't hear back from sellers, we suggest you attempt to contact them again.

Do I have an obligation to purchase a sharpcar.com-listed vehicle once I've contacted the seller?
No. All vehicle correspondence and discussions, including those pertaining to price, are strictly between the buyer and seller, and do not involve sharpcar.com.

How can I be removed from the sharpcar.com database?
Simply address an email to webmaster@sharpcar.com and request that your name be removed from our database.

I created a user account and then created a vehicle listing..but I did not receive my sharpcar.com ID number.
Cause - If a sharpcar.com ID number is not shown to you, the vehicle listing was not established. Usually, this happens when a character such as a comma, dollar sign, or pound sign is used in the mileage and asking price fields.	Solution - DO NOT HIT THE BACK BUTTON TO CREATE A NEW VEHICLE LISTING. Go to the MY ACCOUNT section of the site, enter your user name and password. You should notice that no vehicle listings have been created. If this is the case, you should then create a new listing. Remember NOT to use any special characters in the mileage and asking price fields (in fact, you should not use any special characters in any fields).
I have uploaded a photo/image of my vehicle, but it does not appear by my listing.
Cause - Most likely, the filename of the photo/image contains a character such as a pound sign (#).	Solution - Rename the file using only letters and/or numbers before the .jpg or .gif designation
When I try to upload an image of my vehicle, it takes a long time. Then I see a message that the "scripting has timed out".
Cause - The image file is too big.	Solution - Make sure the image resolution is at the lowest setting (usually, it is described as email or normal resolution), which is 72 dpi. Also, make sure the physical size of the image is no larger than 5 " x 7". After doing this, not only will the photo/image upload successfully, it will display quickly to anyone wishing to view the listing.
Even though I am sure I am using the right user name and password, I can't get into my account to make changes or delete a vehicle listing.
Cause - You might not realize it, but are using the wrong user name and/or password. We find that people creating vehicle listings will use a slightly different user name or password than they recall.	Solution - Go to the sign-in page in the MY ACCOUNT section of the site. Request your user name and password. When you receive them in an email message simply copy and paste the user name and passwords into the appropriate fields.
