2. Sell Your Car

We are always happy to consider purchasing your car, either for cash or in part exchange for another vehicle, either new or used.

Initially you may want a general guide as to what you car is worth, like any market this varies from day to day and is subject to supply and demand.

Why Should You Sell Your Car To Us?

You are likely to get the most for your car from another private buyer. However there are disadvantages to selling privately.

• You may have to pay for advertising and this cost can quickly escalate, especially if there isn't significant demand for your car. You will probably be phoned by numerous other advertising media trying to get you to advertise your car.
• You will have to deal with potential purchasers. This is both time consuming and can be daunting for those not used to the car selling process.
• Your car may not be as desirable as one bought from a Trade seller, because the purchaser won't have as many rights in the event they have purchased your car and it subsequently develops a fault. Plus, there are unscrupulus sellers out there who have sold cars which are not quite as they are described. Only later has the buyer discovered this and as a private purchase there is no warranty.

A No Hassle Selling Process

We are unlikely to be able to offer you the full retail value for your car, because we have to spend money preparing it for sale, including valeting the vehicle both inside and out, we have to pay VAT, we have to provide aftersales support once we have sold you car and we have to make a profit.

However, what we do offer is a no hassle selling process. We will give you a quote for your car, which we will then stand by - there will be no hidden charges or fees - as long as when we take pocession of the car it is as was originally described to us, or seen by us.

Selling your car to us couldn't be simpler.
