Cars24 review
An India-focused used-car marketplace with inspection details and online purchase options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cars24 is an online marketplace for people in India shopping for used cars. Buyers can browse cars owned by Cars24 alongside listings from verified direct sellers, with vehicle details and pricing indicators available on direct-seller listings. For Cars24-owned cars, listings include information from a 300-point inspection. The platform is suited to shoppers who want to compare these two listing types and may prefer online steps for reserving or paying for a vehicle; it is less suited to anyone expecting identical purchase options across every car or location.
The purchase process can include arranging a test drive at a Cars24 hub or, where available, at home. Selected vehicles can be reserved through an online payment process, and buyers can make vehicle payments online through the platform. Cars24 also offers used-car financing and EMI options through Cars24 and its lending partners. Delivery, financing and purchase options depend on the location and vehicle, so buyers should check the terms for a specific listing before planning around a test drive, delivery or financing offer.
Cars24’s focus extends beyond listing discovery: it also provides support with registration-certificate ownership-transfer paperwork. That makes it a reasonable fit for buyers who want a marketplace with some purchase and transfer support in one place, especially when an inspected Cars24-owned vehicle matches their needs. Buyers prioritizing inspection details should distinguish owned inventory from direct-seller cars, whose listing details include vehicle information and pricing indicators. Those who need a particular test-drive format, delivery option or financing arrangement should compare availability for the individual vehicle rather than assume it applies across the marketplace.
