Sell my car in Olympia, WA — Bud Clary's Auburn Buy Center is 38 miles away
If you're in Olympia, Thurston County, our Bud Clary Auburn Buy Center is about 35 minutes north on I-5. You don't need to ship your vehicle to an out-of-region online buyer or wait three days for an online buyer's pickup window. Bud Clary's fourteen-store PNW network sits behind every offer we make on a Olympia-area vehicle, which is the structural reason we usually pay more than Carvana, CarMax, or any single-store dealer.

What we typically buy from Olympia-area sellers
Common vehicle types
Trucks, AWD wagons, family SUVs, state-employee sedans
We buy all makes and models — not just the types listed above. The Olympia market has its own patterns, but our network handles everything from economy cars to heavy-duty trucks, from EVs to classic muscle cars, from pristine late-model vehicles to high-mileage work trucks.
What matters is the vehicle's fit within our 14-store network. A Toyota Tacoma from Olympia might go to our Toyota franchise for CPO certification. A Ford Lightning might go to Westlie Ford. A work truck might retail at one of our truck-focused stores. The routing is our problem — you just get the best offer our network can make.
