Start with your budget — not the sticker price. Carpay Shop is a used-car marketplace built around one question: what can you actually afford? Tell us the cash you can put down and the monthly payment you're comfortable with, add your ZIP code, and we'll show you buy here, pay here cars that fit — from dealers near you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your budget. Cash down, a comfortable monthly payment, and your ZIP. 2. Browse cars that fit. Every car is shown against YOUR budget, with photos, mileage, and the dealer's city. 3. Save what you like. Tap the heart to save a car, or save the whole search. 4. Reach out. Send an inquiry to the dealer to check availability, or message the Carpay team with a question. WHAT YOU GET • Budget-first search — by down payment and monthly budget, not just price • Cars near you — 15 to 250 miles from your ZIP, or nationwide • Filters that matter — car, SUV, truck, coupe, van; distance; sort by lowest monthly or lowest down • Saved cars and saved searches, with optional alerts when new cars match • Free messaging — ask a Carpay team member about a car, availability, or a test drive • Call or text us in one tap from any car • No account and no password — start browsing immediately • No credit check to browse or inquire on Carpay ABOUT THE CARS Carpay Shop lists inventory from independent buy here, pay here dealerships. Listings shown as dealer-confirmed have been provided or confirmed by a participating dealer; others are compiled from dealer sources and may be unverified. Vehicles and terms can change or be withdrawn at any time. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CarPay is not a car dealership and not a lender. We do not sell vehicles, make credit decisions, run credit checks on shoppers, or set payment terms. Any purchase, financing, trade-in, or test drive is strictly between you and the dealer, and the dealer sets and confirms all terms. "No credit check" refers only to browsing and submitting an inquiry on Carpay — it does not apply to buying a vehicle or to any financing a dealer may offer, which may involve a credit review. Nothing in this app is an offer of credit, an approval, or a guarantee of price, payment, terms, condition, or availability. You must be 18 or older to submit an inquiry. Questions?
