OLX Autos
OLX Autos is India's largest peer-to-peer platform for used cars. High traffic, free basic listings, and a very large buyer pool. Negotiate directly with buyers — no dealer intermediary cuts your return.
- Pro: Free, massive reach, direct buyer contact
- Con: High enquiry noise — expect lowball offers and tire-kickers
- Con: Limited verification — scam risk requires careful screening
Cars24
Cars24 offers instant cash offers and doorstep inspection. Fast and convenient, but expect to receive 10–20% below private sale value. Best if speed and convenience outweigh maximising price.
CarDekho / Gaadi.com
CarDekho is a popular listing platform with a large buyer base. Offers both private sale listings and dealer connections. Good for mid-range vehicles where you want broad visibility.
Spinny
Spinny focuses on quality-certified used cars. They buy from sellers at evaluated prices and resell — similar to Cars24 in model. Better suited to well-maintained vehicles in the INR 3–20 lakh range.
car-spot
car-spot offers free listings with direct buyer contact — ideal for sellers who want to reach motivated buyers without paying platform fees or accepting below-market prices from intermediaries.
- Genuinely free: 30-day listing at no cost. Extend for 14 days at ₹129.00 or 30 days at ₹199.00 only if needed.

- Privacy protected: Your phone number and email are never publicly displayed.
Free for 30 days · No card required · 2 minutes to go live
Recommendation
List privately on OLX Autos and car-spot for maximum reach and price, while getting an instant offer from Cars24 or Spinny as a floor price baseline.
