Online automotive transactions are nothing new. You can get a car or unload your own without going through the hassle of dealerships. Tred is an online marketplace for cars. Check it out at tred.com. If you’re a buyer, you can search for a vehicle, discuss your choice with the seller and complete the transaction online. You can even schedule a test drive. You can pay for the car using funds from your bank, cash, wire, credit card or ACH (Automated Clearing House). Tred also offers financing options. Once the sale is complete, you can pick up the car or have it delivered ready to drive without going to the DMV.

If you’re selling a car on Tred, the site broadcasts your listing across a network of popular car-buying sites, including Autotrader, Cars.com, Auto.com, Kelley Blue Book, and TrueCar. You also get a free CarFax report. When the transaction is complete, you can release the car to the buyer without jumping through hoops at the DMV.

Payment is secured electronically through the site itself. Are you looking for a Subaru? Tap or click here to see if it made the recent recall.
