Hi, we’re Shift!

If you’ve never met us, here’s a little of what we’re about: Shift is on a mission to disrupt old-fashioned car buying and selling because we knew there had to be a better way. In fact, we’re helping to reinvent it.

But enough about us, let’s talk about you (and your car).

There’s never been a better time to sell your car. Especially to Shift!

We’re holding a Car to Cash event on January 22nd and 23rd, at Lot C (enter through Gate 3) in Santa Anita Park. We’ll be there from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. both days to make you an offer on eligible cars with less than 100,000 miles and buy your car right then and there.* And if you sell your car to us, we’ll give you a Lyft home! 

Here’s what’s you can expect at the Car to Cash event:

✔ No-obligation evaluation: We’ll take a look at your car, noting all its bells and whistles, and then make you an offer based on thousands of data points including your local market demand. 

✔ Free coffee: Join us Saturday or Sunday and you can have a complimentary caffeine boost from our onsite coffee truck (10a – 3p) while we evaluate your car. 

✔ Complete your transaction in about an hour: Ready to sell at the event? Great, that means you’ll get a $400 bonus if you sell to us on the spot! We’ll handle all the paperwork and get you on your way.

✔ Get paid straight to your bank account: Your digital payment is initiated within 48 hours of selling your car, but it may take your bank 3-7 business days to have the funds be available in your account. 

✔ Get a free ride home: No need to spend all the new cash on a rideshare home. We’ve partnered with Lyft to offer free rides, up to $25, to anyone that sells their car at the event. 

*Don’t forget that your keys, title, registration, and loan or lease payoff statement must be available at the time of sale. $400 bonus is only eligible to those who sell their car on the spot at the event. See terms and conditions below for more details.

Get a jumpstart on that bonus and let us know you’re coming to the event. RSVP here!
