Buy it, sell it, or send it anywhere.
Carneed is a small, family-owned shop that works the whole country. Most of the cars leave Northbrook on a truck.
- Buy a car
- Enthusiast-grade pre-owned: low-mile Mercedes, Audi RS and Allroad, BMW M, Porsche, the occasional Ferrari. Every car is photographed in detail so you know exactly what you're getting before you drive up or fly in.
- Sell or trade in
- Bring the car, the keys and the records. You get a straight number for an outright purchase or a trade against anything in the showroom.
- Nationwide purchase and delivery
- Buyers from Colorado to the coasts. Carneed handles the paperwork, arranges enclosed transport and keeps you posted until the car is in your driveway.
- Bring a Trailer consignment
- As a BaT Local Partner, Carneed prepares, photographs and runs your auction so the car reaches the right bidder. How it works.
- Inspection and detailing
- Cars are gone through and detailed before they're listed, not after they're sold.
- Financing
- Available on most cars. Ask us what fits; terms depend on the car and the buyer.
A Bring a Trailer Local Partner, one of four in Illinois.
Bring a Trailer is where enthusiast cars sell to enthusiast buyers. Carneed has been a BaT seller since November 2020 and is an official Local Partner: if you want to auction your car there without doing the work yourself, this is the place.
- 1Bring the car to Northbrook, or have it collected.
- 2Carneed inspects, details and photographs it the way BaT bidders expect.
- 3The listing is written, questions are answered, the auction runs for a week.
- 4Sold. Carneed handles payment, title and shipping to the winner.
Family owned in Northbrook since 2020.
Carneed started in 2020 on Commercial Avenue, a few minutes off the Edens. The idea was simple: buy cars an enthusiast would buy, present them honestly, and put them in front of people anywhere who will appreciate them. Today the cars go out to every corner of the country, and the showroom still feels more like a gallery than a lot.
Every listing gets a proper shoot, a proper write-up and a straight answer to any question. If you follow @_carneed_, you have already seen the stories: the V12 S600 coupe that went to auction, the manual RS4 that left for Colorado, the EuroVan that found its person.
Closer to home, Carneed is the official pace-car sponsor of the 2026 Northbrook Grand Prix, leading the field in an electric Porsche Taycan.
