We’re pleased to announce the launch of Xcat Motors, a new area of the Xcat Marketplace dedicated to buying and selling cars, vehicle parts, tools and accessories.
🚘 Buy & Sell Cars — List and Sell Totally FREE
Xcat Motors uses a different approach to traditional vehicle marketplaces.
Sellers can list and sell their car totally FREE.
There is:
- No vehicle listing fee
- No sales commission
- No percentage taken from the sale price
Instead, Xcat uses a simple buyer-funded contact model.
A buyer can browse vehicle listings and view the vehicle details without charge. When they become seriously interested and want to contact the seller directly, they pay a small £1 one-off fee to reveal the seller’s contact details.
Once purchased, that buyer has permanent access to the seller's contact details for that vehicle listing.
💡 Why charge the buyer £1?
The £1 isn't intended to be a barrier to genuine buyers. It provides a small commitment before somebody gains access to the seller's phone number.
For a buyer who is genuinely considering purchasing a vehicle, £1 is a very small amount. But that small step may help reduce casual enquiries and time wasters, giving sellers a better chance of receiving contact from people with a genuine interest in their vehicle.
It also allows Xcat to keep the core proposition simple:
List your car FREE. Sell your car FREE. No sales commission.
🔧 Motor Parts & Tools
Xcat Motors isn't just about complete vehicles.
We've also launched the Motor Parts & Tools subcategory for vehicle-related products, including parts, accessories, maintenance equipment, workshop tools and other automotive items.
This means Xcat Motors can grow into a broader automotive marketplace where users can find not only their next vehicle, but also the parts and tools needed to maintain, repair and look after it.
Xcat Motors V1 is now live, and we'll continue developing it based on feedback and real-world use from buyers and sellers.
