One place to buy, sell and look up a car
CarChive is a South African car marketplace and encyclopedia, built in Paarl. We connect buyers directly with dealers and private sellers, and we want to make buying and selling a car here simpler and more transparent.
What we do
- Vehicle marketplace
- Browse cars from dealers and private sellers, with search filters, specifications and photos on every listing.
- Car encyclopedia
- Look up brands and models with their specifications and history before you decide what to buy.
- Dealer tools
- Inventory management, lead tracking and subscription-based listing packages for dealerships.
- Finance calculator
- Estimate monthly repayments on any listing by adjusting the deposit, interest rate and loan term.
- Secure payments
- Listing fees and dealer subscriptions are paid through Paystack. CarChive never sees or stores your card details.
- Selling privately
- List your own car for a once-off fee from R99, with no subscription, and manage the ad from your dashboard.
