Private Customers

You know the situation... You've been trying to sell your car but have been unsuccessful so far. You've tried all the normal sources in newspapers, magazines and even various car web sites, and still had no success to date.

And all this advertising is costing you a small fortune - with no positive results!

If you have a reasonably high specification vehicle up to 5 or 6 years old, then give us a call and we'll see if we can help. There are numerous main agents and independent dealers looking for prime used vehicles to fulfil their requirements, and we know who they are.

What's the Cost?

Well, the good news is that if you're selling your vehicle, there isn't any! Zero... Zip... Nichts... Rien... Nada... Niente... Nothing!

Unlike most companies, we charge you nothing to sell your car on your behalf.

If you have already advertised your car, you will have most probably been called by numerous canvassing organisations who will offer to sell your vehicle for a fee of around £80 to £90. They hope to sway your decision in their favour by telling you that "...we have already identified several buyers in your area who are ready to buy your car today......".

Unfortunately 99% of the time this is untrue so please do not be taken in by these organisations.

More often that not they have nobody at all who is ready to buy your car, either today or tomorrow but their sales patter can be very persuasive and is also misleading. It is easy to be taken in by their (often) insistence that as soon as you have paid your money, then somebody will turn up to buy your car within 24 hours. This just won't happen - but they will have your money by then!

So how and why are we different you ask?
Well it's because we take the time to talk to you about your vehicle and go through a comprehensive checklist to ensure that we have all the details about the vehicle including an accurate description of its overall condition, its full specification and options, its service history, its ownership and much, much more.

We then also carry out checks with the DVLA and also HPI the car to confirm:

• Its authenticity
• The correct make and model
• The year of registration
• Whether it's a UK registered car, or whether it was registered abroad and then imported to the UK
• The number of owners
• If there is any finance outstanding
• If there have been any registration plate change changes (personal plates) etc
• If the vehicle has ever been in any accidents during its life, where an insurance claim or insurance loss was involved

This professional and ethical approach to what we do ensures that we find the right buyer for your vehicle as quickly as possible, and not waste anyone's time.

And how do we make our money?
Because we only charge our buyers! They pay us a fee for the vehicles they source through us.
 
This way, we can help you (the seller) find the right buyer for your vehicle, at a competitive price, and all at no cost to you! 

So how does this work?
During our initial call with you, we go through the checklist about your car (as described above).

With this information, we then compile an advert for your car to put in front of relevant dealers who either may be interested in your car, or who we know are already looking for such a particular vehicle. This advert clarifies the car and the specific model, and then goes on to detail it's age, no of owners, overall specification, maintenance service history and overall condition including interior, exterior, wheels and tyres.

Wherever possible, we will also ask you for digital pictures of your car, covering the interior, exterior and wheels; as these can significantly help any potential buyer to make a decision, particularly as they have no chance of physically seeing the car beforehand. 

We then:

• Email your car's details to our extensive dealer contact database
• Telephone individual dealer contacts who are on our 'hit' list
• Submit your car's details to a number of motor trade Internet web sites which are regularly 'surfed' by dealers looking for specific cars

This allows us to bring your car to the attention of several hundred dealers across the country within minutes, and therefore immediately increases the likelihood of finding a potential buyer.

If we locate an interested buyer, they will make an 'offer' for your car, based on our advert and the car's detailed description, and (hopefully) any pictures we have.

We will then relay this offer to you.

If acceptable, we will initiate all the relevant paperwork and then work with you and the buyer to agree a collection date and payment.

Dealers are normally able to collect within a few days, and when they arrive they will inspect the vehicle to ensure that everything is satisfactory. (This is why we take so much time at the outset - to make sure that the car is described as accurately as possible).

If everything is in agreement, the dealer will hand over the payment and take the car away.

The process is that simple. And all it has cost you is a few minutes of your time at the outset to give us all the details of your car.

There's nothing else for you to do - and no more paying out for adverts that are costing you a fortune!

If the car is on finance - no problem! We'll just ask you to contact the finance company and ask for a settlement figure. The dealer who is buying your car will pay off the balance of the finance, and provide you with all the documentation that details this. The balance will then be paid to you when he collects the car. Again - a simple process!

So why not take advantage of our experience, contacts and professionalism.
