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.

Looking at the province of Antwerp as a whole, 8.2% of passenger cars are electric, against 7.4% in Belgium.
A private buyer can only take over your car after an inspection; sell to a dealer and they usually handle that step. Inspection centres nearby are on Noorderlaan in Antwerp, on Santvoortbeeklaan in Deurne and on Pierre van den Eedenstraat in Hoboken. Keep the low emission zone in mind too: it covers part of the city, and all the rules are at slimnaarantwerpen.be/nl/lez.
