BestOffer.com
The insight behind BestOffer.com is to try and make it a person-to-person deal and cut out the hated used-car dealer. They do this by having a fleet of service vans that ill come out and run an independent, comprehensive inspection of the seller's car. That way the buyer can trust that what they are being told about the car is true.
