How swapt works
About 10 minutes of your time. Then dealerships call you.
Dealerships look at your car
Once it has at least 4 photos, your car goes out to dealerships across Ontario. A limited number of them get your name, phone and email, and we tell you who they are.
You talk to them and decide
They call you about price and pickup. You can sell to one of them or to none. The dealership pays you directly, outside Swapt.
Sound familiar?
One buyer means one opinion of what your car is worth.
“Is this available?”
Forty messages, two no-shows, a haggler at your door. You’re the photographer, the ad writer, the scheduler and the security.
One number, buried in fine print
The trade-in offer comes from the person buying your car, wrapped in adjustment factors, conditions and a new-car deal you can’t untangle.
Take it or leave it
Instant offers are convenient. But it’s one buyer naming one price, and nobody has to beat it.
In all three, you deal with one buyer at a time. On Swapt, more than one dealership can call you about the same car.
It’s not magic.
It’s swapt.
Look up your car, profile it in about 10 minutes, and send it to dealerships across Ontario. Listing is free, and Swapt never charges sellers.

Sell your car with confidence
Run it all from your phone
Guided photos, your listing and the names of the dealerships that got your details, all in the browser. Nothing to install.
Skip the classified ad
You don’t write an ad or field messages from the public. For the paperwork, Ontario’s rules are in our guide to selling a car.
Still owe on it?
You can still sell. Tell us on the listing, and tell the dealership when it calls. Your lender gets paid out first and you keep what’s left.
Sell my car FAQs
Nothing. Sellers pay no fee at any stage. Dealerships pay Swapt for access to a seller’s contact, whether or not they end up buying the car.
A limited number of dealerships that want your car get your name, phone and email. We show you the number when you list. It’s a setting on our side and it can change after you list. We tell you which dealerships got your details, and your number isn’t posted anywhere.
No. You agree the price with the dealership directly, and you can say no to all of them. If you withdraw your car later, dealerships that already have your details keep them.
No. On Swapt, an offer is what a dealership offers to pay us for your contact. It says nothing about what the dealership will pay you, and we don’t show you those amounts. The price of your car is what you agree when a dealership calls.
No. Dealerships sign up on their own and give an OMVIC number, and we don’t check it. Before you hand over a car, look the dealership up on OMVIC’s public search.
Then nobody calls and you owe nothing. You’ve lost about ten minutes.
Yes. Tell the dealership what you owe when it calls. The loan has to be paid out before the lien comes off, and you keep what’s left.
Ontario requires both in most private sales, and its pages don’t cover selling to a dealer. Ask the dealership what it needs. Our guide has the rules.
Nobody, unless you arrange it. A dealership calls first, and you agree together where and when the car changes hands.
About 10 minutes to profile your car. Some dealerships may get your details as soon as the car goes out, and the rest when offers close, normally 24 hours later. It can take up to 7 days.
There’s no guarantee. What changes is that more than one dealership can call you about the same car, so you can compare what they say before you decide. A trade-in also saves you HST, so compare the two properly.

Before you publish
What to expectProfile the car, see your estimate and decide. Nothing goes live until you publish, and listing costs nothing.
Once your car is out
What to expectDealerships look at it. Some may get your details right away, and the rest when offers close. We text you, and email you each dealership’s name.
When they call
What to expectKeep your phone nearby. Dealerships call to talk price and pickup. Ask each one what it would pay, and look it up on OMVIC’s public search.
If you sell
What to expectYou agree price, payment and pickup with the dealership, and it pays you directly. Swapt isn’t part of the sale and never holds your money.
