Frequently asked questions.
Questions not answered on this page are handled through the contact form.
Buying
Who sells each car? +
The inventory brings together cars from LYN AutoSale and its partner dealerships. Each car's page names the dealership selling it, and inquiries and reservations about that car go to that dealership.
How is a test drive or a reservation requested? +
From the car's page, with a preferred date and time. The dealership receives the request and confirms by phone or email.
Selling
What does selling a car through LYN AutoSale cost? +
A commission on the sale, as a percentage or a fixed amount, which LYN AutoSale agrees when approving the listing. The seller's account shows the commission and what they would receive when the car sells.
What is needed to list a car? +
An account, the car's details, a price and at least one photo. The listing goes to review, and LYN AutoSale approves it or gives the reason for rejecting it.
Can a listing be edited? +
While it is a draft or after a rejection. A listing under review or already published cannot be changed from the account.
Financing
How is credit applied for? +
With the online credit application, from a car's page or from the financing page. The dealership receives it and presents it to the lenders it works with.
How are the Social Security and ID numbers protected? +
They are encrypted on receipt. Only authorized dealership staff can view them, and every view is recorded.
Account
How is the account accessed? +
With a link sent to the email address. It expires in 15 minutes and works once. A password is optional and is set from Security.
What alerts does the account send? +
With notifications on in the browser, an alert when the price of a car saved to favorites drops.
