What are the steps from registration to a signed deal?

CarsBook removes the parts of used-car trading that slow dealers down: finding stock, checking who is on the other side, and agreeing on a price with no record. Here is the whole process.

  1. Register

    Install the app and create a dealer account. You need your business name, owner name, mobile number, email, address, city and state. An optional dealership logo helps other dealers recognise you.

    Step 1 - About 3 minutes

  2. Get verified

    Your registration is submitted as Pending. The CarsBook team reviews the business details you provided and approves or rejects the account, typically within 24 - 48 hours. Rejected accounts are shown a reason and can contact support.

    Step 2 - Usually under 2 days

  3. Start your free plan

    Approval activates your free plan, which costs nothing and never expires. You can open the marketplace, search and filter every approved dealer's inventory, start conversations, and list 1 car at a time.

    Step 3 - 1 car, no expiry

  4. Browse or publish

    Searching and contacting dealers need no plan at all, and never expire. Publishing is capped by plan, and the free plan already covers 1 car. Take a paid plan when you need more than one live, then use the guided flow to add photos, specs, condition, price and documents.

    Step 4 - Plans start at 1 car

  5. Chat with the dealer

    Every conversation lives on the vehicle it is about. Send text, photos, documents or a voice note. The other dealer gets a notification in the installed app, so replies stay quick.

    Step 5 - Dealer to dealer

  6. Make and negotiate offers

    Send an offer. Get a counter, or send one back, or accept. The full sequence is kept as a timeline on that vehicle. CarsBook does not process vehicle payments - inspection, payment and RC transfer happen between the two dealers.

    Step 6 - You keep the margin

What approval unlocks

What happens to your dealer account during review?

Only approved dealers can open the marketplace. That single rule is what keeps CarsBook a dealer network rather than another open classifieds site.

  • Pending
  • Under review
  • Approved

What can I do on the free plan?

  • List 1 car at a time, which stays live for 30 days
  • Browse every approved dealer's inventory on the network
  • Filter by make, model, year, fuel, transmission, owners, km, price, city and state
  • Open a vehicle page and review photos, specs and pricing
  • Message a listing dealer in the vehicle's own thread
  • Send an offer and receive counters

Why can I not publish more than one car on the free plan?

  • More than 1 car at a time - the free plan holds a single listing
  • Removing that car early - the listing is locked for its 30 days, then comes down automatically and frees the slot for your next car
  • Any change to plan pricing - plans are set by the CarsBook team

After a paid plan ends

What happens when my paid plan ends?

Nothing is deleted. Your listings are delisted and you drop back to the free plan, but browsing, filtering and contacting dealers carry on exactly as before, with no limit and no expiry.

What happens to my listings?

When a paid plan ends, your listings are delisted so the marketplace never shows cars that cannot be traded. You drop back to the free plan, where your single free slot is open again.

Will I be reminded before my listings lapse?

Expiry reminders appear in the app before a paid plan or a free listing period runs out, so renewal is a decision, not a surprise.

Do I lose browsing if I stop paying?

No. Browsing, filtering and contacting dealers stay free and unlimited, so you keep working the network. Take a plan again and your listings go back live. Your dealer account, chat history and network position are unaffected.
