ATOBAN is a managed private-sale service that represents car owners throughout the selling process. We handle pricing strategy, listing placement, buyer communication, negotiation, and sale guidance so you can sell for private-party value without doing the work yourself.
Traditional listing sites simply post your car and leave you to deal with buyers.
ATOBAN actively manages the sale on your behalf. We screen buyers, handle messages and negotiations, protect your privacy, and guide the transaction from start to finish.
First, we provide a price analysis comparing dealer offers to private-party demand.
If the numbers make sense, you move forward with a $99 setup fee and we publish and manage your listing across major buyer channels.
You approve every offer. We earn a success fee only if your car sells.
Results vary by vehicle and market conditions.
On average, ATOBAN sellers keep $3,000–$9,000 more than dealer or instant-buy offers when a private-party sale makes sense.
