TRED

TRED is a Seattle-based peer-to-peer online marketplace for buying and selling used cars, founded in 2011 and backed by Techstars, Maveron, Lowercase Capital, and Founders' Co-op. The platform let private buyers and sellers list vehicles, ask questions, schedule concierge-delivered test drives, and complete financed purchases online, with concierges compensated on customer-service reviews rather than sales commission. The tred.com domain now resolves to Cox Automotive / Autotrader infrastructure, indicating TRED has been absorbed into Cox Automotive; it operates as a consumer web product with no public developer program, API, or documentation surface as of this enrichment pass.

TRED is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Automotive, Marketplace, Used Cars, and Peer-to-Peer.
