Written by the company
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 four stars — means a lot.
We hear you on pricing, and we know it's changed over the years. That said, fees represent a small percentage of your item's value and help you reach Ireland's largest buying audience. With 3M+ monthly users and 1,000+ cars sold daily, listings on DoneDeal consistently sell faster and for more — that's something free platforms find hard to match.
If you'd like to talk through your options, we're happy to help at hello@donedeal.ie.
All of them are so good.

Thanks for sharing that — it's fair feedback and we get it.
We understand fees aren't ideal, but they 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 compared to smaller, less targeted platforms.
If you'd like to talk through your options, we're here at hello@donedeal.ie. And if your experience was otherwise positive, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.

Generally ok but be cautious
It works ok but there is ai slop in ads so you cant rely on information being factual for example car Tax. Also a this site has criminals and a lot of scammers and flippers. Ad prices are in propotion to the value of goods sold to some extent.
