Donor vehicles
Why you add the vehicle first, how to add it by VIN or manually, and what the internal reference, yard location and vehicle statuses mean.
On this page
A donor vehicle is a car you are dismantling. Every part you list is linked to it, so buyers see the year, engine and mileage, and you get suggested parts, faster entry and an overview of “what is left of this car”. That is why it pays to add the vehicle before the parts.
How to add a vehicle
Open Vozila (Vehicles) and choose “Novo vozilo” (on a phone: “Dodaj” → “Novo vozilo”). There are four steps and your data is saved automatically.
Identification
Choose the VIN, Tablica (plate) or Ručno (manual) tab. A VIN has 17 characters and is checked live; if decoding is unavailable a message appears and you enter the data manually. For an imported vehicle without papers pick “Ručno” and type the make and model.
Vehicle details
Make, model, generation, body type, year, engine (code, displacement, power), fuel, gearbox, mileage and colour. Fields decoded from the VIN carry a “VIN ✓” badge, and fields you must verify yourself are highlighted yellow (a VIN does not contain, say, trim level or mileage).
Box and photos
Vehicle photos (VIN plate, whole car, interior, engine) reduce buyer questions. Up to 12 photos. Also enter the vehicle’s location in the yard, for example “Dvorište, red 3”.
Confirmation
A final check, then “Spremi vozilo i dodaj prvi dio”. You can also “Spremi kao nacrt” (save as draft).
What buyers see and what they do not
Buyers see make, model, year, mileage, engine and fuel. The VIN is never shown publicly, and the registration is shown with the last 2 characters masked. Notes (condition, damage, write-off reason) and the yard location are internal.
Vehicle statuses
| Status | When to use it |
|---|---|
| U rastavljanju (being dismantled) | The car is in the yard and you are removing parts. |
| Djelomično oglašeno (partly listed) | Some parts are listed, more to follow. |
| Potpuno rastavljeno (fully dismantled) | Everything of value is removed and listed. |
| Prodano u cijelosti (sold whole) | You sold the car as a whole. |
| Arhivirano (archived) | You no longer want it in your working lists. |
What you can do from the vehicle page
The vehicle page shows the part count, active listings and the value of your offer, plus buttons to add parts: “Brzi unos” (phone checklist), “Brzo dodaj” (a table for several parts at once) and “Detaljno” (the full form). You also print labels for all of the vehicle’s parts here. In the parts list the “Po vozilu” view groups parts by vehicle.
Do I need a VIN?
No. You can enter a vehicle manually (make, model, year). A VIN helps because it fills in a lot of data and reduces mistakes.
My year does not match the generation.
The system warns you if the year is outside the selected generation’s range (a Golf V runs from 2003 to 2008, for instance). Check your entry or pick the right generation.
The engine has a different mileage than the chassis.
Switch on “Motor je zamijenjen” and enter the engine mileage separately.
