Part-exchange

Know what your car is worth.

Start with your registration. We pull the MOT and mileage record straight from the DVSA, so there are fewer questions and the figure is grounded in real data.

The figure stands

If the car turns up as you described it, the figure we gave you is the figure you get.

Valuations are a guide based on the information provided and the DVSA record. A firm offer is confirmed once we’ve seen the car.

Three steps

About a minute

  1. Give us the registration, we’ll confirm the car and its MOT automatically.

  2. Answer a few short questions about condition, history and any finance owing.

  3. We come back to you with a figure, however you prefer to be contacted.

Eleven quick things

Honest answers get you an accurate figure, and stop it changing when we see the car.

  • Registration
  • Mileage
  • Keys
  • Service history
  • Last service
  • MOT expiry
  • Warning lights
  • Dents & scratches
  • Wheels & tyres
  • Interior marks
  • Outstanding finance

MOT expiry is filled in for you from your registration, one less thing to dig out.

The settlement, plainly

Most cars offered to us in part-exchange still have finance running. It does not stop you changing car. It just has to be settled as part of the deal.

How settlement works
Your finance company gives you, or us, with your permission, the exact amount that clears the agreement today. Usually valid about ten days. It is paid out of the deal, so the old agreement closes properly and you never juggle two.
Equity
Worth more than the settlement? The difference is yours, and it works exactly like a deposit on the next car.
Negative equity
Settlement higher than the car is worth? It does not end the deal. The shortfall is covered directly, or, subject to the lender agreeing, inside the new agreement. You see both numbers side by side first.
What to bring
The settlement figure, or the finance company’s details so we can request it. Plus the V5C, service history and both keys if you have them.

No obligation. A figure is a figure: use it against any car in our stock, sell the car to us outright, or walk away.
