Selling Your Car

We're committed to providing a fair and transparent car buying service. Our experienced team will assess your vehicle and offer you a competitive price. Sell your car with confidence, knowing you're getting a great deal.

In the twelve months leading to February 2020, more than two million cars were bought using finance by consumers in the United Kingdom. The large majority of them (1.34 million) were used cars.

It is obviously not uncommon for cars to have finance attached to them. We make it super easy to sell your car even if finance is outstanding. All we need is an up-to-date settlement letter so we can pay the finance settlement direct to the finance company in full before the car is taken away. Any remaining balance owed to you is then transferred via immediate bank transfer. If, however, the finance settlement is more than the value of your car, the negative equity balance would need to be transferred to us before the finance is settled.

We guarantee the finance is settled immediately and not in three days' time like some other buying services!

A lot of people SORN cars for a number of reasons. Maybe it’s just a summer car or part of a collection. This doesn’t matter to us because we travel to you to inspect the car, so you don’t have to drive it. We also carry trade plates that allow us to test drive the car fully insured and legally. If the price is agreed, it can be legally driven away once payment is completed.

Great news! Because we come to you, the car does not need to have insurance as you do not need to drive it on the road. We are fully insured with a Motor Trade Policy, which makes it safe for us to drive the car for inspection purposes. If the price is agreed, we can drive it away after payment has been made!

We usually prefer a car to have a minimum of three months MOT, but we will look at each individual car to give the best value possible. If your car does not have an MOT, we will still purchase it, but as you can understand, the price would take into consideration that there is not a valid MOT.

To make everything run nice and smoothly these are the documents you will need to sell your car:

  • V5C Document or Log Book: We know not every car has it and some maybe only part but we will need to see the history your car has. This can be in the form of receipts or a service book. We do have access to some of the online systems in the office so in some circumstances we can access this for you.
  • ID: Again, we are aware these may be long or short or you may not even have one. Don’t worry if you have lost these as you can access old MOT’s online now with just the registration number.
  • Service History: We know not every car has this and some maybe only part but we will need to see the history your car has. This can be in the form of receipts or a service book. We do have access to some of the online systems in the office so in some circumstances we can access this for you.
  • MOT: We are aware these may be long or short or you may not even have one. If you don't have one we may be able to access old MOT’s online with just the registration number.
  • Finance Settlement: If your car is free of finance then this does not apply to you however, if your car has outstanding finance this will need to be settled and we can assist you with this. You will need a settlement letter from your finance company, this will have information on it that we will require e.g. The amount you owe, the bank details and also a date the amount needs to be paid by. Without this we cannot settle the finance on your behalf.
  • Keys: If your car has a spare key don’t forget to bring it with you. If your car only has one key this may affect the price slightly.
