We received zero worthwhile enquiries from the Carsales.com.au listing despite realistic pricing. Much more response from utilising free sites like Gumtree and Facebook using the same price, photos and description. All forms of the listing were paused or deleted the same amount of times when we were not going to be around for a period of time. When you consider it costs a not insignificant amount just for a basic listing on Carsales.com.au it's hard to imagine we would use it again when there are free alternatives that give better outcomes.

I do not understand what is so hard about listing the suburb, it is waste of everybodys time if you cannot list the suburb. Had a look at a car at a dealer the other day and the price listed on car sales was different to what was presented at the dealership. Very disappointed in using car sales.

Sent some enquiries to dealers selling the type of car I wanted as I wanted to trade in my current one.
Was shocked to learn that each dealer I contacted was charged $45 for my enquiry.
Because CarSales doesnt list the exact suburb where the car is or tell you who the dealer is some of my enquiries were a waste of my time and their money.
CarSales enquiries to private sellers are free plus the private ads list the sellers name and location.
Im not a fan of car dealers but this sounds like a rip off to me.
I did end up with a car from a dealer - that I found on Gumtree...

Firstly I put my photos up & Carsales put blurring over the whole front of my car (not just the plate) then they did nothing to help me sell it. They add great price tags on other cars in the same category as mine, that are more expensive than mine, with more kms than mine yet I dont get a tag on my add which is actually the best value in its category & $1000-$4000 cheaper than the competition. I cant see the value for my $68 I spent on this add.

I received no real enquiries other than online scammers and predatory auction yards despite sensible and realistic pricing. My previous experience selling on this platform several years ago was good. However, my thoughts now are that they may have lost their market share of the buyers to other free online selling platforms such as gumtree. I complained to their customer service and was told that I needed to spend additional funds to upgrade my listing as this was my only avenue to rectify the poor response to my ad. That is not helpful.

Great result with the ute selling the next day after advertising.
Its been a few years since I last sold a car on Carsales and the site has definitely improved with various options on presentations and layout.
Cheers

Listed my car on carsales.com.au, carsguide.com.au & Autotrader and Gumtree, but got all replies through carsales.com.au and none though the others. Used their messaging service exclusively and sold my car sucessfully after inspection . Was contacted by several dealer companies but they were only offering peanuts.

My first use of Car sales, and it was successful. Also, the experience was great, I will be happy to use in the future. I will recommend to all my friends.

At the start I had no real view as to what the vehicle should be priced at. My initial price was too high, and Carsales feedback resulted in an immediate price adjustment.. With very few early responses I progressively revised the price until I got a lot of interest. Then success. Thank you.

Carsales.com.au is a terrific site for selling motor vehicles. This is the second vehicle I have sold on here in the last 12 months and the customer service from the carsales team is fantastic.
I would highly recommend to my family and friends to sell their cars on this site.

We sold our Suzuki Alto via carssales.com,au It's an awesome platform for genuine car owners to sell or buy their cars. The service fee is completely justified. It is exiciting to experience and be in times such digital boom!!!

Carsales are a great service for us to sell things. They send out update which is important and the add can stay for years if it hadn't sold which is great. Keep on keeping on Carsales.Thank you

Easy to place the add. Within 10 mins I had my first call and he was the eventual buyer. Over the day I had 12 genuine buyers. Very pleased with the result. Sold the car hours after I placed the add.

Car Sales was a great venue on which to advertise my car. It was also very cost effective.
It was very effective at advertising the car and very easy to use.
I will use Car Sales again.

I wanted to go to Overseas and did not want to pay the Rego which was due next month. Carsales sent me a lot of customers and finally my car was sold.

I put my car up for sale. this is a Great site, very user friendly. I Got great responses. sold my car in 2 days!!
I would most definitely recommend Carsales!

We purchased our replacement car through Carsales.com.au so decided use them to sell the old one. The car sold incredibly quickly and we had quite a few genuine enquiries. The website is very professional and easy to use, both transactions were incredibly smooth with no problems. I highly recommend this site.
