Any state · we come to the car
Sell your car without the public.
How it works
Five steps, and you stay exactly where you are.
Two
We ring you with a number
Three
We come to the car
Four
A firm offer, there and then
Five
Paperwork, money, then the car
We do not buy every car. That is what makes us good to sell to.
One buyer gets your number. Not a lead market.
Before you spend a minute on it
Everything that could move the price, written down in advance.
This is the bit the industry gets sued over: a big number online, then a smaller one in your driveway once you have already given up your Saturday. So here is the entire list, before you have given up anything at all.
It is not quite the car we priced
A different build year, badge or gearbox to the one on the enquiry. This is far and away the most common one, and it is almost always an honest mix-up.
Damage we could not see
Panel damage, paint repairs, rust, a windscreen that needs replacing. Tell us up front and it is built into the number from the start, rather than changing it in your driveway.
Something does not work
Air conditioning, electrics, a warning light, a gearbox or a clutch on its way out. Say so early and it costs you nothing in the way you are treated.
The books are not there
A stamped logbook is worth real money to the dealer who buys the car next, so missing service history changes what we can pay for it.
The odometer is well off
More than about 5,000 km either side of what the enquiry said.
The title is not clean
A written-off or repairable write-off record, or finance nobody mentioned. We run the PPSR before we buy, so it comes up either way — much better sitting in the estimate than landing as a surprise.
Worth thinking about
Add up what a private sale really costs you.
Not in dollars. In Saturdays. In the safety certificate you pay for and whatever it turns up. In the fellow who rings in the middle of your kid's soccer game wanting to know what you will take for it, books a test drive for Sunday, and then needs to have a think about it. A private sale is a second job nobody applied for — and we are the version where you keep your weekend.
Selling it privately
- Photos, a listing, and your phone going for weeks
- Strangers at the house, and test drives on your own
- Safety certificate at your cost, and the payment risk is yours
Selling it to us
- We come to the car, in any state — you go nowhere
- About half an hour at your place, and it is done
- Safety certificate, paperwork and transfer are ours
- Paid the same day, and confirmed before the car leaves
