Selling a car in Ireland doesn’t have to take weeks or cost you money. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or switching to an EV, here’s how to get your car sold quickly — and for the right price.
✅ 1. Get a Free Car Valuation
Start by getting an accurate value for your car.
IrishAutoMarket’s free valuation tool helps you understand your car’s market value and set the right price.
💡 Tip: Browse active cars for sale Ireland listings to compare similar models.
🧽 2. Clean and Prep Your Car for Sale
First impressions sell cars. Clean:
- Exterior (wax if possible)
- Interior (hoover, dashboard, windows)
- Engine bay (wipe, don’t power wash)
🧼 A clean car sells faster — especially if you’re promoting through a local garage or planning to sell through IrishAutoMarket‘s verified seller system.
📸 3. Take High-Quality Photos
Upload 6–10 well-lit photos showing:
- Front, rear, side views
- Interior and boot space
- Dashboard mileage
- NCT disc and logbook
📷 Listings with quality images get significantly more views and faster responses.
📄 4. List Your Car on a Trusted Marketplace
Skip the confusing sites. Use a platform built for Irish car buyers.

💬 5. Write a Clear, Honest Description
Mention:
- Recent service or repairs
- NCT status
- Tyre condition
- Any extras (reverse camera, Android Auto, etc.)
- Known cosmetic damage (if any)
🎯 Honesty builds trust — and faster conversions.
💰 6. Offer Smart Pricing and Easy Viewings
Set a competitive price and mention:
- “Open to reasonable offers”
- “Can meet evenings or weekends”
- “Located in Dublin/Cork/etc.”
💡 Use IrishAutoMarket’s pricing suggestions to avoid overpricing or underselling.
🔁 7. Use Targeted Keywords in Your Listing
Think like a buyer:
- “Low mileage hatchback in Dublin”
- “Automatic 2020 SUV with NCT”
- “Finance option available – ready to drive”
Keywords help your listing show up in searches within IrishAutoMarket.
✍️ 8. Finalise the Sale Properly
Don’t forget the paperwork:
- Form RF105 for change of ownership
- Buyer/seller name, price, date
- Notify insurance
🔍 Use our car owner check free tool to verify buyer details before finalising the deal.
