CARS24 is on a mission to streamline the unorganised car selling market in India. We at CARS24 help you:
Selling your car is easy with CARS24.
We at CARS24 believe in changing the way people sell their cars in India by simplifying and standardizing the entire process. We buy your car and sell it to one of our 10,000+ channel partners across various cities in India. We charge a nominal fee on every transaction when you sell your car to us. The service charge details can be seen in the Transaction Guidelines section
The website quote is an estimated value range generated by our pricing algorithm based on some broad parameters like car make and model, variant, odometer reading and other details that you enter on the website. The final price quote offered also takes into consideration the physical condition of your vehicle as evaluated during the inspection process and market conditions.
If the car you want to sell is financed, simply bring along a current dated foreclosure letter issued by the bank and we will pay the loan on your car. The settlement amount will be deducted from the CARS24 quote for your car. Alternatively, you can settle the loan yourself before selling the car to us. CARS24 may hold back a certain amount until the bank loan clearance NOC is submitted by you.
It’s simple! Log on to our website www.cars24.com, fill in the basic details about your car as mentioned above and schedule an appointment at your nearest CARS24 branch. OR, you can simply call our customer helpline number at 1800-258-5656 and we will schedule an appointment for you.

Having dedicated slots booked in advance helps us achieve the same and allows us to serve our customers in the best way possible.

However, there might be instances, pertaining to different car conditions, when the car inspection process may even extend to 90 minutes.
Our used car inspection process is fair and thorough to ensure an objective standardized report that gives a clear view of the condition of your car. We start with a document check and test drive and then use the latest tools to assess the exterior, tires, engine, transmission, interiors and electricals. We also inspect the steering mechanism, suspension, brakes and accessories of your car during the test drive. Feel free to ask any questions from our team at the branch.
The online valuation indicates the estimated range you can get for your car considering it is in a picture-perfect condition.

But if it’s not a scrap car, we request you to please get the car in a moving condition before the evaluator reaches your location.

The held back amount for this case is variable and depends on the attributes of the car. For Example - In case you are selling a premium top model C-segment sedan, the amount held back is Rs.50000. In case any tampering or damage is discovered, the deal will be cancelled. If no such tampering or damage is found, the amount will be transferred to your account.
