Very expensive to put up an ad compared to the price when it started and Facebook market place is free so its always the first place anybody puts an ad

DoneDeal Cars is Ireland’s favourite place to buy a car (Human8, Independent Research, 2026), with 2.2 million people using DoneDeal Cars every month and 3.5 million across DoneDeal overall. For over 20 years, DoneDeal has been part of homes, farms and families, a place where people have bought and sold everything from kitchen tables to farm machinery to cars. That’s where DoneDeal began: Ireland’s general marketplace, connecting communities across the country. But Ireland has evolved. And so has DoneDeal. We’ve grown from a general buy-and-sell site into Ireland’s largest car marketplace, built for everyone from learners to lifelong drivers. Today, DoneDeal Cars is Ireland’s number one car marketplace, with more new and used cars for sale from dealerships than any other site. With over 86,000 cars available, 80% are listed by dealerships, and many are now DoneDeal Cars Trusted Dealers, offering warranties, verified history checks and top-rated service, so peace of mind comes as standard. Behind DoneDeal Cars is a team across Ireland focused on making car buying better, safer and simpler. Because buying a car should feel this good.

Thanks for the three stars — really glad DoneDeal is delivering value and exposure for you.
If there's anything we could do better to earn that extra star or two, we'd love to hear it. Feel free to reach out at hello@donedeal.ie.
Ever since this company was taken over…
Ever since this company was taken over by a hedge fund who bought three companies together that's what daft for property, adverts and donedeal for car sale.
They have become a greed machine as they have monopolised the market especially for car sales.
Advertisement cost is so high that is out of reach from a normal seller who's not a motor trader to advertise.
Prices range from 36.99 43.99 even 56 or 60 euros depending on the asking price of the car. Most of the time car doesn't sell within two to three weeks and then you're out of auto bumps then you only have one option to pay again and get your ad on top.
DoneDeal platform is not even that great because when you have a auto registration to collect the details most of the time it picks up incorrect details.
Money making racket and fleecing consumers.marketpe all to try to comes into the market
I hope AutoTrader in UK comes into the Irish market to give them a real competition as their website is much better and prices much more competitive

Thanks for sharing this — we hear your frustration, and we know feelings run strong on pricing.
Fees represent a small percentage of your car's value and help you reach Ireland's largest car-buying audience. With 3M+ monthly users and 1,000+ cars sold daily, listings on DoneDeal sell faster and for more — so the value is real.
Your feedback on the auto-registration feature is noted and we'll make sure it gets to the right team. If you'd like to talk through anything, we're at hello@donedeal.ie.

The greed machine at Done Deal knows no bounds
The greed machine at Done Deal knows no bounds, it would seem.
Motoring ads are far too expensive, particularly for budget cars. I often let the ad run for a fortnight on Marketplace and only use Done Deal as a last resort if my item is unsold.
I also find myself unable to use the internal messaging. If a prospective buyer low balls you and you decline then the system will allow them to leave a rating and it could be based on sour grapes.
I also feel that there should be no visible opinion by the site around any of the information within my ad, eg a remark by Done Deal indicating mileage is considered high. If I am paying these rates then let the buyer decide for themselves how they feel about mileage. The system has zero credibility when 167k KM is considered 'Same as Average' mileage on a twenty year old car.
Years ago, Buy & Sell got greedy, transferring customers who were entitled to place free ads over to their sales dept for paid ads in an attempt to increase revenue and we all know how that went.
I look forward to the day when Done Deal gets theirs, I am certain that it will be very satisfying.

Thanks for the feedback — and glad you're finding DoneDeal useful.
You make a fair point on the filters. We'll make sure this gets passed to the team. In the meantime, if you spot any ads that look like they're in the wrong category or duplicated across counties, please report them directly and we'll look into it.
