Where Can I Sell My Used Car?

If you are thinking about selling your car, there are a number of ways to do it. In this article, we provide an overview of the various ways in which you can sell your car to help you choose the best route for you.

How should I sell my used car?

Private sale

One method of selling your vehicle is to create your own posts on advertising platforms and sell privately. This will involve preparation of your car and uploading pictures and a description to your chosen website or app to interest anyone looking for a used car for sale. You will then need to arrange viewings and haggle the price with potential buyers.

Online car buyers

A quicker method is to sell online to an online car buying company. With your vehicle registration number and a few additional details, online car buyers will be able to generate a car valuation. If you are happy with the amount, you will typically be asked to deliver your vehicle to a drop-off location at a time that suits you, where it will be inspected before the money is deposited in your account.

Local dealerships

The process is generally very similar when you sell to a local dealer. You will either be able to apply for a vehicle valuation online or get a quote at the dealership. As long as you are happy with the offer, you can arrange a time to drop off your car at the dealership and receive the money for your motor. 

Part exchange

An advantage of selling with a local dealer is that you can usually part exchange your vehicle. This means that the money from the sale of your car can be directly applied to the purchase of any model that the dealer has available. This will not only make the vehicle you wish to buy more affordable, but it also means that you will be able to drive your old car to the dealership and drive back in your new one, which is much more convenient than having to arrange another route back home after dropping off your car after it has been sold.
