SAN FRANCISCO -

Shift is selling cars in Texas for the first time.

The used-vehicle ecommerce platform said Monday that consumers in the Austin-San Antonio region can buy and sell cars through Shift.

Consumers could already sell their vehicles to Shift in four of the state’s markets, but this move marks the first full-service market where they can buy from Shift.

“It has long been our goal to be able to serve the communities of Texas with a fair, accessible process for purchasing a vehicle,” Shift co-chief executive officer Toby Russell said in a news release.

“We believe Texans are ready for a smarter way to buy used cars, and we're excited to be able to offer that.”

Shoppers throughout Texas can tap into the company’s online purchase purchase. And consumers in the greater Austin-San Antonio region can utilize Shift’s at-home test drives, the company said.

There are now a combined seven markets throughout California, Texas, Washington and Oregon where consumes can utilize Shift’s in-person buyer experience.
