Enter your VIN, paste your listing link, preview, and print. Buyers scan your sign, see the car’s VIN to match, and go straight to your listing on a major car site, where they see the photos and details and contact you through that site’s own messaging.
Example only. Not a real ad, and this vehicle is not for sale.
Your listing lives on a major car site. ScanAutos is the link from your sign to that ad.
Post it on AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, eBay Motors or Facebook Marketplace.
Type your VIN or scan its barcode with your phone, and we fill in the year, make and model. Confirm it’s your car, then paste your listing link. Price (or Best Offer) and mileage are optional.
See your sign and page first. Then pay once and print at home or at a print shop. Every size is included.
They check the VIN against the car, tap through to your listing and message you there.
Each site runs its own fraud protections. We don’t control or verify them.
Buyers usually message you on the site. Check its settings to keep your number hidden.
Millions of online shoppers, plus every local passer-by who sees your sign.
Every visit, scan, tap to your listing and share shows up in your dashboard, on your phone or your computer. Counts only, never who.

Example numbers. We count taps, we never record names, phone numbers or who someone is.
Selling a car shouldn’t mean handing your phone number, home and habits to strangers.
A number on your window is public to everyone who walks by.
Your sign has a QR code. Private sellers never even give us a phone number.
Buyers message you on the site your listing is on. No messages or calls pass through ScanAutos.
Nothing is shipped, so we never need your address.
Mark it Sold and your sign stops linking. Details are erased soon after, or instantly.
We don’t keep photos of your car. Buyers see them on your listing.
We never sell or share your data. Only limited visit counts and security logs.
“That’s my car”, scam or stolen reports hide a sign while our team reviews them.
No payments, deposits or messages go through ScanAutos. Ever.
Your listing there is public. A few minutes goes a long way.

Every purchase includes every size. Print at home today, or send a print-ready PDF to the shop of your choice.
Dark tinted rear window? Tint can make a QR code hard to scan. Put the sign in an untinted side window, or print the car magnet or yard sign PDF at a print shop to display outside.
Free on your own printer. Regular paper works, and a color printer gives the best results. Perfect for getting a sign up today.
For a sign that lasts longer in the sun, send a print-ready PDF to a print shop: 11×17 window poster, 18×12 car magnet, 18×24 or 24×18 yard sign, or 24×36 poster. Ask for heavy cardstock, gloss or lamination. ScanAutos doesn’t print or ship signs.
Sample signs for illustration only. Not a real listing. The vehicle shown is not for sale.
See page visits, sign scans, taps to your listing and shares, plus the days and times buyers scan most.
Buyers can text, WhatsApp, email or copy a link to your car for a friend in a tap.
Your QR code never changes, and if you change your listing link on a live sign, the new link only goes live after you confirm it by email.
One payment per car. Renewal is manual only: we never charge you automatically. No commission on your sale. Fees are non-refundable once a listing is live, except where required by law (see Terms).
Print at home at no extra cost. A color printer is recommended. Try a free sample first.
Tell us your business name, website, city and how many cars you list. We reply by email.
They scan your sign, see a short preview, and tap through to your listing on AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, eBay Motors or Facebook Marketplace. They message you there, using that site’s own messaging and buyer protections.
Not from us. Your sign has a QR code, not a number, and private sellers never give ScanAutos a phone number. What you share on your listing site is up to you. Most sites let you keep it hidden and use their messaging instead.
AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, eBay Motors and Facebook Marketplace. We only allow links to these major marketplaces, and we check that each link goes to one of them. We don’t control those sites or their protections, and ScanAutos doesn’t verify any listing.
Contact us. Dealer and car-lot accounts are set up by our team: email dealers@scanautos.com with your business name, website, city and how many cars you list, and we’ll reply. We match your business details to your published website. We don’t independently verify dealer licenses, or your right to sell any particular vehicle.
Your preview page shows “Sold” and stops linking to your listing, so nobody keeps reaching out. Seven days after you mark it sold (or seven days after it expires), its details and your listing link are permanently deleted, and your sign’s QR code then shows that the listing has ended.
No. ScanAutos.com is not a dealer, broker or lot and never owns or sells vehicles. Every listing is created and controlled by an independent seller who is a ScanAutos customer. We provide the sign and a preview page that links to the seller’s own listing. The sale is entirely between buyer and seller. Read the full disclaimer.
Report it at scanautos.com/complaint with the code printed on the sign. Reports like this hide the listing while our team investigates.
No, and that’s on purpose. You meet, inspect and agree on payment directly. Never accept gift cards, wires or overpayments.
