FAQ
Common questions
Is there any obligation?+
None. Submitting your car and receiving a private offer costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
How discreet is the process?+
Completely. There is no public listing at any stage, and your enquiry is handled privately from first contact to completion.
Will my details be passed to dealers?+
Not while a dealer is bidding. Every alert we send while your car is with the trade carries no name, number or email, so you deal with one person here rather than a queue of dealers ringing you. If a dealer's offer is the one that goes ahead, we then put you in touch, sharing your name, phone number and the area for collection, so they can collect the car and pay you directly.
What kind of cars do you work with?+
Prestige, performance, classic, collector, luxury and other high-value or specialist cars. Not sure yours fits? Ask anyway.
What if my car is on finance?+
Not a problem. Tell us up front and we settle it directly with your lender as part of completion, paying the balance to you.
When and how am I paid?+
Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. You keep the car, keys and V5C until you have been paid.
Will the offer change when you collect the car?+
The price holds if the vehicle is as described. Any change is explained first, and you can say no. It changes only if the car differs from what you told us. The inspection confirms the car is as you described it; it is not used to chip the price down.
How quickly can it complete?+
We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready. It can take longer if there is more to verify; we will tell you about timing up front.
