Buyers scan your sign, see a quick preview, and go straight to your listing on the major car sites. There they can see every detail and contact you using that site’s own messaging.
Example only. AI-generated image. 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.
Post it on AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, eBay Motors or Facebook Marketplace.
Paste the link, add the price, model and a photo. No phone number needed.
Print at home and tape it in the window. Color printers work best.
They see a preview, open your listing and message you there.
Each site runs its own fraud protections. We don’t control or verify them.
Buyers usually message you on the site. Check its settings to keep your number hidden.
Millions of online shoppers, plus every local passer-by who sees your sign.
Selling a car shouldn’t mean handing your phone number, home and habits to strangers.
A number on your window is public to everyone who walks by.
Your sign has a QR code. Private sellers never even give us a phone number.
Buyers message you on the site your listing is on. No messages or calls pass through ScanAutos.
Nothing is shipped, so we never need your address.
Mark it Sold and your sign stops linking. Photos and details are erased soon after, or instantly.
Hidden GPS data is removed on your phone, before upload.
We never sell or share your data. Only limited visit counts and security logs.
“That’s my car”, scam or stolen reports hide a sign while our team reviews them.
No payments, deposits or messages go through ScanAutos. Ever.
Your listing there is public. A few minutes goes a long way.
Read the full Privacy Policy and Safety tips.
Every plan includes both. Print them whichever way suits you.

For a sign that lasts longer in a sunny window, send the PDF to an office supply store or local print shop. Ask for heavy cardstock, a glossy finish or lamination. It usually costs just a few dollars.
Pro Print adds print-ready PDFs for 11×17, car magnet, 18×24 yard signs and 24×36 posters. Print them at the shop of your choice.
Sample signs for illustration only. Not a real listing. The vehicle shown is not for sale.
See how many people scanned your sign and viewed your page.
Buyers can text or WhatsApp your car to a friend in a tap.
Your QR code never changes, and new links on a live sign only go live after you confirm them by email.
With Pro Print, dealers whose business details we’ve matched add Call, Text, WhatsApp and Email buttons that only work while you’re open. Your details must match your published business website. We don’t verify dealer licenses or the right to sell any vehicle.
One payment per car. Renewal is manual only: we never charge you automatically. No commission on your sale. Fees are non-refundable once a listing is live, except where required by law (see Terms).
Print at home at no extra cost. A color printer is recommended. Try a free sample first.
Contact buttons need a dealer account with matched business details. Larger signs are print-ready PDFs for any print shop, and printing is arranged with them directly.
They scan your sign, see a short preview, and tap through to your listing on AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, eBay Motors or Facebook Marketplace. They message you there, using that site’s own messaging and buyer protections.
Not from us. Your sign has a QR code, not a number, and private sellers never give ScanAutos a phone number. What you share on your listing site is up to you. Most sites let you keep it hidden and use their messaging instead.
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.
Yes. With Pro Print, dealers can add Call, Text, WhatsApp and Email buttons that only work during business hours, plus their logo, address and license number. We match your business name and contact details to your published business website before your signs go live. We don’t independently verify dealer licenses, or your right to sell any particular vehicle.
Your preview page shows “Sold” and stops linking to your listing, so nobody keeps reaching out. A few days after a listing ends, its photos and details are permanently deleted.
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.
