Services

Instant Online valuation and Vehicle Purchase Services

Any valuation generated by the Valuation Tool (an "Online Valuation" ) is based on the information You give to CARS24 about Your vehicle (the "Vehicle" ) and on the following general assumptions CARS24 makes about Your Vehicle (the "Assumptions" )

An instant Online Valuation is not an offer by CARS24 to purchase the vehicle. It is simply a tool to enable You to estimate the prima facie value of Your vehicle based on the inputs provided by You. The actual sale price of the vehicle can only be evaluated and offered after a physical inspection of the Vehicle by authorized evaluators of CARS24. CARS24 always carries out a physical inspection of the vehicle before it conveys the intent to proceed with further transaction for arriving at a final sale price. After You have received an instant Online Valuation, You may book an appointment for an inspection at one of CARS24’s branches by calling a consultant of CARS24 (an ‘Appointment’). Physical Inspection of the Vehicle may involve a thorough inspection of the Vehicle including all working components and features and which shall be the critical factors to arrive at a sale price of the vehicle, which may be offered by CARS24 accordingly. You shall also be required to provide further details including the details of the Vehicle, which shall be done at the time of Appointment and before the carrying out of the physical inspection of the Vehicle.

Values and pricing are the opinions of CARS24, and the actual price of a vehicle may vary depending on the vehicle’s actual condition and local market factors. The range of values is CARS24’s estimate of what a consumer can reasonably expect to receive this week based on the style, mileage and registration city of the vehicle when they sell it to a dealer. However, every dealer is different and values are not guaranteed. This value will likely be less than the value assessed by another consumer because the reselling dealer incurs the cost of safety inspections, reconditioning, documentation and other costs of doing business. CARS24 assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions.

Ancillary Services

CARS24 provides a platform wherein it lists cars of prospective sellers and helps prospective buyers by arranging a meeting between the buyer and the seller and assists in finalizing the transaction. The aforesaid services may further include value-added services like transfer of ownership of the vehicle ( “RC Transfer” ), motor insurance, consumer finance facility, and warranty.

Seller Agreement

CARS24 gives the seller an offer to buy the car after carrying out an on-site inspection at one of its authorized centers. We also provide home inspection services at certain locations.

Any offer by CARS24 to purchase the car shall only be effective if and when the seller signs the CARS24's Seller Agreement after inspection. The Seller Agreement will be subject to such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the CARS24 and the Seller.

After execution of the Seller Agreement, the seller shall hand over the car, car keys, registration documents, service history, user manuals, accessories and/or such other items as may be agreed between the CARS24 and the seller.
