Sell your car for cash

Selling a car privately means adverts, phone calls at odd hours and strangers on your drive. Part-exchanging it usually means taking less than it is worth. We offer another way: tell us about the car, get a price by text, and we collect it and pay you on the same day.

How we work out your price

We do not use an automatic price for every car with your number plate. Someone on our team looks at the make, model, age and mileage, then asks you about the things a database cannot see: the service history, how many keys you have, the bodywork and how it drives. For some cars we ask for a few photos of the inside and outside.

You get the quote by text, usually within 45 minutes during opening hours. It costs nothing, you are under no obligation to accept it, and it is valid for 7 days.

Will the price change when you see the car?

Only if the car is different from the description. Our quotes are subject to viewing, so we look the car over when we collect it. If the condition matches what you told us, we pay the price we quoted.

What you need on the day

• The V5C logbook
• Photo ID, such as your driving licence or passport
• At least one key

Take your belongings out of the car before we arrive. If it has a personalised registration you want to keep, apply to DVLA to take it off before collection. For a sale, we collect from the address the car is registered to.

The paperwork and payment

We help you fill in the logbook and give you a receipt. You keep the yellow slip, which is section 4 on logbooks issued since April 2019 and section 9 on older ones, and tell DVLA online that you have sold the car to the motor trade. DVLA then refunds any full months of vehicle tax automatically. We pay you when we collect, and we confirm the payment method with you beforehand.

Cars we buy

Any make and any age, and vans up to 3.5 tonnes. We also buy cars that other buyers turn down: non-runners, MOT failures and write-offs, and cars that are only fit for scrap.

Where we collect

Our North London team is based in Enfield. See selling your car in Enfield for local details, or the full list of areas we cover. Collections are free and we can come at the weekend.
