About us
Neostar is a story about how to solve the problem of trust and change the traditional relationship between used car dealers, mechanics, and customers, without either of the parties involved getting the short end of the stick — at least not under our watch.
Buying and selling cars has become much more common today due to shifts in life circumstances and various other reasons, so we no longer buy a car only once or twice in a lifetime. Market research in Croatia showed that 81% of people had a problem selling or purchasing a used car. 68% believe people don’t tell the truth when they are selling a used car. 24% are afraid that they will be deceived, and only 49% bought a used car with a warranty.
Here at Neostar, there is a genuine love and passion for cars, which brought us together in the first place. We connect people who want to sell, buy or maintain a car without complications and risks. We help sellers establish a fair price for their vehicles and offer an elegant solution for bidding. We will inspect every car, take 360° photos, and advertise it on our platform - for free. In addition, we will arrange all the paperwork for future buyers and provide a 6 to 12month warranty. But that is just the beginning. We want to help users during the whole lifecycle of their car, providing access to fully transparent car maintenance with competing workshops and every service cost known in advance.
What are we bringing to the used car market?
Neostar is an innovative digital platform that aspires to solve the problem of trust between sellers, mechanics, and buyers of used cars. Don’t be fooled by our colorful design - we are very serious about preventing fraud and starting a revolution in this murky industry by using the most efficient weapon today - technology.
