dan-jackson··on Show HN: What's My Car Worth?
yes agree we have a plan to move that to notify dealers step which is optional maybe remove altogether however... there are dealers willing to make an offer to buy your car without an inspection right now and at some point they will need your VIN to finalize the offer and come pay you and pick up your car. great feedback and we will move VIN asap.
dan-jackson··on Show HN: What's My Car Worth?
please check out our new "what's my car worth" feature and share any feedback you have.

after you get a valuation there is an optional "sell my car" service where you can request offers from multiple local dealerships to get the best price when selling your current vehicle.

we are actively making improvements to this sell my car online functionality and greatly appreciate your input...

whether it's regarding issues with the valuation estimate we provide for your vehicle...

or user flow feedback like "please move VIN to the notify dealers page i don't want to share that just to get the market value estimate"

:)

thank you!
