Free 30-day listing · No AutoTrader fee · No card

Sell My Car.
Keep Every Penny.

Q: Is it really free to list my car?

Yes — your listing is completely free for 30 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.

Q: What happens when my listing expires?

Your listing becomes inactive after 30 days. You can extend it from your dashboard — any paid extension is added on top of your remaining time, so you never lose a day.

Q: Do you take a cut when my car sells?

No. We charge zero commission. The money your buyer pays goes directly to you.

Q: Are there any other costs?

The only costs are the optional paid extensions shown above. There are no setup fees, listing fees, or success fees.

Q: How is Car Spot different from other car selling sites?

Most car sites charge £25–£40 to list and take a commission on the sale. Car Spot is free for 30 days, charges zero commission, and keeps your personal details private — buyers contact you through Car Spot, so your phone number is never shared.

Q: How do buyers contact me?

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.

Q: What information do I need to create a listing?

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.

Q: Can I share my listing on social media?

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.

Q: How do I get paid when I sell my car?

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.

Q: Can I relist a car I previously marked as sold?

Yes. From your dashboard you can re-list a sold car and choose a new listing duration.

Private messaging

Chat with buyers.
Without sharing your number.

On Car Spot, sellers and buyers talk in real time through secure chat. Your phone number and email stay hidden — buyers identify themselves first, you get notified instantly when a message lands, and you choose if and when to share contact details.

Number & email hidden. Your contact details are never shown publicly on your listing. Nothing for scrapers or scam tools to harvest.
Real-time chat with notifications. Talk to buyers instantly through Car Spot. Get a notification the moment a message lands — reply right away or when it suits you.
Qualify, then share. Buyers identify themselves first, so you always know who you're talking to. When one's ready to meet, share your number with that specific buyer — not the whole internet.

No spam, no scam

Free listings shouldn't
cost you your privacy.

Plenty of free listing sites publish your phone number, email and exact location — and the spam and scam calls follow. Car Spot is free for 30 days too, but your contact details stay hidden by default. Chat with buyers in real time; share your number only when you're ready to meet.

Only an approximate location. Buyers see a rough area (around 5km accuracy) and the outward part of your postcode — e.g. 'SW1A', not the full code. Your exact address is never published.
No spam, by design. Because your contact details aren't published, there's nothing for scrapers or scammers to harvest — and nothing to leak into the wider internet.
Same protection for buyers. Buyers ask questions and arrange viewings without giving out their number either. Both sides get the same privacy.
Block or end a chat anytime. Don't like how a conversation's going? End it. There's no phone number for them to keep calling.
