Growing online used-vehicle broker CarLotz has opened its ninth and tenth locations in Seattle, Wash., and Orlando, Fla., according to a press release.  

The Seattle-area site, located at 20612 Hwy. 99 in Lynnwood, Wash., is the first CarLotz hub on the West Coast and is approximately 15 miles north of downtown Seattle.

“Our expansion to the West Coast is a giant leap in achieving our national expansion mission,” CarLotz co-founder and CEO Michael Bor said in the release. “We are particularly excited for Seattle because it is an amazing market filled with early adopters of disruptive technologies and processes.”

The Orlando-area site, located at 1700 E. Merritt Island Causeway in Merritt Island, Fla., is the second CarLotz hub in Florida.

“CarLotz was founded on the idea that we could greatly improve the process of buying and selling used cars,” Bor said. “We disrupted the category and rethought the whole process. Florida has been a successful market for us with a proven track record at our original hub in Tampa, and we are thrilled to be able to provide even more inventory to our guests in Florida.”

Bor says that customers using CarLotz get more value out of their transactions, whether they are buying or selling a used vehicle. 

“Our model is actually quite simple,” he said. “CarLotz puts more value back in the hands of buyers and sellers. Through our unique consignment-to-retail model, customers can get more money for their car when selling through CarLotz, and more car for their money when buying from CarLotz.”
