What documents will I need to bring?

When it comes to selling your car to us, our advisors will need you to provide some further information and documentation including: Your Driving Licence A bank statement, this needs to be from the last three months, addressed to your name and your current home address. Vehicle Registration V5 document Service history records (if applicable) Valid finance settlement letter, showing the final settlement figure and finance company bank details (if applicable) All keys - including spares Any accessories related to use of the vehicle, e.g. user manuals, locking wheel nut key, etc.

I've lost my V5 registration document, will you still buy my car?

Unfortunately we are not able to purchase any car without the original V5 document. If you don't have one or have lost it you can obtain a replacement from the DVLA.

I have outstanding finance on my car, can you still buy it?

Yes, we can arrange to settle your current agreement, our advisors will be able to guide you through this process at your appointment and the settlement figure will be deducted from the amount we pay you for the car.

How do you work out the value?

Our tool here on our website references a CAP HPI vehicle database to compare the information you tell us about your car with the values of all other cars on the market to return a true market value. Once you bring your car to us we will check the details that affect the valuation price including mileage, vehicle condition, etc.

Can I sell on behalf of someone who has passed away?

Yes, you can sell the vehicle on behalf of someone who has passed away, but there are different types of documentation required depending on your individual circumstances.
