This time, I received only genuine enquiries and then used the site’s payment system, which could not have been easier. A great improvement to the whole selling process. Congratulations, Carsales.com! **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience selling your car using our platform. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! ### 4/5 — Selling Your Car *2026-08-16, version 5.38.0* Car sales is a safe efficient way to sell your car. ### 4/5 — Great experience overall *2026-08-14* I had a great overall experience selling my car through CarSales. The platform was easy to use, and creating, editing and managing my advertisement was very straightforward. The main challenge was the number of low offers and non-serious buyers. I received 20+ enquiries, but only around three buyers were genuinely serious about purchasing the vehicle. There were also quite a few dealers and buyers making offers well below the advertised price, which made the process a little frustrating and meant I had to be patient to find the right buyer. That said, I was eventually able to sell my car at the price I wanted, and the final transaction was extremely easy. The payment process, handover and overall completion of the sale were smooth, secure and straightforward. Overall, I really enjoyed using CarSales and would definitely consider using the platform again. The selling process itself was easy — the biggest challenge was simply filtering through the non-serious enquiries and very low offers. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that you found the platform easy to use and were able to successfully sell your car at your desired price. We understand that sorting through low offers and non-serious enquiries can be frustrating, and we appreciate your honest feedback. It's great to know that the sale, payment, and handover process were smooth and secure. Thanks again for choosing carsales, and we look forward to helping you again in the future. ### 4/5 — Good safe platform *2026-08-13, version 5.38.0* Carsales is a good safe platform for buyers and sellers. The messaging inbox is bit clunky, slow. The AI search is a waste… tried it and found dumb. Great reachability to buyers. Even after multiple interactions with buyer on chat, there was no means for me to know buyer did not have license. ### 5/5 — Mazda sale *2026-08-11, version 5.37.0* Quick turnaround and the most effective outreach. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-11* Good **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! :) ### 5/5 — Mr Demarco *2026-08-10, version 5.37.0* Excellent website for cars ### 4/5 — Helped sell our car quickly *2026-08-10, version 5.37.0* Great app, one star down due to messages not updating in real time. ### 2/5 — Recent Ai update isn’t great *2026-08-09, version 5.37.0* I like the addition of AI into the app, but lots of bugs. Can’t save favourite searches or cars. When you go back into the app, it doesn’t take you back to your last search, goes back to a random and not needed one. ### 5/5 — Brilliant, the app works better than the pc version *2026-08-09, version 5.37.0* This is the best selling cars app in the world ### 5/5 — Sale of vehicle *2026-08-09, version 5.37.0* Excellent selling experience and as always I will recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a vehicle on your site Extremely happy 👌💪 ### 5/5 — Sold my car *2026-08-08, version 5.37.0* Very quick and easy to sell my car. ### 2/5 — Sold but... *2026-08-08, version 5.37.0* Day after day of low ball offers is very annoying, mostly from car dealers. Not sure if I'll use car sales again as I can get the same experience on FB marketplace for free. ### 3/5 — Good but glitchy *2026-08-08, version 5.37.0* Sold my car via Carsales within 2 weeks however the other night I received three messages that didn’t come through till the next day that may have cost me an earlier sale. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ai search sucks *2026-08-15, version 5.38.0* Can you please bring back the category search the ai search sucks so bad. You ask for a Mercedes s class from the early 2000s and it brings up opel, commodore and falcons from 2015….. then it just argues with you that the only v8 is a ford…. Wish there was a viable competitor to Carsales. But we are stuck with this nonsense. ### 1/5 — Car search update is terrible *2026-08-11, version 5.37.0* Revert back to the old way to search cars. This AI stuff is annoying. The old way just simply worked, why change it? ### 1/5 — Frustrating experience *2026-08-11, version 5.37.0* I received scammers, tyre kickers and a lot of car brokers/dealers constantly working me down to trade in prices which wasn’t the reason for me selling on car sales if I wanted that I would have just traded it in at a car dealer and saved myself the listing price of this. Worst experience ever. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Average app *2026-08-10, version 5.37.0* Average app, glitchy messaging and can’t see stats through the app. ### 1/5 — Freezing *2026-08-09, version 5.37.0* Just downloaded it and it froze twice. Uninstalling it… Terrible experience. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-08-08, version 5.37.0* Ad cost now too expensive between $500-700. Sold it via market place. ### 1/5 — Car sales *2026-08-08, version 5.37.0* Ridiculously expensive and not user friendly app ### 1/5 — Not worth *2026-08-06, version 5.36.2* Horrible experience ### 1/5 — Search *2026-08-06, version 5.37.0* Ai No ### 1/5 — Your new app design/layout is rubbish *2026-08-06, version 5.37.0* If the app ain’t broke, don’t fix it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Michelle Browne *2026-08-16, version 5.38.0* Excellent updates on my car stats through out the process. I loved how easy the pat through car sales was, it really eliminated the anxiety of getting scammed. Highly recommend Car Sales. ### 5/5 — Very easy and effective *2026-08-15, version 5.38.0* Showed the car three times and wrapped up easily.
