Carsales for Positive User Reviews
✓ Love the AppGreat App. Only thing I can think of to make it better, is if I could have just suspend the ad temporarily until purchase was 100% confirmed. There has been soooo much interest in it that even before the deposit taken for my car had cleared in the bank I continued to be inundated with calls that I had to pull the plug for the sake of the buyers. I lined up 3 potential buyers after the current purchaser. Using the car sales service wasn’t about not enough buyers, but rather too many!! 🤣😍😎😜😆🤩.Version: 2.26.0
✓ It used to be betterI have loved the app for years and would have given it five stars if it had left the previous format. I hate how the photo viewing function has changed. I used to be able to just rotate my phone to view the photos in an ad now I have to scroll back up and click on the photo and click to exit as well. I also don’t like the change to the zoom function when you double tap the photo. It used to go to an ideal magnification but now goes that close its over pixelated and annoying, especially using it with one hand. Would like to see more filtering options in your saved cars, eg price, kms, body type, etc... Child restraint points would be another good filter type in features. A few slight annoyances but still the best app out there..Version: 2.36.2
✓ Selling 2nd hand on CarsalesA super easy website to use. It is worth paying the extra money and go with the mid level advert. It lets you select the precise vehicle type that you want to sell and your ad will be automatically loaded with the cars spec, including ancap rating, engine size, interior features and even the proper name of the car colour as per the manufacturer. But please expect quite a few ridiculous offers (like one 5th of the selling price) from individuals who work for dealerships. They are just trying to bait people, they are like vultures but not much can be done to avoid this..Version: 2.47.0
✓ HeartbrokenWe purchased a BMW X5 and didn’t even get it home before transmission failed. The owner was sneaky and used a false address. And wouldn’t let us test drive it more than around the block supposedly cause needed fuel. Not do once we got it on the freeway. They have used putty under cloth to cover up worn leather and my god what a sticky mess. Never buy a car not from a dealer again. Had to get a car trailer to get it home. Now I’m thousands and thousands of dollars out of pocket and still without a vehicle..Version: 4.18.0
✓ Really the the informationJust a great understanding brings to the car market…. Have owned some very nice vehicles in my time and looking to expand before the government makes it like demolition man the movie for all not in the loop…. I guess what I’m saying Ford & Holden have been taken & know the is a change that is going to happen and really make it hard for any person in Australia own anything that is not new or up to new regulations with big taxes for all car owners regardless off what it is …. Let’s hope the public transport industry is up for the up scale for all needing the ride from A-B 🫣. I’m sure the government has the plans 😉😂😂😂.Version: 4.50.0
✓ Blocked?I was scrolling down real fast to get to more expensive cars (was sorting price lowest to highest and was trying to get to cars around 30 grand and didn’t know the price sorting existed) and out of nowhere a message came up saying I was blocked for scrolling to fast and clicking too fast. It also said my ip matched a robots, and I’m pretty sure I’m human so I don’t know what that’s all about. I tried reinstalling the app and trying the website and that didn’t work. Any way I can get unblocked? Besides that, it’s a pretty good app..Version: 4.12.0
✓ The only place to shopI’ve used all other platforms to view cars for sale, this is the one for me. Easy to keep track of your history and alerts when things heap up in regards to cars particularly interest so you don’t miss out. Saying that it’s the one floor, sellers understand ppl are getting updates to what’s going on and list and unlist, or boost the price and lower it so you look at what’s happening. All good if it’s legit but when they play I just turn notifications off. Unfortunately I do miss out on some cars I was interested in..Version: 2.47.0
✓ Not a fan of the new layout!Carsales is the only app to use when looking to buy or sell a car! I use the app 3 to 4 times a week! But the new layout and moving the saved searches away from the normal search is a mistake. Makes the process of searching cumbersome! Also moving the notification to under settings, that is not the right place. If you must, perhaps just add an icon at the bottom? Overall I like the ***sales apps, I use all of them, but just not a fan of the new layout!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ JjsvidchiYeah that’s it a lot of fun I just got a message and it looks two of them so I don’t have any of the stuff I want you know if I youuu you want anything to get it out and then maybe we could go to get the stuff together for the weekend or do you want anything else and I just need a couple more stuff for my princess and I will do it for you and then I’ll be back to work tomorrow and I can do that for tomorrow and I will be home for tomorrow.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Recently ruinedThe best layout and search functions of any car selling app, way better then even the ones in America, I have love using it for years. Lately they have added pop up adds, all the same one for a genesis, not only are they super annoying because they pop up at random times, but they mean the app makes my iPhone 8 lag and freeze, phone recovers once I close the app. So I've had to stop using it, I don't mind adds, it is free after all, but these have made it unusable..Version: 3.10.4
✓ Scrolling issues.Great app, purchased and sold many cars using app on both iPad and iPhone. Also use it to just scroll through to see what’s available every now and then. My only negative about the app on both phone and iPad is that when scrolling through search results when you get to the bottom of the loaded results and it loads the next amount it takes you back up the page so you are rescrolling over adds you have already seen. Only minor, but it gets very annoying..Version: 2.32.1
✓ Plagued by recent bugsThis app was once the best on the market but a recent list of bugs have made this app extremely frustrating to use. The constant pop up of a Genesis video advertisement makes it difficult to look up any car. I have also noticed app alerts on saved searches and cars no longer work. Please address as soon as possible..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Great app and fast sellingOne of the greatest website I ever experienced in ANZ region.. User friendly app and quality buyers. Thanks guys.Version: 2.6.2
✓ Pleasant selling experienceMuch better way of selling your car than Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or putting it on the side of the road. Texts were constant, but not overwhelming. The service provided by Carsales was outstanding. They called me before the ad was verified to double check my details and were able to fix up any mistakes I had made in the listing. Will use this service again in the future. Had no problems with the app at all. Thank you..Version: 2.32.0
✓ Carsales is the number 1 place to sell a quality car in AustraliaI use the carsales app multiple times a day for reviews and car news. I’m a car enthusiast so I’m always scanning my favourites and seeing what’s available in the market. At 34 I have owned over 15 cars now so I guess you could say I turn cars over regularly and carsales is my go to place to sell most (not all) cars I’ve owned. The only con really is that it’s getting a bit pricey these days to place an add via carsales but the service is mostly worth it ;).Version: 3.6.0
✓ Fantastic SiteI have sold all our family cars on car sales for probably a decade now. As always, our last vehicle sold quickly. The first couple that test drove bough it. Payment was easy and they love the car. I always use premium because I know for a fact it works! Also I do my homework first and check all other vehicles if same make, vintage and mileage. I then price my car below all others and it has worked fantastically. It only needs to be $500 below others but I then tell the buyer the piece is fixed. Never been a problem. Try it because it really does work!.Version: 2.36.1
✓ Good AppAs someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars it took me a while to navigate but is so wonderful once you learn and has so many great features and a wide range. Used this app with a gov website to test how safe first cars are and am very happy with the search results. Filter system and search engine feature on the app makes looking for car types quick, easy and efficient. Good overall view of the car without having to contact seller. Would recommend.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Great and easy to use!Carsales is great and easy to use! Not much more can be said. It's nice to just sit or lay down and browser through all the cars on the site. It works great for me with no issues. Fun to to see what kind of cars are available and to see what car would suit as a first car. Have used it to buy my first and second car which I am forever grateful for! Very very good app. I recommend to any who is looking to sell or buy a car. Great for anyone wanting to buy a new or first car..Version: 3.12.0
✓ All good except one small thingIt works seamlessly! Phone calls messages and emails all arrive at all the right places without mucking up! Managed to sell our car to a good family. One small niggle which caused us to loose some $ is how I purchased a car history without placing in my VIN and it charged me but then told me I need to update VIN. When I did, it asked me for MORE money coz it was an amendment. Should have asked me right from the get go with a disclaimer before taking my money the first time!! All in all, positive experience..Version: 2.40.3
✓ Simply awesomeI love the app easy to use..Version: 2.28.2
✓ 2007 tdciHad ours since new, it has been relatively reliable and very economical. Fun to drive courtesy of the little diesel and 6 speed trans, comfy yet firm ride and great brake ability. Interior seemed bland at first, but it's very easy to clean minor spills and hasn't faded or delaminated. It still presents well after ten plus years. Paint has held up well from effects of sun. Torque of the motor is fantastic, stability control and six airbags make for safe driving. Only problems we've had are a piston leak on rear brakes when new (dealer warranty) and minor oil leak from egr system..Version: 2.28.0
✓ CarSales App.I love the app, I have been a member for many many years, I have bought quite a number of cars through the app. I always look even when not ready to buy, it helps me keep up with what's on offer. However the last update does not allow me to Save some cars, it seems really odd. I deleted my saved vehicles search and tried to save but it fails, roughly 10 cars that I can't save. Can you please look at fixing this issue. Thanks Another issue I have is that when you change your email it creates a New Login for you and none of your searches are linked to the new Login. So now you have two logins to deal with. I noticed this in the BikeSales App and I'm thinking it will be the same in the Car App which is why I have updated my Review. Even with these couple of issues, I absolutely love the apps..Version: 2.32.3
✓ Need some improvementsI believe this is the best place to sale your car, however the app needs many improvements. 1. Bring back distance from me feature 2. Enable alert for message received. I was after a good car but neither the app nor site notified me of reply from seller. When checking the profile option, it clearly indicates for new notification but that doesn’t include status about new message received. 3. The written description of car from owner appears at the bottom in the app, it should either come on top or as a tab.Version: 4.7.0
✓ New versionThis update is absolutely horrible. You lose your last search when you look at your messages or view your saved cars. You can no longer scroll up on your search, then scroll right to left on a vehicle picture to view other pictures quickly. It automatically defaults to feature cars on the right every time you reopen the app, and also loses your last search. The usability on this App is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. No thought what so ever for the user..Version: 2.35.0
✓ Mr Gabi YammouniAfter trying to view all the other car apps car sales is by far the best and informative site to the car industry . From sales to reviews car sales has made buying a car so easy . The app itself is straight forward and easy to use. You can find practically any vehicle and view all the details and reviews at a touch of a button. Also there is no need to keep changing pages with its flow on effect searching is far more easier. I wish more was researched on vans and commercial s.Version: 2.23.1
✓ 2008 mit lancerMy car was sold very quickly from here. I was very impressed. App is a little challenging to navigate. I didn’t like that I could only put a certain price on my vehicle eg I couldn’t put over $5000 on the car. I wanted $5000- however people always expect to get less than the asking price - it makes it more challenging to get a fair price for your vehicle. In addition, it can waste a little time when a buyer comes to inspect the car and won’t buy it because the seller won’t budge on the price. Anywho, I sold my car for $4700- so I’m happy. Thank you.Version: 2.29.0
✓ Great but needs updatingWhen using the app, you can’t see how many people have saved your ad. I want to see saves to gauge how many people are watching the ad - is it 1 person or 10 people? I have to login to the actual site but doing that on the phone automatically opens the app. I have to delete the app, then login on Safari to see how many people have saved it, the download the app again. Knowing how many people have saved the ad is crucial in gauging interest and knowing whether you’re overpriced, need more info etc. Please add the “saved” count onto the app!.Version: 2.32.0
✓ IdeaI really enjoy Carsales, though, I have never bought a car from it, but that is beside my idea. You developers could make another app (if such tech exists) that allows you to scan any car, and it will tell you what make, model and series it is. Because I know a fair few people who have no idea what car they parked next to, or what the nice car across the street is. Please consider this, or at least whatever you do with it..Version: 3.13.0
✓ Great and simple APP, but needs one important featureFor those looking to sell their car quick and grab some exposure, then this app is great for you. Really simple to use and navigate around and has a wide variety of features that most others apps like gumtree and Facebook marketplace that don’t offer. One small issue or feature that I would really like to see implemented in a future update is on the manage my ad tab, besides the detailed view stat is a saved car statistic, because I am constantly finding my self to have to jump on safari or any other type of browser to see how many people have saved the ad. also a overhaul of the page would be great, possibly a feature to hide other cars that I have sold and only have it show the current active car that’s on sale and also be able to flick through all the pictures and delete any on the spot that I don’t like. Thank you..Version: 2.32.1
✓ Mostly Great.Carsales I can’t really fault you, however the recent update and shifting of saved searches from the search tab irks and annoys me a lot. This seems counter intuitive to be switching between the Search and Saved tabs when you have small modifications to be made or previously saved searches to use. I understand why it may have been done for the simplicity of more basic users however it is rather annoying when you have 45+ specific saved searches. Also years ago you could specify interior colour. This is my number one frustration sitewide. Looking for light coloured interiors forces me to scroll through pictures of numerous cars I have zero interest in (majority have dark interiors) to check the colour myself. Pretty please return this criteria. I see others have also been asking for this. Otherwise the app is generally great and I do appreciate this CS!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ I love the Carsales app!Think back to the old days when you wanted a 2nd hand car. You either grabbed an Exchange and Mart and spent hours pouring through drab classified ads or you toured car yards in the vain hope someone hadn’t rewound the speedo on the old banger. Well now we’ve got the Carsales app and I’m over the moon. It’s brilliant. Shows me everything I want to know. And that’s EVERYTHING!!!! With more information at the touch of a link. And pictures that are almost like being in it. I love it and ZIve been playing with it for a few weeks now whilst my bank balance increases enough for me to pay cash. No more old bangers. No more crooks to deal with. And I’m actually having fun..Version: 2.37.4
✓ Fast and efficient way of selling your vehicleAwesome results..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Better than gumtree and eBayTo Anyone who complains about the price of Carsales . Put an ad on gumtree or eBay and see the difference. Within 5 minutes of being on gumtree 5 scammers contacted me . Within 2 days of eBay 25 people contacted me offering at least $3000 under sale price without viewing or asking a question about the vehicle. I think if you want genuine buyers it’s worth the cost. I’ll never go back to those other 2 sites again to sell a vehicle. If you don’t believe me try your luck and you will learn. No one is interested in low ball offers and people trying their luck wasting sellers time..Version: 2.41.0
✓ Messaging & notifications could be betterThe app is great for many features but I cannot see how to make notifications make a noise alert & you have to click on notifications and the messages otherwise it looks like you still have an unread message. Also notifications have to be manually deleted after reading them. I just don’t understand the need for notifications and messages, why not just have notifications only when there is a notification about the add that is not a message (like a report on sales similar to your car) and leave messages about the car as messages not notifications. Also when you go in to the messages it shows all messages as once & you have to click the arrow to close all of those messages or delete as you go..Version: 3.11.0
✓ App notifications should put new vehicles at top of listCurrently when a new vehicle is added to the list and I press the notification it just opens the search results list but I have to scroll through and figure out which vehicles I’ve not seen before. The email notification shows an image and link to the new vehicles which is a better user experience..Version: 3.9.0
✓ Great appBought my last car with it.Version: 2.46.0
✓ Enquire for price issues fixed ThankfullyLooks like Carsales have changed from showing the prices of vehicles advertised. Makes doing research on buying a vehicle very difficult and I would be annoyed if selling a vehicle and constantly getting enquiries on price from people who are not ready to purchase or just doing their research. Carsales have fixed the issues and all is back as it should be! Prices are showing up again, Very happy with this app..Version: 4.47.0
✓ Excellent serviceThis has been such an easy way to sell my car, I used the private number option upgrade and it was excellent thank screen calls and messages with. Very happy with all the notifications and the ease of navigation around the app. I will definitely use again with every car I sell from now on and recommend it to anyone thinking of selling or buying a car..Version: 2.23.1
✓ A+++++Awesome app..Version: 2.20.1
✓ PerformanceLove the Carsales app, have sold 4 vehicles on it and purchased my last 3 from it. Am in the market for a sporty SUV and I found with all of the engine sizes, turbo, supercharged, twin turbo, power to weight ratio data it a bit time consuming to find a few options to look at. Simply looking for a V8 or high kw option does not necessarily give you the best options, I thought I had narrowed down my options over the past few weeks but recently stumbled across the BMW X4 Diesel option which ticks a lot of the boxes we are looking for. I thought a handy search criteria would be 0-100 times so you can simply select an upper time to highlight some of the sportier models. Most of the vehicles have this data in the add anyway so it’s already there so shouldn’t be too difficult to add. Fuel usage may be another option some (not me) would consider something to narrow down their selection by, again the X4 in the Diesel option is also quite frugal while still offering Low 5 second 0-100 times so may not be on everyone’s radar when it comes to vehicle choice..Version: 2.32.2
✓ So simple, so easyIt was straight forward, simple, easy and a smooth transaction. I posted the advertisement, 30 minutes later had a text from an interested buyer. We met the next day. Then she came back that afternoon and we settled on a price and exchanged cash for the car. Thank you for making it available to me. A dealer had told me I would only get peanuts for my car and I knew my well looked after car was worth a lot more..Version: 2.42.1
✓ Very good appEasy to use.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Great AppGreat App, easy to use.Version: 2.4.1
✓ ConvenienceCarsales is the most convenient buy and sell car app that I know. Whenever you need to buy or sell a car, it a few simple clicks or taps and your where you want to be. Plus, it is the most used car buying and selling app. And that means, more cars. You can search up any make or model of car, and there it is. I have used it every time I’ve looked for a car and I don’t plan on switching apps. Rate - 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽/👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.Version: 2.42.1
✓ Great app, would like group by optionThis app is great when looking for cars but it would be useful if you could group cars for sale that are the same make/model so you’re not forever scrolling through cars that are the same make/model. To compliment the addition of a group by option, when enabling this option, it should display the price range for the vehicles in the group. Also, this app will exhaust available memory before crashing after scrolling through many pages of cars, presumably because it doesn’t release the memory used to load previous pages, so it would be good if that could be fixed..Version: 2.32.1
✓ Great end to end processIt is a super helpful app/process in the way it helps you list all the features and info for your model. Great to compare and set a fair price and very useful for managing communication for viewings etc. I loved how it shows viewing stats so you can see the level of interest prior to negotiations. I was honestly very surprised by how achievable this made selling a car given I am so busy with life at the moment. Great work Carsales.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Great sales resourceI got great enquiry from my advert and sold my car in under a week The advert backend data is very helpful and the whole exercise was professional and very cost effective.Version: 2.40.0
✓ Not a fan of the update!I don't like the new format whereby in portrait mode the photos are now across the top of the ad. Previously, having them down the side allowed the reader to view the pictures while reading the description (particularly useful when verifying visual details vs the description). Search or filtering also has become significantly slower with the update, sometimes causing the app to show the 3x 'thinking' dots for 5-10 seconds. As an improvement opportunity, please, please, please enable users to sort their 'saved searches' (eg prioritise the list, top to bottom) . Even better would be if users could have saved search 'folders' (eg Sports, wagons, sedans etc). Nice to have, would be the ability to search by Series (eg e30, e36, e46) without first having to select the Model (eg 3 series). Otherwise, a great app! Keep up the good work..Version: 2.35.0
✓ Great appGreat app easy to use..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Too many SUV and pickup truck articlesBetween articles on SUV, pickup trucks, and luxury high performance cars there are hardly any articles on interesting and affordable cars. Maybe this reflects the motoring industry itself, but it’s pretty grim to people who love accessible car design. For me, Carsales Reviews has gone from a ‘not to be missed daily read’ to an occasional scan with hardly any stories appealing enough to open. I think you should look outside the box to create stories that also include people like me (as opposed people that see cars as nothing more than a means of transport or status). Maybe stories about past innovations or people behind the brands that once evoked passion. As otherwise on your current trajectory is I can imagine deleting your app which is probably not your intent..Version: 3.9.0
