Best private used car sites
Let’s get straight to the point of the guide by reviewing what I think are the best private used car sites. You can use it to buy a used car or sell your own.
AutoScout24
The first of the used car buying and selling sites that I want to suggest you visit is AutoScout24 . It is the number one online site in Italy for this type of ads. It is free, it integrates a very accurate internal search engine to sell your car and easily find the type of car you want if you want to make a purchase and not sell.
You ask me how to use it? As for buying a used car, first go to its home page, click on the car icon and use the menu you see on the screen to indicate whether you are interested in a new car ( New ), used ( Used ) or km . zero ( KM0 ). Then indicate the make , model , price and any other data you want to add to filter the results. Then click on the yellow button [ N ] Results to start the search.
On the new page that opens, scroll through the results found, click on the ad that interests you, and click the Contact seller button to contact him by email using the form provided, or use the phone number to call him. Before buying a car, make sure that it really suits you, and, if possible, ask its current owner to let you test drive it with him to avoid "surprises" and hidden defects.
If you want to sell a used car on Autoscout24, instead, connect to the service's home page, click the "Login" button (top right) and on the page that opens, register using your email address or, if you prefer, using your Google, Facebook or Apple account. .
After registering, click on the word Insert , and then click on the item Used cars . Once this is done, decide whether to actually sell to individuals ( Insert ad ) or perhaps to AS24 Express dealers ( Sell immediately ). Given the topic I am covering in this article, you will most likely be interested in the first option.
At this point, fill in the form that appears on the screen, indicating, using the appropriate drop-down menus, the make of the vehicle you wish to sell, its registration date, model, type of fuel used by the vehicle, etc. . If your vehicle is registered after 1994, you can speed up the process by providing the registration number (after clicking on the Registration tab). In any case, after entering all the necessary information, click on the Finish ad button to continue.
After checking the correctness of the information in the "Vehicle data" section, fill in the rest of the form, indicating the color of the car, its mileage, the final price (in euros), etc. On the other hand, in the "Photos" section, you can add up to 50 photos of the car by dragging them into the appropriate field or by clicking on "Select photos" and selecting the ones you want to insert.
Once you have also provided a description in the appropriate text box and filled in all the mandatory sections of the ad (marked with an asterisk), provide your contact information in the appropriate section, carefully indicating the zip code and city of the place where the car is located, your phone number, etc. Also choose whether to display the number in the ad by checking the appropriate option, and when you are ready to do so, click the "Publish" button to publish your ad.

Automobile.it
Another website that I recommend you "visit" is Automobile.it . It is also free and is undoubtedly a valid alternative to the portal that I indicated to you in the previous lines. It has grown exponentially in recent years, especially after the restoration of the possibility for individuals to publish ads for free. The service is also available as an application for Android (also in alternative stores ) and iOS/iPadOS .
To use it, first connect to its home page, then check the box in the "Used" field and use the form you see on the page to start searching for your used car. Then, define the make, model, maximum sale price and maximum mileage that interest you using the relevant menus.

If you wish, you can also compare one ad with another by clicking on the text "Compare" that you will find at the bottom right of each one, and then selecting other ads to evaluate.
On the other hand, if you are interested in understanding what you need to do to place an ad, click on the "Sell" inscription at the top of the site and click on the orange "Post an ad" button. .
Then fill out the proposed form, specifying the details of the ad using the drop-down menus located in accordance with the products Categories (e.g. Motors) and Subcategories (e.g. Cars) to indicate the object of your sale, i.e. your used car.
Then, enter the name of your municipality in the appropriate text field, check the box in the "I am offering" field under "I am offering/I am looking for a product", enter the title of the ad, the selling price of the car you are offering for sale, provide a detailed description of the same, and upload an image of the car (a maximum of 8 can be uploaded, each of which must have a "weight" of no more than 4 MB).

Subito.it
Although it is not exactly an online site for selling and buying used cars, it seems only right to me to also point out Subito.it . You have never heard of it? strange! It is practically the most used website for online advertising. Its strength lies precisely in this: being exploited by practically everyone, you can very easily find the used car of your dreams and you can just as easily sell the one you currently own. It is free, but offers some paid options that offer better ad placement.
To search for used cars on Subito.it, go to the site's home page, click on the "Search Engines" button on the left (in the "Engines" window) and use the drop-down menus in the window that appears on the screen to specify what you are looking for and where. Then click on the blue search button. .
Then look at the different ads that appear in the center of the page. For each one, you will find a photo of the car, the name, the sale price, the number of kilometers driven, the year of registration, the type of fuel used, the type of transmission and the emissions data (if available).
When you find an ad that interests you, click on it to view more details, and then, if everything meets your needs, click on the "Contact" button at the bottom to contact the seller by email and try to complete the purchase, or click on the telephone icon (if available) to display their phone number and be able to contact you via call.
If, on the other hand, it is you who wants to try to sell your used car, click on the (+) Add an ad button, located at the top right, and after indicating the subject of your ad, click on the wording Register, located in line with the New item on Now?
Then fill out the registration form, providing all the required data (email, password, date of birth, gender, municipality, etc.) and check the boxes regarding acceptance of the terms of service and privacy policy. Finally, click the "Confirm" button, and then click the link in the message that Subito sent to your email address.
If everything went well, you should be in front of a web page where you can place your ad on Subito. Therefore, fill in the form proposed to you, indicating the category (if the correct one is not set) and check the box For sale, which is located under the heading Ad type. Also indicate the month and year of registration of the car, make and model, equipment, mileage, etc.
Then upload the photos you have taken of the property by dragging them into the "Images" window or by clicking the camera icon to select photos to upload for the ad) and complete the ad by entering its title, description text and price (expressed in euros). ), the municipality where you are located, your phone number (choose whether to show it or not), etc.

I should note that Subito is also available as an app for Android (also in alternative stores) and iOS/iPadOS. .
Other used car sites
If for some reason the solutions I told you about in the previous lines don't suit you, take a look at these other used car sites. You might find one that suits you.
Uh-huh is a kind of special search engine for finding car ads that simultaneously browses hundreds of used car sites, allowing you to then compare the various available offers and immediately choose the one that best suits your needs (at least on paper). Bakeca is a general classifieds site that you can consider, as it has a section dedicated exclusively to the world of motors, which can be useful for both selling and buying used cars. Facebook Marketplace is a well-known social network that offers its members a function dedicated to buying and selling used materials, and includes a section entirely dedicated to the automotive sector in its marketplace.
