Buying from verified sellers

Start by selecting the “Private Owners” filter to view listings shared directly by car owners. Browse through verified options, review the specs, and pick the one that suits your needs.

2. View inspection report (optional)

Before making an offer, you’ll get the option to purchase a 300+ point inspection report (available for just ₹382 + GST). This report, available on the car description page (along with other details and specifications), becomes instantly available for download once purchased and provides a detailed breakdown of the car’s condition to help you make an informed choice.

3. Make your offer

Once you’ve reviewed the car and the seller’s price, you can click "Make Offer". You will be required to input a value and  bid your desired price to move ahead with the offer. Then, you’ll need to select a test drive slot at your convenience. Once selected, your offer price & chosen test drive slot will be sent to the seller.

Note: If you’re using the Cars24 website, a QR code will pop up once you click on "Make Offer". Scan it to download the app and move forward.

4. Wait for seller’s response

Once your offer is sent, the seller can accept, reject, or counter it.

• If accepted, the chat will open so you can coordinate with the seller to confirm the test drive and finalise the purchase
• If countered, you can revise your offer and send it to the seller
• If rejected, you’re free to send a revised offer to the seller, or close the chat in case you don’t wish to continue

5. Finalise the purchase

Once you’re satisfied with the test drive, you can go ahead and complete the purchase. Pick from available financing options, including up to zero down payment for eligible buyers (if needed), and proceed with the payment. For extra peace of mind, you can use Cars24’s Safe Payment Service—it securely holds your payment until both you and the seller confirm that the car has been handed over. This service is only available when payment is made via the Cars24 platform and involves a nominal fee.
