Question 1

Is it really free to list my car?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your listing is completely free for 7 days. After that, it simply expires — there is no auto-billing and nothing is charged automatically. If you'd like to keep it live, you can extend for a small one-off fee. We never charge commission, so you keep 100% of the sale price.

Question 2

How is Car Spot different from other car selling sites?

Accepted Answer

Most car sites charge £25–£40 to list and take a commission on the sale. Car Spot is free for 7 days, charges zero commission, and keeps your personal details private — buyers contact you through Car Spot, so your phone number is never shared.

Question 3

How do buyers contact me?

Accepted Answer

Buyers send enquiries through Car Spot. You receive them by email and can respond at your own pace. Your phone number and personal details stay private — you choose who to respond to.

Question 4

What information do I need to create a listing?

Accepted Answer

Just your registration number. We pull the vehicle details automatically from DVLA and MOT records. Then add your photos and set your price — most listings take under 2 minutes.

Question 5

Can I share my listing on social media?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every listing gets a unique link you can share on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Gumtree, or anywhere else. The more places you share, the more buyers you reach.

Question 6

How do I get paid when I sell my car?

Accepted Answer

Car Spot doesn't handle payments. You arrange payment directly with the buyer, just like any private car sale. Bank transfer is the most common and safest method.

Question 7

Do I need to be a dealer to list on Car Spot?

Accepted Answer

Car Spot is built for private sellers — if you're selling your own car, you're in the right place. Dealers should get in touch via our dealers page.

Question 8

I'm a car dealer — can I use Car Spot?

Accepted Answer
