When listing a vehicle on CarCollect, you use a module to record the vehicle's condition, any damage, components and available options. The module you choose depends on the type of vehicle you want to offer.
CarCollect has three modules for listing vehicles: the Car module, the Motorcycle module and the Truck module. The modules follow the same basic principle but differ in the components, features and information relevant to each vehicle type.
By using the correct module, you can describe the vehicle as completely and accurately as possible. This gives potential buyers a better understanding of what to expect.
1. Car module
The Car module is designed for listing passenger cars. The module is tailored to the components, accessories and features associated with a car.
When entering a car, you can specify any damage and check the relevant components and options. This allows you to record not only the car's overall condition but also specific details that may be important to a potential buyer.
What can I record?
Damage: indicate where the car is damaged so it is clear which areas require attention.
Components: check whether the relevant components are present.
Options and accessories: record which components and accessories are available with the car.
Missing components: indicate when a relevant component is missing, such as a parcel shelf.
Why is this module important?
For passenger cars, both the visible condition and the completeness of the vehicle matter. For example, damage to a body panel may affect the assessment of the vehicle. Missing components or accessories may also be relevant to a potential buyer.
By completing the Car module carefully, you provide as complete a picture of the car as possible and help ensure that important information about damage or missing components is not overlooked.
2. Motorcycle module
The Motorcycle module is designed for listing motorcycles. It follows the same principle as the Car module but takes into account the specific components and features of a motorcycle.
Because a motorcycle is built differently from a passenger car, the relevant components and input fields also differ. For example, a motorcycle has two tyres instead of four, and accessories such as cases may be important.
What can I record?
Damage: indicate where the motorcycle is damaged.
Tyres: enter the tread depth of both tyres so that the condition of each tyre can be recorded separately.
Components: check the relevant components of the motorcycle.
Accessories: indicate whether accessories, such as cases, are present.
What is the difference compared with the Car module?
The main difference is that the Motorcycle module is tailored to the structure of a motorcycle. Whereas a car has four tyres and components such as a parcel shelf, different features are relevant to a motorcycle.
Recording the tread depth of both tyres, for example, provides insight into their condition. The presence of cases or other relevant accessories may also be important when assessing the motorcycle.
Using the Motorcycle module helps prevent you from entering vehicle information based on components that apply to passenger cars but not to motorcycles.
3. Truck module
The Truck module is designed for listing trucks. Like the Car and Motorcycle modules, you use this module to record damage, components and relevant vehicle features. However, its layout is tailored to the specific characteristics of trucks.
Different components and features are relevant to trucks than to passenger cars or motorcycles. That is why a separate module is available to better suit this type of vehicle.
What can I record?
Damage: record any damage to the truck.
Components: check and select the relevant components of the vehicle.
Vehicle features: record the features that are important when assessing the truck.
Present or missing components: check which relevant components are present and record any that are missing.
What is the difference compared with the Car and Motorcycle modules?
The basic principle of the Truck module is the same: you describe the vehicle's condition and record relevant components and features. The main difference lies in the components and information specific to trucks.
A truck has a different structure and purpose from a passenger car or motorcycle. As a result, different vehicle components and features are relevant when assessing it. The Truck module is designed to accommodate these differences, allowing you to enter information appropriate to the vehicle you are offering.
4. Differences between the modules
Although all three modules serve the same purpose, each is tailored to a different vehicle type.
Feature | Car module | Motorcycle module | Truck module |
Vehicle type | Passenger car | Motorcycle | Truck |
Record damage | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Check components | Components relevant to cars | Components relevant to motorcycles | Components relevant to trucks |
Tyres | Accounts for four tyres | Enter the tread depth of two tyres | Tailored to the tyres and features of the truck |
Examples of accessories or components | Parcel shelf and car options | Cases and motorcycle accessories | Components and features specific to trucks |
The main difference: the process is similar, but each module's content is tailored to the vehicle type. This allows you to record the correct components, options and features for each vehicle.
5. Which module should I choose?
Always choose the module that matches the vehicle you want to list:
Listing a passenger car? Use the Car module.
Listing a motorcycle? Use the Motorcycle module.
Listing a truck? Use the Truck module.
Then check the components, record any damage and complete the relevant vehicle details as thoroughly as possible.
Tips for entering vehicle details correctly
Record all visible damage. Do not overlook damage that may be relevant when assessing the vehicle.
Check components and accessories. Clearly indicate what is present and what may be missing.
Enter specific details carefully. For a motorcycle, for example, record the tread depth of both tyres.
Use the correct module. This ensures that you work with components and features appropriate to the vehicle type.
Review the information before offering the vehicle. A complete and accurate description helps potential buyers assess the vehicle more effectively.
Accurate vehicle information increases transparency for potential buyers and helps provide a realistic picture of the vehicle's condition and specification.
