Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about buying and selling cars on Car Market 24.
Buying a Car
How do I search for cars on Car Market 24?
Use our search filters to find cars by make, model, price range, year, body type, transmission, fuel type, and location. You can also browse all listings and sort by newest, price, or other criteria.
How do I contact a seller?
Click on any listing to view the details, then use the "Call Seller" or "Email Seller" buttons to get in touch directly. We recommend starting with specific questions about the car.
Should I get a pre-purchase inspection?
Absolutely! We strongly recommend getting an independent mechanical inspection before purchasing any used car. This can identify potential issues and give you peace of mind.
How do I check if a car has outstanding finance?
You can perform a PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register) check to see if there's any money owing on the vehicle. This costs around $2-4 and is essential before buying.
What payment methods are safe?
We recommend bank transfer or bank cheque for payment. Never pay large amounts in cash, and always complete payment in a secure location like a bank. Avoid any seller asking for deposits before you've seen the car.
Selling a Car
How do I create a listing?
Click "Sell Your Car" and sign in or create an account. Fill in your car details including make, model, year, odometer, and add photos. Write a detailed description and set your price.
How much does it cost to list my car?
Please check our current pricing when creating a listing. We offer various options to suit your needs.
How many photos should I include?
You can upload up to 8 photos per listing. We recommend showing the exterior from all angles, interior, dashboard, engine bay, tyres, and any features or imperfections. Good photos sell cars faster.

Account & Listings
Do I need an account to browse cars?
No, you can browse all listings without an account. However, you'll need to sign up to contact sellers or create your own listings.
How do I edit or delete my listing?
Sign in to your account, go to your dashboard, and you'll see all your active listings. Click on a listing to edit its details or mark it as sold/delete it.
How long does my listing stay active?
Listings remain active for 60 days by default. You can renew or extend your listing from your dashboard if it hasn't sold.
Can I report a suspicious listing?
Yes! If you see a listing that appears fraudulent or suspicious, please report it using the "Report" button on the listing page or contact us directly.
Safety & Security
How can I stay safe when meeting buyers/sellers?
Always meet in public places during daylight hours. Bring someone with you if possible. For test drives, verify the person's license and accompany them. Trust your instincts—if something feels wrong, walk away.

We take privacy seriously. Your contact details are only shared with users you choose to communicate with. Read our Privacy Policy for full details on how we handle your data.
