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.

It has become far to expensive to advertise on done deal the ad goes down the pecking order far to quickly
There was a time when you paid 3 euro for an ad the cheapest ad on plant machinery is 19.99 that’s fine when your selling something worth 20 or 30 k but why should we pay that to sell something at 2k or even 5 k

DoneDeal used to be the go-to place
DoneDeal used to be the go-to place, but charging €90 to advertise a vehicle is pure extortion. It feels like private sellers are completely being taken advantage of here. Hard to recommend when the entry barrier to just list a car is this high.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review — and for being a DoneDeal user.
We hear you on the cost, especially for private sellers. 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.
If you'd like to talk through your options, we're happy to help at hello@donedeal.ie. And if your experience was otherwise positive, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.

Way too many businesses using this site. Used to be a good place to find a bargain, now it's either businesses or people selling junk for a ridiculous price.

Private sales are still very much part of what DoneDeal is about. If you spot any businesses advertising as a private seller, please report the ad directly and our team will look into it.
We'll make sure this feedback gets to the right people.
The best I liked 👍

You're right that the odd listing can raise an eyebrow. If you ever spot something that doesn't look right, you can report it directly on the ad and our team will take a look.
Happy buying!

Numbers like 123456
Some ads just have random numbers as a price like 123456 but overall it's a very good app
