Frequently Asked Questions
What if my car has outstanding finance?
We can still buy your car if it has outstanding finance. We'll help settle the finance directly with your lender and pay you any remaining balance.
Can I sell a car that's not in my name?
The V5C document must be in your name, or you must be officially listed as a named keeper. If the car is registered to someone else, they'll need to be present during the transaction or provide written authorization.
What happens to my private plate?
If you want to keep your private plate, you should arrange to remove it before selling your car. If you inform us in advance, we can assist with the process.
How long is your valuation valid for?
Our valuations are typically valid for 7 days, subject to inspection of the vehicle at the time of collection.
