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.
