Sell your car online without taking the first price.

Why selling online beats one valuation

A used car does not have a single price. It has a range, and where your car falls in that range depends on who is looking at it. A buyer with three of the same model already sitting unsold will price yours defensively. A buyer whose regular customer is asking for exactly that specification will price it to win.

That gap is not small. On mainstream cars it is commonly several hundred pounds. On EVs, prestige and anything unusual it runs into thousands, because fewer buyers can move the car quickly and their appetites diverge much further.

The problem is that checking more than one buyer normally means repeating the whole process — the same details, the same forms, the same phone calls, four times over. Most people do it once, accept, and never learn what the other three would have paid.

What we do with your details

You give us the vehicle once. We put it in front of buyers whose current buying preferences match your make, model, age, specification and area, and we come back with the strongest offer we can confirm alongside the terms behind it.

That last part matters more than sellers expect. The headline number is only part of the deal.

• Whether collection is free or deducted
• Whether payment clears before the transporter leaves, or days afterwards
• Whether an admin or transfer fee applies
• Whether outstanding finance is settled directly with your lender
• Whether that buyer has a record of paying what it quoted

The reduction on the day

The complaint we hear most often is not about a low price. It is about a price that changed. A strong figure online, an appointment, then an inspection that finds reasons — paint not to trade standard, kerbing on two alloys, tyres below threshold — and a smaller number, at the point where saying no costs you the afternoon you have already spent.

We work against that in three ways. Offers are made against the description you give, so an accurate description leaves nothing to find. Any reduction at collection is recorded against that buyer. And because you have not signed anything, walking away costs you a phone call rather than the sale.

What we need from you

Registration, mileage, condition and finance position. Two minutes of work, and the more precise you are about marks and history, the firmer the offer that comes back.

• Registration — identifies the car against DVLA records
• Mileage — we prefill the last recorded MOT reading where available
• Condition — be honest about scuffs, dents and kerbing
• Service history — full, partial, or none
• Finance — PCP, HP, none, or unsure
• How you want to be paid — transfer, BACS or cash
