Marketplace controls
Evidence before contact
Sawa Cars controls verification and publication. Users retain control—and responsibility—for the deal itself.
Independent inspection
Sawa Cars inspects the car but never sells it, and earns nothing from the sale.
Inspection evidence
Publication checks require a completed inspection when the platform inspection policy is enabled.
Controlled publication
Only authorized administrators publish, with the decision and readiness result retained in the audit history.
Direct transactions
Sawa Cars does not accept, hold or route user transaction funds and does not create the parties’ contract.

49 items are critical. One failure blocks publication at any score.

Questions
Before you commit
Do I pay anything through the app or website?
No. Sawa Cars has no checkout or payment gateway for vehicle sales or rentals. Buyers, sellers and rental providers decide payment and contract arrangements directly and should document them carefully.
What does the 150-point inspection actually cover?
Seven categories, 150 items, one point each. Every item is graded pass, flag or fail. The full report is on the listing before you commit.
Does Sawa Cars guarantee the transaction?
No. Sawa Cars reviews listings and seller eligibility, but it does not guarantee a vehicle, payment, rental deposit, contract, delivery or outcome between users. Always inspect, verify and agree terms in writing.
Can sellers list cars themselves?
Sellers submit vehicle information and can manage approved listing details, but only an authorized administrator can make a listing public after the required checks.
What does it cost to sell?
Any commercial service or listing charges are communicated separately by Sawa Cars and are not collected through a buyer–seller payment gateway. A vehicle transaction itself is always between the users.
Every car here passed the same 150-point inspection. There is no uninspected tier.
Review the listing evidence, contact the verified seller, then inspect, negotiate and document your own agreement. Sawa Cars never takes custody of the transaction funds.
