What is a verified listing?

A verified listing is a listing that effectively has a “stamp of approval” from a reputable and independent specialist workshop. To obtain a verified listing status, a seller needs to have the vehicle brought to one of our independent workshops for a pre-purchase inspection.

To verify your listing, we charge R3450.00 (inclusive of VAT), including the pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle.

We have a set list of 35 items that are checked on each vehicle. This list includes running diagnostics on the car, checking for any visible leaks or signs that the vehicle has been in an accident, interior and exterior lights check, instruments check, and the overall condition of the car inspected.

 

The specifications listed by the seller for the car, including mileage, engine make/model/size, any modifications done to the vehicle, etc., are also verified to check they match the online listing.

The pre-purchase inspection will take no longer than a couple of hours depending on the independent workshops’ availability. Upon making the booking, the timeframe will be communicated to you.

Once you have opted to have your listing verified, a representative from Torque Trader will assist you in finding the nearest Torque Trader-affiliated workshop.

 

Our current Verified Listing workshops are located in Randburg, Gauteng. However, we hope to make verified listings possible countrywide from 2023.
