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.

Selling a car in Alken
Alken sits between two worlds when it comes to vehicle age. The 10,746 vehicles registered at the end of 2025 averaged 12.9 years, 1.2 years above the Belgian average. Compared with Hasselt (10.2), Diepenbeek (12.0) and Sint-Truiden (12.2) that is older; compared with Nieuwerkerken (13.3) and Wellen (14.5), younger. Campervans are a little more popular than average, at 1.8% of all vehicles against 1.4% in Belgium. In the province of Limburg, 29.3% of passenger cars run on diesel, compared with 25.3% nationally.
For a sale to a private buyer, an inspection is required by law; a dealer generally deals with it for you. You will not have to look far: there is an inspection centre in Alken itself, at Pickardstraat 30 on the Industrieterrein Kolmen. Other inspection centres nearby are in Heers and Diest.
Through Carnet you request a free offer for your car. In Alken 4 garages are on Carnet and within about 15 km there are 127, all of which can bid on your car, just like dealers from beyond. Bidders do not see your name or number, and within 24 hours we call you with the best offer. You decide whether to sell. Or sell it yourself: placing a listing on the marketplace is free as well.
