General
Yes. Searching cars, contacting sellers and posting ads as a private seller are free. Optional paid boosts (Featured, Top, Urgent) and dealer packages help you sell faster — see the Pricing page.
No account is needed to view a seller's phone number or open WhatsApp. You need a free account to send messages through the site, save cars and create search alerts.
When you register we send a one-time code (OTP) to your mobile number by SMS or WhatsApp and to your email. Enter the code once and your account is verified. Verified accounts can post ads and receive leads.
These cars are being sold by our own team on behalf of the owner. We have inspected and photographed the car, and you deal directly with Car.net.pk staff for viewings and negotiation.
A Car.net.pk mechanic has checked the car on 200+ points and given it a score. The report is available to buyers on the ad, so you know the condition before you visit.
Yes — use the language switch in the header. Every page is available in English and Urdu, and you can write your ad in either language or Roman Urdu.
Every ad has a Report button. Choose the reason (fraud, wrong information, already sold, duplicate) and our moderation team reviews it within hours.
Selling a car
Private sellers get free ads (currently up to 5 live ads at a time). You only pay if you choose an optional boost to sell faster. Dealers get a free quota too and can buy packages for larger inventories.
Ads run for 60 days. You will receive a reminder before expiry and can renew with one click from My Ads. Sold cars should be marked sold so buyers stop calling.
New ads are checked by our team to keep fake, duplicate and mispriced listings off the site. Most ads go live within a few hours; trusted sellers and verified dealers are approved automatically.
Up to 20 photos per ad. Use landscape orientation and include the exterior from all sides, the interior, engine bay, odometer and tyres. Photos are resized and watermarked automatically.
Yes. Turn off "show phone" when posting and buyers will contact you through site messages only. You can also block specific numbers from your account page.
Featured highlights your card and shows it in the featured strip. Top keeps your ad above all normal ads in search results. Urgent adds a red tag that tells buyers you want a quick sale. They can be combined.
Our managed selling service. We inspect and photograph your car, list it under our own name, handle every call and viewing, and negotiate on your behalf. You approve the final price and we complete the paperwork with the buyer.
Open My Ads from your account, choose the ad and click Edit. You can change price, photos and description at any time. Use "Mark as sold" when the car is sold, or Delete to remove it completely.
Buying a car
Use the Call, WhatsApp or Message buttons on the ad. Calls and WhatsApp connect you directly with the seller; messages are delivered through Car.net.pk and the seller is notified by email and WhatsApp.
No. Never pay any amount before you have seen the car, checked the documents and met the seller in person. Ads asking for advance payment should be reported.
The original registration book or smart card, the seller's CNIC (name must match), the latest token tax receipt, and the chassis and engine numbers on the car. Verify the vehicle online with the provincial Excise department. Read our Safety Tips for the full list.
An estimate based on recent asking prices for the same make, model, year and city on Car.net.pk. It helps both buyers and sellers negotiate with real market data. It is a guide, not a valuation.
Yes. Run a search with your filters and click "Save search". You will receive email or WhatsApp alerts (instant, daily or weekly) whenever a matching car is posted.
Car inspection
A trained mechanic checks the car at your location: body and paint (including paint-depth measurement for accident repair), engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tyres, electricals, AC, interior, test drive and a document check. You receive a scored PDF report with photos.
Packages start from a small flat fee depending on the city and vehicle type. Book online from the Car Inspection page, choose a date and time, and pay on the spot or online.
Yes, and we recommend it. An inspected ad shows the score badge and the report to buyers, which builds trust and shortens negotiation.
Car insurance
Comprehensive (covers accident damage, theft and third-party liability) and third-party only. Submit your car details on the Car Insurance page and our partner insurers send quotes within one working day.
No. We collect your request and pass it to licensed insurance partners who quote and issue the policy. There is no fee for getting quotes.
Car finance
Yes — several banks and leasing companies finance used cars up to a certain age (usually under 8–10 years) with a down payment of 20–30%. Use the calculator on the Car Finance page and submit a request to receive offers.
Typically CNIC, proof of income (salary slips or bank statements), proof of address and, for business owners, NTN and business documents. The partner bank will confirm the exact list.
Dealers
Create a dealer account, complete your showroom profile and upload your CNIC and a business document (shop registration, NTN or utility bill in the business name). Our team reviews it within one working day.
Yes. Add staff accounts from the dealer dashboard with permissions for posting, editing and viewing leads. Every action is logged under the staff member's name.
Yes. Download the Excel template from the dealer dashboard, fill in your inventory and upload it with a ZIP of photos. Ads are created in the background and you get a report of any rows that failed.
