Vodič za sigurnu kupovinu
Posljednja izmjena: 8. septembar 2026.
Most people selling a car here are exactly who they say they are. The advice below is not about them. It is about the small number who are not, and about being clear on what this site checks so you know what is left for you to check.
What we check, and what we do not
| We do | We do not |
|---|---|
| Check every advert against a list of signals before it goes live — a VIN or a photograph already used on somebody else's advert, a price far below the market, a model we do not recognise, an unconfirmed email address, an odometer that has gone down since publication. Anything that trips one goes to a person, and several of them go to a person however good the seller's record is. | Inspect the car. Nobody from this site has seen it. |
| Require every seller to confirm a phone number, by sending a code to it, before their first advert can be published. | Confirm that the person holding that phone owns the car. |
| Compare the asking price against what similar cars are listed at on this site, where there are enough comparable cars for the comparison to mean anything, and mark it. | Guarantee the mileage, the service history or the accident record — those are what the seller told us. Tell you what cars actually sell for: completed sale prices are not published in this market and we do not hold them, so the badge is built from asking prices. |
| Remove an advert and stop an account when we find fraud. | Hold your money, escrow a payment or insure a sale. There is no payment on this site at all. |
The single most useful sentence on this page: **we never handle money and we never arrange delivery.** Anyone who tells you that a payment is protected by this site, held by this site, or refunded by this site is lying to you, whatever the message looks like.
The things that should stop you
- The seller will not meet in person, or will not let you see the car before paying.
- The car is well below what the price badge says similar cars go for, and there is a story attached — a divorce, an urgent move, a soldier abroad.
- You are asked to pay a deposit to “reserve” the car before seeing it.
- You are asked to pay by bank transfer to a personal account in another country, by cryptocurrency, by gift card, or through a courier or shipping company the seller nominates.
- The conversation moves off this site immediately, before any detail about the car has been discussed.
- The seller's name does not match the name on the registration document, and there is no written authorisation.
Any one of those is a reason to walk away. Two of them together is not a coincidence.
Before you go
- Ask for the VIN and check it against the registration document when you arrive. A seller who will not give it before you travel is telling you something.
- Arrange to meet in daylight, at a public place, and take somebody with you.
- Tell somebody where you are going and when you expect to be back.
When you are there
- Check that the VIN on the car matches the VIN on the documents and the one you were given.
- Check the name on the registration document against the identity document of the person selling.
- Look for a service book, and for invoices. A full history that exists only as a claim in the advert is a claim.
- Take it to a mechanic before you buy, or bring one. An inspection costs a small fraction of what a hidden fault does.
Paying
- Pay when you collect the car and its documents, and not before.
- Get a signed sale contract with both names, both identity numbers, the VIN, the price and the date.
- Do not send a deposit to hold a car you have not seen.
If something goes wrong
Report the advert, and write to us. We can remove an advert and stop an account within the day, and we keep the record. What we cannot do is recover your money — that is the police, and it is worth going to them early rather than after a week of messages.
