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

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.

Terrible app for an astronimical price
Terrible app for an astronimical price! Long gone are the days of 3 euro ads now 50 has donedeal got 16 times better to justify the price ? Most definitely not worse if anything, price gouging scumbags! Sooner a fairly priced alternative comes along the better

Thanks for sharing this — we hear the frustration, and we know feelings run strong on pricing.
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 sell faster and for more — so the value is real.
If you'd like to talk through your options, we're at hello@donedeal.ie.

Thanks for the feedback — that sounds like a bug we had on a previous app version, please could you make sure you've updated your mobile app to the most recent version available via your app store?
If things improve, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.
Price on request.
Any advert with price on request in machinery section is most annoying. If anyone is selling a tractor surely they know how much they want for it. I wouldn't even bother looking or phoning when I see it. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback — it's a fair point and one we hear from buyers regularly. Transparent pricing makes for a much better experience for everyone.
We'll make sure this gets passed to the right team. In the meantime, if you spot ads that look like they're not playing by the rules, feel free to report them directly.
If your experience was otherwise positive, we'd love it if you considered updating your rating.
Bogus Trader selling 50 cars
Reported a a so called car sales outfit to Done Deal 4 days ago, They have in excess of 50 cars for sale on DD, so a good DD customer.
I made a legitimate inquiry to the outfit re a car and the Eastern European boss was less than helpful, no info on the vehicle,
I checked the name of the outfit with the CRO and solo check and guess what?
Its a bogus-fictious company name.
No website, No email, No landline.
Sole point of contact is a Tesco mobile
Done Deal have done nothing and will do nothing

Very expensive to put add
Very expensive to put add.
Just imagine product I'm selling cost 90€
To put for sale in DoneDeal 32 Euro. And if you have to bump up you add then you left with no money.
I think if you use social media marketplace it's much better.
I'm not recommend DoneDeal

Thanks for sharing this — we hear you, and we understand the frustration when the ad cost feels high relative to the item's value.
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 sell faster and for more than on smaller, less targeted platforms — so the value is real.
That said, your feedback on lower-value items is noted and we'll make sure it gets to the right team. If you'd like to chat through your options, we're at hello@donedeal.ie.

I’ve never come across a worse website for searching cars. It honestly feels like it was built by incompetent developers.
