Frequently Asked Questions

Our customer’s most frequently asked questions about car valuations, inspections and selling your car to CarZar.

General Inquiries

How does CarZar calculate the value of my car at my inspection?

We don’t! At your inspection, a third-party inspector from DEKRA or KwikFit will describe the condition of your car. CarZar will then make a final cash offer, based on the outcome of your evaluation. Alternatively, if you book an inspection at your preferred location, one of CarZar’s professional inspectors will evaluate the condition of your car and calculate all recondition costs. After your obligation-free inspection, you can decide between:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer, at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More for your Car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. This means you’ll get the opportunity to receive the best price the market is willing to pay for your car nationwide.

*Please note: Off-site inspections are not available in all locations.

What are the benefits of selling my car to CarZar?

If only everything in life was as simple as choosing CarZar! Traditionally, if you were selling your car, you’d have to post an ad (in print or online) and wait for potential buyers to contact you. You’d have to set up meetings, test drives and inspections, not to mention worrying about the safety risks of meeting complete strangers on short notice. Your other option is to sell your car or trade in your car to a dealer, which means having to negotiate car trade-in values and being offered ‘discounts’, which don’t actually give you much.

CarZar removes this uncertainty and replaces it with an exclusive way to get the best offer for your car. We’ve partnered with DEKRA and Kwikfit to offer our customers a convenient, safe and transparent inspection from certified and nationally reputable vehicle inspectors. Alternatively, you can book an inspection at your preferred location. However, *please note that off-site inspections are not available in all locations. After your obligation-free inspection, you can decide between:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More for your Car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. This means you get the opportunity to receive the best price the market is willing to pay for your car nationwide.

I no longer want to receive emails from CarZar?

We’ll be sad to see you go, but we understand.

If you don’t want to receive any more emails from us, all you have to do is click on the Unsubscribe link in our emails footer, and we’ll take you off our mailing list.

If you’re still receiving emails after unsubscribing, send an email to info@carzar.co.za and we’ll get you sorted!

Why do you need my personal details?

Don’t worry! We would only require your name and email address, to send your free online quote directly to your mailbox. You can then click on the booking button to make an inspection appointment and receive reassurance, through a confirmation email.

In addition, by booking your inspection with one of our partners DEKRA or Kwikfit, your contact, vehicle and inspection details will be shared with them to ensure your inspection date and time is all in order when you arrive.

How does CarZar calculate the estimated online value of my car?

CarZar uses a unique algorithm to calculate a fair estimated offer for your car. Our algorithm takes into account various factors, which include the year, make, model, transmission, fuel-type, variant and mileage.

In addition, we also refer to your car’s current trends within the market and historical data from previous transactions. In turn, these provide an obligation-free and transparent estimated offer.

What are your opening hours?

We are open every Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. However, appointments can be booked from 8 am.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions! Send an email to info@carzar.co.za and we’ll get you sorted. Alternatively, you can click on the Live Chat icon on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen and leave us a message!

Selling To CarZar

I have an outstanding finance against my vehicle. Would CarZar still buy it?

Generally, second-hand car sellers only sell their car if it has already been paid off. In this case, they’ll most likely have the vehicle’s original NaTIS (National Traffic Information System) documents available. However, if your vehicle is still being paid off or ‘financed’, acquiring the NaTIS will be slightly more tricky.

If the car seller’s used vehicle is still being financed – not paid-off yet – the customer will have to provide the car buyer with a copy of the NaTIS, as well as a settlement letter from the bank.

At CarZar, we settle the full outstanding amount with the bank, in order receive the car seller’s original documents. For example,

If the bank settlement is R100 and CarZar offers the customer R80 then:

The Customer pays CarZar R20
CarZar pays the bank the full R80

If the bank settlement is R80 and CarZar offers the customer R100 then:

CarZar pays the customer R20
CarZar pays the bank R80

Finance & Payment

Will you make the payment to my bank account even if I am not the car’s legal owner?

You may act as an agent on behalf of the car’s owner during the selling process, but we can only perform the payment in a different bank account, if the car’s legal owner specifies this in the purchase agreement, i.e. that payment should be made into a different bank account.

Will you charge me any service fees for buying my car?

CarZar’s car buying services are 100% obligation-free every step of the way, so you don’t lose out on anything! Our obligation-free services include:

Free estimated valuation online.
Unbiased, independent vehicle inspection.
Off-site inspections – your preferred location.
Calculation of your vehicle’s reconditioning costs.
Option 1: Instant Cash – CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.
Option 2: More for your Car – looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. Here you’re guaranteed the best price the market is willing to pay for your car!
Guaranteed cash offer at the end of your inspection.
Free vehicle ownership transfer.

What happens to my car’s ownership status once you buy it?

Your vehicle’s change of ownership will be legally transferred within 2 working days from the date of the vehicle purchase.

Apart from the vehicle’s NaTIS, we’ll require you to hand over all your vehicle’s registration documents. Avoid the hassle of complicated car sale processes by making sure you, as the second-hand car seller, provide the following documents:

Original NaTIS of the vehicle
Settlement letter (if financed)
A copy of your ID or Passport
Proof of address
Proof of bank details
Full proof of Service History

If your vehicle’s ‘change of ownership’ was transferred onto your name within the last 3-months, you will be required to provide CarZar with supporting documents as proof of purchase. For example:

If purchased from a dealership, the car seller has to provide the invoice of the car purchase.
If purchased privately, the car seller has to provide the previous NaTIS of the car.

How will you make the payment for my car?

With CarZar, all the hassle and safety risks of selling a used car privately are removed. You hold onto your car keys and car until you have received full payment and the money is reflected in your account.

After your obligation-free inspection, you can decide between:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More for your Car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. Here you’re guaranteed the best price the market is willing to pay for your car!

But, whichever path you take, as soon as you accept the instant cash offer made in Option 1 or the highest cash offer made in Option 2, we’ll make an immediate payment straight into your bank account! No haggle, no hassle.

Here’s how a motor vehicle payment at CarZar works:

The first thing you need to know is that CarZar banks with FNB (First National Bank) – if CarZar pays to an FNB account, the motor vehicle payment will reflect immediately in the seller’s bank account. However, less commonly, payment can take up to an hour.
If CarZar pays to a bank account other than FNB, payment into the seller’s account can take between 2-hours and 2 working days.
All CarZar customers will receive proof of payment from CarZar, as well as a notification from FNB.

How do you guarantee that I will get your payment?

Just as any other formal vehicle sales processes, CarZar guarantees the payment of your vehicle through a legal document, known as a ‘vehicle sales contract’.

A Vehicle Sales Contract is a binding agreement stating that the Seller sells and transfers to the Purchaser the particular make, model, year and registration number of a particular motor vehicle.

By signing the Vehicle Sales Contract, the used car buyer agrees to the terms and conditions of the motor vehicle sale – which generally include:

The Seller warrants that the Seller has the full right and authority to sell and transfer the vehicle and hereby indemnifies the Purchaser against ejectment;
The Seller warrants that the vehicle is sold free of liens and encumbrances;
The vehicle is sold as is, voetstoots;
The Seller shall sign such forms and deliver to the Purchaser such documents as may be necessary to enable the Purchaser to register the vehicle in his name;
The price payable by the Purchaser to the Seller for the Vehicle

Once the documentation is signed-off, we’ll make an immediate payment straight into your bank account. All CarZar customers will receive proof of payment from CarZar, as well as an SMS notification from FNB.

When will payment be processed?

If you accept CarZar’s instant cash offer made in Option 1 or the highest offer made in Option 2, we’ll make an instant payment straight into your bank account. If you decide to choose Option 2, we’ll arrange to meet you to collect your vehicle, sign the required paperwork and make an immediate payment.

Options you’ll have after your inspection:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More for your Car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. Here you’re guaranteed the best price the market is willing to pay for your car!

The first thing you need to know is that CarZar banks with FNB (First National Bank) – if CarZar pays to an FNB account, the motor vehicle payment will reflect immediately in the seller’s bank account. However, less commonly, payment can take up to an hour.
If CarZar pays to a bank account other than FNB, payment and reflection into the seller’s account can take between 2-hours and 2 working days.
All CarZar customers will receive proof of payment from CarZar, as well as a notification from FNB.

I have an outstanding finance against my vehicle. Would you still buy it?

Generally, second hand car sellers only sell their car if it has already been paid off. In this case, they’ll most likely have the vehicle’s original NaTIS (National Traffic Information System) documents available. However, if your vehicle is still being paid off or ‘financed’, acquiring the NaTIS will be slightly more tricky.

If your vehicle is still being financed – not paid-off yet – you’ll be required to provide us with a copy of the NaTIS, as well as a settlement letter from the bank.

Why can’t I get the money before the car has been booked for an inspection?

When getting a free online estimate of your car’s current market value, our unique algorithm uses national data to provide fair, stats-based pricing based on market trends and historical data from previous transactions. The industry, therefore, uses trade book value, which is a rough guide used to help determine the trade price of that specific car – only as a starting point – and not as a definitive reference.

Did you know? Not having Spare Keys can reduce your car’s market value by up to 5%, while not having a full Service History can reduce your car’s market value by up to 10%. To get the highest possible value at your inspection with CarZar, ensure that you have spare keys, proof of Service History, clean car, damages repaired, warranty, no tyre wear-and-tears, no windscreen chips or cracks, and no active dashboard warning lights.

We strive to get customers the highest possible price for their car. With DEKRA and KwikFit as our partner inspection services, you can receive an independent, transparent and unbiased evaluation for your car; and reliable cash offer. You can also book an inspection at your preferred location. After your obligation-free inspection, you can decide between:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More for your Car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. Here you’re guaranteed the best price the market is willing to pay for your car!

*Please note that off-site inspections in are not available in all locations.

What if my outstanding loan amount is less than the offer from CarZar?

At CarZar, we settle the full outstanding amount with the bank, in order to receive the car seller’s original documents. For example,

If the bank settlement is R100 and CarZar offers the customer R80 then:

The Customer pays CarZar R20
CarZar pays the bank the full R80

If the bank settlement is R80 and CarZar offers the customer R100 then:

CarZar pays the customer R20
CarZar pays the bank R80

We’ve partnered with DEKRA and Kwikfit to offer our customers a convenient, safe and transparent inspection from certified and nationally reputable vehicle inspectors. Here are a few things you can expect at your inspection with DEKRA and Kwikfit:

A third-party inspector from DEKRA or KwikFit will describe the conditions of your car.

*Please note that off-site inspections are not available in all locations.

How do I change the time or date of my booked inspection?

So, you’ve scheduled an appointment and received a confirmation email, but would like to amend the booking date or time… All you need to do is:

Step 1: Go to the original email confirming your inspection details.
Step 2: Click on the “Update Booking” button.
Step 3: Edit your booking according to your preferences.

Alternatively, submit a query on our Contact page or drop us a message on our Live Chat by clicking on the chat icon at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Our customer service will be happy to help you!

I didn’t receive an email with my online valuation?

CarZar aims to send your car’s estimated value immediately via email. However, this may take up to a few minutes.

If you have not received an email providing your car’s online valuation after 20 minutes, perhaps try checking your spam or junk folder.

Alternatively, you may have entered an incorrect email address. In this case, you can request a new online quote with the correct email address or a different one.

If you have still not received an online car valuation email, please contact us directly by submitting a query on our Contact page or drop us a message on our Live Chat by clicking on the chat icon at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Our customer service will be happy to help you!

Why should I bring Documentation, Service History and Spare Keys to my inspection?

We require your NaTIS to prove you’re the rightful owner of the vehicle, Identity Document to validate the Vehicle Sales Contract, and Proof of Address to make a Change of Ownership at the Traffic Department. Not having a full Service History can also reduce your car’s market value by up to 10%, while not having Spare Keys can reduce your car’s market value by up to 5%. So, bring along spare keys and proof of Service History to get the highest possible value at your CarZar inspection.

My car has many additional custom features. Is this considered in the valuation?

When getting a free online calculation for your car’s current market value, CarZar’s algorithm does not calculate any additional custom features. Hence, you need to schedule an inspection to make sure that these extra features can be accounted for in your final cash offer. After your obligation-free inspection, you can decide between:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More ZAR for your car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. Here you’re guaranteed the best price the market is willing to pay for your car!

Do I need to provide any documentation at the inspection?

If you want to avoid expensive fines that do not belong to you, as well as ensure a clear vehicle track record in terms of road traffic violations, it’s probably best to ensure that the car buyer applies for a ‘Change of Ownership or Titleholder Particulars for a Vehicle at their local Traffic Department. However, in order to do this, they will need particular paperwork and forms from you.

Original NaTIS of the vehicle
Settlement letter (if financed)
A copy of your ID or Passport
Proof of address
Proof of bank details
Full proof of Service History

If purchased from a dealership, the car seller has to provide the invoice of the car purchase.
If purchased privately, the car seller has to provide the previous NaTIS of the car.

What happens after the inspection?

After your obligation-free inspection, you can decide between:

Option 1: Instant Cash

CarZar will make an instant cash offer at the end of your inspection.

Option 2: More for your Car

Looking for a higher price? Let us advertise your car to our nationwide network of dealers for 48-hours. Here you’re guaranteed the best price the market is willing to pay for your car!

To avoid any hitches down the road, ensure that you have all the necessary documents required to legally proceed with selling your car to CarZar at your inspection. If all the documentation is in order, one of CarZar’s car buyers will require you to sign a Vehicle Sales Contract, which is a binding agreement stating that the Seller sells and transfers to the Purchaser the particular make, model, year and registration number of a particular motor vehicle. CarZar will take care of the vehicle’s change of ownership for you!

If you decide to sell your car at a later stage, note that your online car valuation is valid for 7-days. If it has expired, you can get a new estimate for the market value of your car and schedule a new obligation-free inspection at one of our DEKRA or Kwikfit partner locations or at your preferred location.

*Please note that off-site inspections in are not available in all locations.
