Why sellers choose ClearPath
Matched with a local dealer
We send your car to a partner dealership in metro Atlanta that’s looking for cars like yours.
Free, with no obligation
You never pay us, and you can turn down any offer.
Any car, in any condition
Partner dealers look at every make and model. Be upfront about the rough spots so the offer holds.
The same car is worth more to the dealer who needs it
Dealers price a car by what they’ll do with it next. That’s why offers for the same car can land thousands of dollars apart.
- A dealer who needs your car
- Sells it on their own lot, so they can pay close to what it will sell for, minus the cost of getting it ready and their margin.
- A dealer who doesn’t
- Sends it to a wholesale auction, so the offer has to stay under what it would bring there.
ClearPath sends your details to a partner dealership that’s looking for cars like yours.

Every way to sell a car costs you something
Your time, part of the price, or certainty about the final number. Here’s what each route asks of you, side by side.
| Selling it yourself | Trading it in | Instant online offer | ClearPath | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your time | Days or weeks of listings, messages, and showings | One visit, while you buy your next car | A few minutes online, then an inspection | About a minute online, then a quick in-person look |
| Who you deal with | Strangers, test drives, and scam risk | The dealer selling you your next car | A website or app | A local partner dealership |
| The price | Often the highest, if the right buyer shows up | Usually lower, but it cuts Georgia’s tax on your next car | A formula’s estimate, checked at inspection | From a dealer looking for cars like yours, confirmed in person |
| If you still owe money | You work out the payoff with your lender and the buyer | The dealer pays off your lender | Usually paid off for you | The dealer pays off your lender |
It isn’t the right fit for everyone. With weeks to spare, selling it yourself may bring more money. And if you’re buying your next car from a dealer, compare their trade-in offer, plus Georgia’s tax savings, with an outright offer first. How to compare a trade-in

Questions sellers ask
Anything we missed, ask the dealer when they reach out. Asking doesn’t commit you to anything.
Does it cost anything to use ClearPathCars?
No. ClearPathCars is free for sellers. Our partner dealers pay us, so you never do.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. The offer is yours to take or turn down, and there’s no obligation to sell.
Who actually buys my car?
A ClearPath partner dealership in metro Atlanta. We connect you, and the dealer makes the offer, completes the sale, and pays you directly.
How is my offer decided?
The dealer looks at your car’s year, make, model, mileage, and condition, and at what similar cars are selling for in Atlanta right now. They confirm the details with a quick in-person look before the sale is final.

How is this different from an instant online offer?
An instant offer is a formula’s estimate from what you enter, and it’s checked when someone inspects the car. With ClearPath, a local partner dealer that’s looking for cars like yours makes the offer and confirms the details with a quick in-person look. There’s no obligation either way, so you can get both and take the better one.
How do I get the strongest offer?
Describe the car honestly, including warning lights and damage, so the offer holds up when the dealer sees it. Bring every key and fob and any service records, and clean the car. Ask before paying for a big repair, because dealers can often fix things for less than a shop would charge you.
Can I sell a car I still owe money on?
Yes. The dealer pays off your lender as part of the sale. If the offer is more than you owe, you get the difference. If you owe more, the dealer will walk you through your options.

What about a leased car?
It depends on your leasing company’s rules. Choose “Yes, a lease” in the form and the dealer will check what’s possible.
Do I have to bring my car in?
It’s your choice. Drop it off at the dealership or arrange a pickup, whichever is easier for you.
What do I need to sell my car?
Your title (or your loan details if you’re still paying it off), a valid photo ID, your current registration, and every key and fob.
Who will contact me, and how?
A ClearPath partner dealer will reach out by phone, text, or email using the details you give us.

Why selling a car feels so hard, and how to make it easier
