This place is the place if you want to sell a vehicle with the least amount of hassle. Jerry runs a very tight game and knows the market better than anyone Ive met before, period! I have sold several cars here faster and for more money than I expected.

Have sold 3 cars here over the last 15 years or so. Have always had a great experience. Jerry knows what he’s doing and helps make the paperwork process super easy. I can’t imagine selling a car any other way.

I have bought many cars for me, family, and friends here, and I love the service, but yesterday I just had my car detailed there for $150. The car looks like new now. Highly recommend.

Over the years, I have used them both as buyer and seller. Staff is awesome. They help you make a fair deal on both sides (which is so tricky in this business). They are an iconic part of Berkeley.

Long-standing trustworthy for sale by owner lot. Buggy bank is awesome. Definitely a place to check out if looking for high to low end, quality, diverse selection of used vehicles.

One stop shop removes hassle of selling a car. Owner Jerry is cordial and professional. He did a great job for me, overcoming some hiccups to get a sale at a fair price. Car is listed on BB site with description and photos (reasonable listing fee). You can list other places like Craigslist with a link to BB. Jerry handles test drives, inspections, Smog (your cost), detailing (your cost), and puts interested buyer in touch with you. After you reach a deal, you meet at BB and Jerry does all the paperwork.Great business plan! Even better execution.

Ive bought and sold several cars here over several DECADES, and I dont understand why this business model hasnt propagated widely. My sense from talking to them is that imitators have cut corners, and gotten into legal or financial trouble.Particularly if youre looking for a high end sedan, this is a great place to get a good deal with the aid of an Honest Broker.

I think this is a brilliant idea that helps consumers sell there used vehicles and do all of the paperwork once your car sells. The guy Jerry is a great customer service Rep I would highly recommend this business if you want to buy or sell your vehicle.

My favorite place for car shopping--cheaper than going thru a dealer, so much safer than craigslist. Annoying that its closed on Tuesdays.

So far so good. You get to check out & test drive the car. No pressure & you can talk to the owner about price etc.Update...Buggy Bank is aok, some of the people selling cars there are kind of flaky.

THE ONLY place to sell a car while living your life. No Craigslist creeps or wierdos and Jerry is the nicest guy who is very well informed. I have successfully sold 5 cars through this business over the years.

I didnt end up buying here but I enjoyed looking over the selection and the website is great (at least I like the high resolution photos). Definitely a nice way to sell or buy a used car.

Absolute ZERO stars.The owner Jerry was a very dodgy guy with me through the whole process. Car lot is in a skid row part of Berkeley and it looked like only people on really LOW budgets frequent here looking for cheap junkers.Told me my 2014 Subaru WRX would sell right away.Fast forward 6 mos. later: car did NOT sell despite 2 price reductions.The fun part is when I went to pick up my car today after Jerry called me to get it off the lot.First thing I noticed was that the sticker posted in the window had the WRONG sale price and didnt reflect the current reduced price.The battery was totally DEAD because he never thought to start it up once in a while.The car was on EMPTY as well, so here I sit at a gas station in Berkeley waiting for a jump start from AAA!$550 TOTALLY wasted plus the aggravation of having to deal with weirdo Jerry letting my car just sit there.I would NEVER use Buggy Bank again and I do NOT recommend it.Youre much better off selling at Wheels and Deals in Santa Clara where buyers actually have some cash or biting the bullet and letting it go for cheap at Carmax.Dont sell here!

Today I was at the buggy bank and I was trying to purchase a Mercedes GL 450 from the seller and the seller told me that we would arrange the sale on the paperwork for the DMV and the man Jerry in the buggy bank providing that we didn’t go about it his way he stop the deal from me getting the vehicle. Do not sell your car at the Buggy bank because Jerry will stop your deal from going through. To his own understanding. Thank you for taking the time to listen today.Update: Nov. 8, 2018. I told Jerry go ahead and do it your way. Jerry still told me No. Jerry had already determined what he was going to do. A man happen to come in there asking the same vehicle. He told yeah its still available and the seller happens to be right here. Like I wasnt even standing there. That was very rule and unacceptable. So that tells me right there Jerry has problem with certain individuals. Which at this point again these deals are between seller and buyer. Not Jerry and buyer. Now the Brad the owner is trying to make like I was trying to be dishonest. The point is Jerry does not have right to tell you who can sell your vehicle to. As for you Jerry tell the whole story not bits and pieces.

It is a great way to sell your used cars. It takes all the Hassler way of trying to sell it on your own. Also you can find out a lot about your used car.

Ive dealt with the Buggy Bank as a seller once in 2012, and once back in 2002 or so. They certainly take the hassle out of selling your car. I dropped the car off and, paid their fee. They cleaned the car and helped me price it. A few days later, their ad became public and I got multiple calls from interested buyers. They arranged for the car to be smogged, and I went to their lot a second time to complete the sale.
