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.

Tractors are a rare sight on the register in Boom: at the end of 2025 just 19 agricultural vehicles were listed, 0.2% of the fleet, against 2.6% in Belgium. Motorcycles are another story: 1,390 of them, or 12.8% of the 10,883 vehicles. The average vehicle is 10.8 years old, 0.9 years younger than the Belgian average. That is older than in Willebroek (10.6) and Niel (9.3), but younger than in Rumst (11.9) and Puurs-Sint-Amands (11.3). The fleet has grown by 18.5% since 2015. In the province of Antwerp as a whole, 53.8% of passenger cars run on petrol, more than the 51.7% across Belgium.
An inspection is compulsory when you sell to a private buyer; a dealer usually arranges it. Inspection centres nearby are in Willebroek, on Hoeikensstraat, and in Kontich.
On Carnet you request a free offer without dealers seeing your name or number. From Boom itself 3 garages are on Carnet and within about 15 km there are 199: they can bid on your car, and dealers from beyond can too. Within 24 hours we call you with the best offer, and the final decision is yours. Finding a buyer yourself is fine as well: a listing on the marketplace costs you nothing.
