Shopping online opened up the whole country, which means the best deal on the car you want might be sitting on a lot 1,500 miles away. Sahara Auto Transport closes that gap. Our online car purchase delivery service picks up vehicles from dealerships, independent lots, private sellers, and online marketplaces, then brings them to your driveway. You skip the one-way flight and the long drive home, and the car arrives with its condition documented from the moment it leaves the seller.
Pickup from a seller works a little differently than moving your own car. Dealers usually need a release or confirmation that the car is paid in full before they hand it to a driver, and some lots require a gate pass or a specific pickup contact. Private sellers need to know who is coming and when. We coordinate those details with the seller using the information you provide, so the driver does not show up to a locked gate or a confused salesperson.
Because you may not have seen the car in person, the pickup inspection matters even more. The driver records its condition on the Bill of Lading, and we encourage you to compare those notes with the listing photos. At delivery, you inspect it again before signing. Any difference between the two reports is on paper, which is exactly the kind of record you want when buying a car sight unseen. It also gives you peace of mind on day one with your new car.

Before you schedule pickup from a seller
Settle payment and paperwork first. Most dealers will not release a car until funds clear, and a private seller should not hand over keys until the sale is complete. Ask the seller how the title will reach you: dealers typically handle the transfer or mail it, while private sellers may sign it over in person or by mail. Never leave the original title inside the car for transport.
Get the seller's pickup hours, any release number, and the name of the person who will meet the driver, then share them with us. If the car has a temporary tag, confirm it stays valid through delivery. When the car arrives, check the VIN against your paperwork, inspect the body, and test the basics before signing the Bill of Lading. Note anything new on the delivery report so it can be addressed with the carrier.
