If you’ve ever tried selling your car on Facebook Marketplace, you probably know the struggle — endless messages, unserious buyers, and time-wasters asking “last price?” before even viewing your car.
In contrast, Automart.co.ke was built specifically for Kenyan car sellers and buyers. It’s free, fast, and designed to connect you with genuine, ready-to-buy customers — not random browsers.
Here’s why free vehicle listings on Automart.co.ke outperform Facebook Marketplace every single time.
🚘 1. Built for Cars — Not Everything Else
Facebook Marketplace sells everything from shoes to sofas. That means your vehicle post competes with unrelated products.
On Automart.co.ke, every single listing is vehicle-related — cars, pickups, trucks, bikes, and spare parts.
Your ad appears where buyers actually search for cars, not next to furniture ads.
💡 Pro Tip: When buyers visit Automart, they’re already in a “car-buying mindset,” which increases your chance of closing the deal faster.
🧭 2. Zero Fees, Zero Hidden Charges
Many platforms charge posting fees or commissions — but not Automart.
You can list your car for free, as many times as you want.
You pay nothing to:
- Create an account
- Upload vehicle photos
- Publish listings
- Communicate with buyers
If you want a faster sale, you can optionally upgrade to Sponsored Promotions or Featured Video Ads, but basic listings are 100% free — always.
🧍 3. Serious Buyers, Not Time-Wasters
Facebook’s open nature attracts casual browsers — people who just want to chat or compare prices.
Automart.co.ke filters out the noise by focusing on genuine car buyers who are actively searching by make, model, year, and price range.
You’ll spend less time answering “Is this still available?” and more time meeting real buyers ready to pay.
📸 4. Professional Car Listings That Build Trust
On Facebook, car photos and descriptions are often inconsistent.
Automart’s system ensures every post includes:
- Clear vehicle details (make, model, year, mileage, transmission)
- Verified contact information
- Multiple photo uploads
- Location tagging
This standardization helps buyers compare vehicles easily — and builds trust in your ad.
✨ Pro Tip: Add a 20-second video and use Automart’s Featured Video Ads to stand out even more.
⚙️ 5. Advanced Search and Filtering
Buyers on Automart.co.ke can filter by:
- Make & Model
- Year of Manufacture
- Fuel Type
- Condition (New, Foreign Used, Kenyan Used)
- Price Range
- Location
On Facebook, buyers have to scroll endlessly through unrelated listings. Automart makes it effortless to find your vehicle, increasing inquiries and conversions.
🔒 6. Secure, Local, and Transparent
Because Facebook Marketplace is a global platform, it lacks Kenya-specific checks. You can’t always verify buyers or avoid spam messages.
Automart.co.ke is Kenyan-based and powered by Middleman Capital Holdings, ensuring reliable local support and safety practices.
Your personal info stays secure, and all communication is streamlined.
🛡️ Pro Tip: When meeting buyers, always use safe public locations like petrol stations — Automart recommends safety guidelines for every transaction.
🚀 7. Designed for Speed
Automart is fast — literally. The platform loads quickly on mobile devices, even on slower connections, and lets you post a car ad in under three minutes.
Steps to post:
- Create a free account.
- Click “Sell Vehicle.”
- Upload your car details and photos.
- Publish — instantly live to thousands of buyers.
Compare that with Facebook’s lengthy post verification, limited categories, and chat clutter — Automart saves you time and stress.
💼 8. Optional Upgrades That Boost Results
Unlike Facebook, where boosting is generic, Automart’s promotions are vehicle-specific:
- Sponsored Promotions: Push your ad to top pages and search results.
- Featured Video Ads: Display a video of your vehicle in motion for premium exposure.
That means every shilling you spend (if you choose to) directly targets serious Kenyan buyers looking for your exact type of car.
💬 9. Local Support When You Need Help
When something goes wrong on Facebook, you deal with automated bots or global support delays.
Automart, on the other hand, offers local support, run by Kenyans who understand your market.
Need help editing your ad, boosting visibility, or reporting an issue? You can reach out directly to Automart’s support team for assistance.
✅ 10. Better SEO = More Buyers
Automart.co.ke is optimized for Google Search, meaning your listing can appear when someone searches “Toyota Fielder for sale in Nairobi” — even outside the Automart website.
Facebook listings are hidden behind login walls, limiting your visibility on search engines.
Automart gives your car long-term discoverability — even weeks after posting.

It’s free, focused, secure, and built specifically for Kenyan car sellers — with better visibility, more serious buyers, and faster results.
