Sell your car in Antwerp, running or not
In Antwerp, a 'finished' car never really is: what Belgium no longer wants, the port exports. Sturdy diesels, estates with 250,000 km, tired vans — everything a local garage waves away finds an outlet here toward West Africa or the Middle East. That's why our offer in Antwerp often beats what you'll get elsewhere: we're not buying your bodywork, we're buying what your mechanics are still worth on those markets.

The port sets the price, not the looks
As Europe's second-largest port, Antwerp loads entire ships of used cars every week toward markets where nobody looks at scratches or model years. What matters there: a reliable engine, easy-to-find parts, a model with an unbreakable reputation. Your 2011 diesel estate with 260,000 km ticks every box.
In practice: where a dealership offers you a token trade-in 'as a favour', we price our offer on actual export demand at that moment. The difference often runs to hundreds of euros, sometimes more for sought-after models.
Selling directly to the port traders? Let's be honest about it
Everyone in Antwerp knows someone who 'sold straight at the port'. Sometimes it goes fine. But we also hear the bad stories: the agreed price dropping €400 on the spot, the payment 'tomorrow, promise', and above all the plate never deregistered — with road tax still landing in your letterbox while the car is already sailing to Cotonou.
If you do try a direct sale, three common-sense rules: never hand over keys without full payment, never sell without immediate, documented DIV deregistration, and never sell 'for export' to someone who wants to keep your Belgian plates. With us, those three protections are automatic — and you don't even have to drive to the docks: we come to Berchem, Deurne, Wilrijk, Merksem or Hoboken, to your door.
Antwerp's LEZ: the planned tightening was scrapped, but the market has moved on
Good news first: in late November 2025, the Flemish government scrapped the tightening that would have banned Euro 5 diesels from the centre in 2026. Your Euro 5 can still drive into Antwerp — unlike Brussels, where it's been banned since January.
But let's be realistic: Euro 4 diesels and older remain excluded from the zone, and private buyers are already anticipating the next step — an older diesel sells worse and worse in the area, scrapped rule or not. The export market couldn't care less. If your listing has been sitting for weeks, that's probably the real reason.

Frequently asked questions about selling your car in Antwerp
A garage laughed at my 280,000 km. What would you offer?
A serious price, based on what your model is worth for export — not on the Belgian price guide, which shows close to zero past 250,000 km. A diesel that's always been serviced and starts first time stays in high demand in West Africa, precisely because those engines can take another 100,000 km there. Describe the car honestly, faults included: the offer accounts for everything, and it won't move on pickup day.
What's the difference between you and a port trader paying cash?
Three things, and they matter. One: the offer is in writing before the appointment, so no surprise renegotiation on the spot. Two: DIV deregistration happens the same day, with proof — that's what stops your tax and insurance, and protects you if the car keeps driving around somewhere. Three: we come to you, at a time that suits you, instead of keeping you waiting between two containers. The price tracks the same export market.
My roadworthiness test has expired — can I still sell?
Yes, no problem: selling to a professional buyer like us doesn't require the second-hand roadworthiness test — one of the big differences with selling to a private buyer, where you also need the Car-Pass and sometimes repairs before closing. Expired, failed or never taken: just describe the real situation, the offer takes it into account, and we handle the paperwork and deregistration afterwards.
