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

While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

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.

How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
Ordinary app
1. When clicking notification in email it doesn’t automatically redirect you to listing.
2. Separately when using the app you hit the Place Ad tab at the bottom, you can’t back out or click another bottom tab unless you click continue ad or start new ad.
3. Prioritises and muddled car listing into marketplace ads.
4. Platform persistently looks for reviews.

A few of these sound like issues with how the app is behaving, especially around notifications and navigation. That’s not how it should feel to use. If you can, please contact us via the Help Centre or email hello@donedeal.ie with your device details and we’ll take a closer look.
We’ll also pass on your feedback around listings and reviews to the team to review and improve.

It's a one stop shop for buying but also selling, I have been done dealing privately for a long time mostly buying and selling motorbikes for myself but I have also sold household appliances ect. It's value for money at a click.

Thanks for the feedback, we understand that can be disappointing.
Selling can take a bit of time depending on things like price, photos, and demand, but it should still feel worthwhile. If you’d like, you can contact us via the Help Centre and we can take a look at your ad to help improve its chances.

The ads offer full service + 3 month warranty.. not all cars from car dealers and the car breaks down an hour after purchase, and it's a major breakdown.

Sorry to hear that, that’s a really frustrating experience.
Issues like this come down to the seller, especially when a car isn’t as described or a warranty doesn’t hold up. We always recommend going with a Trusted Dealer where possible, as they offer clearer standards and support.
If the dealer was listed on DoneDeal, please report it via the Help Centre so we can review it. If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate you considering updating your rating once it’s looked into.

We’re sorry to hear that, and we understand why you’d feel that way.
We take scams very seriously and are constantly working to detect and remove suspicious activity. With millions of users, a small number of bad actors can appear, but we’ve built systems to catch and block them quickly.
If you’ve had a specific experience, please report it or contact us via the Help Centre so we can take action.
