I DO NOT HAVE A LOGBOOK – WILL YOU BUY MY CAR?

For us to be able to buy your car, we need the V5 and it needs to be registered in your name.
You can apply for a new V5 (LOGBOOK) from the DVLA by completing and sending a V62 to them which you can get from the post office or online at www.direct.gov.uk
If the car is registered in your name, DVLA have a fast track system available.

MY LOCAL GARAGE HAVE OFFERED MORE, IF I SELL MY CAR AS A PART EXCHANGE, CAN YOU MATCH IT?

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.

A dealer may offer what appears to be an excellent price for your car – but be aware - they may have a large profit margin built into the car they are trying to sell you and can give you some of that margin to make the deal sound appealing to you.

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!

I HAVE SEVERAL FINANCE PAYMENTS LEFT ON MY CAR – HOW DO I SELL MY CAR?

You can either settle your outstanding finance directly with your finance company – we will require written confirmation from them that they have received full, cleared payment or;

We can settle the finance on your behalf, we will simply deduct the outstanding balance from the valuation of your car  - we will need, in writing, from the finance company, the settlement figure, which due to data protection laws – you will need to get from them.

NB - If you owe more than the sale price of your car to the finance company- you will need to pay the balance prior to selling your car to us and us collecting it – we will require written confirmation of this from your finance company. Alternatively you can pay us the difference in the form of a Bankers draft made payable to the finance company.

DO YOU BUY IMPORTS?

Yes we will buy imported cars. 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.
