MY LOCAL DEALER HAS OFFERED MORE, IF I SELL MY CAR TO HIM AS A PART EXCHANGE, CAN YOU MATCH IT?
The most important thing to take into account, is what is the real cost to you to change cars. It may be that by becoming a cash buyer by selling your car to a cash car buyer, you may be able to find a similar car to the one you were considering, cheaper elsewhere – therefore making the cost to change, less!
A dealer may offer what appears to be an excellent offer for your car – but he may have a large profit margin in the car he is trying to sell you and can give you some of that margin to appease you. Call us and tell us what you have been offered. We do not have an ulterior motive – we want to buy your car and are not trying to sell you something.
MY CAR IS FINANCED, CAN I SELL MY CAR?
Yes, but the outstanding finance must be settled. You have 2 options;
- You can settle directly with your finance company, we will need written confirmation from your finance company when we collect the car.
- We can settle the finance on your behalf, you will need to obtain a settlement figure directly from the finance company. Data protection laws require that you obtain the settlement figure, which we require in writing from them. We can then deduct the outstanding amount from the valuation of your car and pay the balance to the finance company.
NB; if you owe more than the valuation of the car, the outstanding balance needs to be settled prior to us collecting the car and we will require written confirmation from your finance company.
DO YOU BUY IMPORTED CARS?
Yes we will buy imports. We consider each car on its own merit, bear in mind that the specifications on an imported car may be different to that of a UK spec car, so the value can often be different to that of a UK car. Call us and tell us about your particular car.
I DO NOT HAVE MY LOGBOOK – WILL YOU BUY MY CAR?
We must have the logbook/ V5 document to be able to buy your car from you. If you do not have one you can apply for a new one by completing a V62 form and sending it to the DVLA (address on the form) which you can obtain from the post office or online at; www.direct.gov.uk
