The used car market in Poland in 2025

Poland is one of the largest used car markets in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles are sold here every year — both domestic and imported from abroad. Prices can vary significantly depending on the region, season, and how quickly you react to a listing.

The best deals — cars in good mechanical condition, with low mileage, and at a reasonable price — disappear from portals within a few hours. Sellers often receive a dozen calls within the first day. Whoever calls first has the best chance of making the purchase.

Where to look for car listings?

In Poland, there are two main platforms for automotive listings:

  • Otomoto.pl — the largest automotive portal in Poland. It specializes exclusively in cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles. It offers advanced filters: make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, and much more.
  • OLX.pl — a general classifieds website with a large automotive section. Private sellers who don't list on Otomoto often post here. Prices can be lower since sellers don't pay for promotion.

Effective searching requires browsing both platforms simultaneously. Many attractive deals appear on only one of them.

Why speed of reaction is key

Imagine this: a listing appears — Volkswagen Golf VII, 2018, 80,000 km, price 15,000 PLN below market average. That offer won't wait. Within an hour, the seller will receive 20 messages and 10 phone calls. If you only see the listing in the evening when you're coming home from work — your chances are already minimal.

That's why reaction time is your greatest advantage. The person who learns about the deal first can schedule a viewing and make a decision while others haven't even seen the listing yet.

Monitor Ofert — your car search assistant

Monitor Ofert is a Telegram bot that automatically checks new car listings on Otomoto and OLX. You set your search criteria once — make, model, price range, year — and the bot does the rest.

Every few minutes, the system checks whether new listings have appeared. If so — you get a notification straight to your phone. With a photo, price, year of production, and a link to the listing. You can call the seller right away.

Importantly, a single monitor covers both Otomoto and OLX simultaneously. You don't need to set up two separate searches — one setup covers both platforms.

Practical tips

  • Set precise filters — the more accurately you define what you're looking for, the fewer irrelevant notifications you'll receive.
  • React quickly — when you get a notification about an interesting deal, call right away. Sending a message takes more time and is less effective.
  • Monitor multiple variants — if you're considering 2-3 car models, set up a separate search for each one.
  • Use the trial period — Monitor Ofert offers 5 days free, with no credit card required.
