Selling Your Car - The Wise Guide

Welcome! We want to help you understand how much you might get for your car and make the selling process easy. Here's what you need to know:

Who Buys Your Car?

Our platform has two types of buyers: private individuals and businesses (sole traders, limited companies). Here’s a quick breakdown:

Business Offers

Businesses, like traders and dealers, usually offer around the trade price for your vehicle. Before your listing goes live, our team will do a trade valuation to give you a clear idea of this price. This helps ensure you get a fair and realistic offer based on the current market.

Traders and dealers are professionals who buy and sell cars for a living. They understand the market and offer competitive prices. Selling to them is quick and straightforward. You don’t have to worry about the paperwork or the hassle of negotiating with multiple buyers. They handle everything for you.

Individual Offers

Private individuals often offer higher than traders. However, selling to a private buyer can sometimes be more complicated and might take a bit more effort. While you could get a higher price, the process might require more time and patience.

With private buyers, you may have to handle multiple enquiries, set up test drives, and negotiate prices. This can be time-consuming and sometimes stressful. There’s also the risk of last-minute cancellations or changes.

Why Sell to Dealers/Traders?

Selling to a dealer or trader can be a great choice if you want a hassle-free and stress-free experience. These buyers are professionals who handle the transaction efficiently, making sure everything goes smoothly from start to finish.

Here are some benefits of selling to traders and dealers:

  • Quick Sales: Traders and dealers are ready to buy. Once they make an offer, they can complete the sale quickly, often within a day or two.
  • No Hassle: You don’t have to deal with multiple buyers or negotiations. Traders and dealers handle all the details for you.
  • Secure Payment: Traders and dealers offer secure payment methods, ensuring you get your money without any risk.
  • Professional Service: These buyers are experienced and know how to handle all the paperwork and legalities, making the process seamless for you.

Getting the Best Price

Our platform lets you receive offers from both businesses and individuals, giving you the flexibility to choose the best one for you. Each offer clearly shows if it’s from a business or an individual, so you can make an informed decision.
