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 Brakel
In Brakel a car is allowed to show its age: with an average of 13.4 years, the municipality has the seventh oldest vehicle fleet in the province of East Flanders. That is 1.7 years above the Belgian average. At the end of 2025 there were 12,545 registered vehicles, including 6.5% agricultural vehicles (Belgium: 2.6%) and 12.3% light trucks (Belgium: 10.4%). Older fleets are still found nearby: Lierde (13.8), Maarkedal (14.5) and Elzele (16.2) are higher, Zottegem (12.5) and Geraardsbergen (12.1) lower. Across East Flanders, 22.1% of passenger cars run on diesel, against 25.3% in Belgium.
Anyone selling to a private buyer needs an inspection first; with a dealer, that is usually the dealer's job. Conveniently, Brakel has its own inspection centre (Industrielaan 8). Other inspection centres nearby are in Nazareth and Ghislenghien.
Requesting an offer through Carnet costs nothing, anywhere in the municipality: Elst, Everbeek, Michelbeke, Nederbrakel, Opbrakel, Parike, Sint-Maria-Oudenhove and Zegelsem. Within about 15 km, 59 garages and car dealers on Carnet can bid, and dealers from beyond can as well. Whoever bids does not know your name or number; within 24 hours we call you with the best offer, and you decide. Finding a buyer yourself is possible too, with a free listing on the marketplace.
