Does Torque verify every vehicle?

No. Torque requires structured vehicle information and checks certain technical fields such as 17-character VIN format where supported, but Torque does not independently inspect vehicles or guarantee seller-provided information. Buyers should conduct their own research before purchasing.

Should I run a vehicle-history report?

Consider running the VIN through a reputable vehicle-history provider such as Carfax or AutoCheck before purchasing. A history report is one part of due diligence and does not replace an independent physical inspection.

Does Torque guarantee title status or transactions?

No. Title status displayed on Torque is seller-declared unless explicitly stated otherwise. Torque connects independent buyers and sellers; buyers and sellers are responsible for evaluating the vehicle, agreeing on payment, and completing state paperwork.

How is Torque different from general marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace?

General marketplaces allow many types of items to be listed. Torque is built specifically for vehicles, so listings require structured automotive information such as a 17-character VIN and seller-declared title status, giving buyers information to start their research upfront.

Is Torque Auto Marketplace really free for private sellers?

Yes. Creating a vehicle listing is 100% free for private sellers. We charge zero listing fees, take zero commission on sales, and buyers browse and message at no cost.

Marketplace Transparency & Due Diligence

More Information Upfront. Your Decision Still Matters.

Torque requires structured vehicle details upfront, including a 17-character VIN and seller-declared title status. We give you information to start your research, but buyers should still independently review vehicle history, inspect the title, and consider a pre-purchase inspection before buying.
