Enter your VIN, paste your listing link, preview, and print. Buyers scan your sign, match the VIN, and go straight to your listing on the major car sites, where they see every detail and contact you using that site’s own messaging.
Example only. Not a real ad, and this vehicle is not for sale.
Your listing lives on a major car site. ScanAutos is the link from your sign to that ad.

AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, eBay Motors and Facebook Marketplace. We only allow links to these major marketplaces, and we check that each link goes to one of them. We don’t control those sites or their protections, and ScanAutos doesn’t verify any listing.
Contact us. Dealer and car-lot accounts are set up by our team: email [email protected] with your business name, website, city and how many cars you list, and we’ll reply.

No. ScanAutos.com is not a dealer, broker or lot and never owns or sells vehicles. Every listing is created and controlled by an independent seller who is a ScanAutos customer. We provide the sign and a preview page that links to the seller’s own listing. The sale is entirely between buyer and seller. Read the full disclaimer.
Report it at scanautos.com/complaint with the code printed on the sign. Reports like this hide the listing while our team investigates.
No, and that’s on purpose. You meet, inspect and agree on payment directly. Never accept gift cards, wires or overpayments.
