We buy any Car? Fact or Fiction?
LG Car Sales has been going for almost thirty years now and the motor trade has seen a great many changes. One part that has remained constant is the need to find stock. The past 18 months have provided a unique set of challenges to the trade as well as testing the nation as a whole.
Looking to sell your car?
LG Car Sales have been selling used cars since it's inception but people don't necessarily know that we buy used cars too. The term 'We buy any car' is in reality a misnomer. It's based on the presumption that the customer will accept whatever price given for their vehicle and that it meets a certain quality criteria.
It sounds easy enough; find a valuation website, pop your registration and mileage in and be impressed by the figure. The truth is it's a little more complicated. The condition of the car is paramount and service history is crucial too. Add to this you run the risk of the spam lottery by entering your email and phone number into a system disigned to pressure customers into making decisions.
Sell your car to LG Car Sales
At LG Car Sales, a family run business, we work a little differently. We feel we owe our customers a more personalised touch. We encourage people to give us a call on 01353862999 so we can take the details needed. Customers are encouraged to pop by and show their vehicles too - there is no more accurate way of valuing a car than being able to see it and touch it. For the local community we can also travel to see the car and evaluate it on your driveway or roadside.
We do also understand that calling us might not be practical so we do have a form on our website which leads to a one and done conversation about selling your vehicle. We believe in a total no pressure service so once you have received our valuation you will not hear from us unless you contact us again.
We are aware of some practices where the online figure given for a vehicle is one thing and the actual figure offered is much less. We strive to make sure this is not the case. All our valuations are made using market guidelines, valuation tools and a healthy dose of human common sense. Unlike other business' there is a human involved with every part of the process at LG Car Sales.
3 most important factors that effect your car's value
Sometimes getting a few extra details can really save a bit of time and a lot of hassle when getting a car valuation. It's much better to have a litte discourse or back and fourth about things rather than travel straight to the place to only then find out they offer half the price they said they would.
1. Mileage is king as the old trade saying used to go. Less miles, always means higher value.
2. Condition. Being honest with the cars condition is critical. Can a 14 year old 160,000 mile car ever be 'mint condition?' Reasonable expections help manage the situation and 'good condition' cars are almost always worth more.
3. Service history. It does pay to look after your car. Service histroy is a good indication of the care taken with that particular motor vehicle.
