Place a listing →Frequently asked questions
What is my car worth?
It depends on make, model, year, mileage, condition and equipment. Through Carnet you can get real offers from dealers, not an estimate.
Do I have to take my car to a garage?
No. Only when you accept an offer do you arrange where and when the car is inspected and collected.
Do I need a technical inspection to sell?
Selling to a private buyer requires a technical inspection, but no longer in Flanders from 1 January 2027. When you sell to a dealer, the dealer usually takes care of it.
What about my number plate?
It stays yours. After the sale you return it to the DIV or transfer it to your next car.
