Before you begin
A few useful answers.
01Do you buy cars outside the UK?
Yes. MotorSignet considers suitable cars worldwide, including cars in Europe and the Middle East. Tell us the current location, registration status and asking price; we assess what is practical before agreeing a purchase.
02Do you consider cars in Dubai and the Middle East?
Yes. We consider suitable cars in the UAE, including Dubai, and in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Share the car's location, registration status and asking price so we can assess the practical arrangements.
03Can you travel to see my car?
Yes. For a suitable car, we can discuss travelling to the seller from our Mayfair, London base. We review the details first and agree any visit according to the car, its location and the practical arrangements.
04What makes a car suitable for MotorSignet?
A special model, specification, history or provenance within our performance, prestige, classic and collector buying categories. We assess the actual car, condition, documentation and asking price. A familiar badge alone does not determine the decision.
05Do you consider other hypercars and special editions?
Yes. Cars such as the Koenigsegg Regera, Lamborghini Sián and McLaren Speedtail can also be submitted for review. Tell us the exact version, original market specification, history, current location and asking price. Each car is assessed individually, including any modifications and the practical arrangements for an overseas purchase.
06Do you buy both left- and right-hand-drive cars?
Yes. Both can be considered. Steering position is assessed alongside the exact model, condition, history, documentation and location.
07What if the car has no UK registration?
An overseas registration, VIN or chassis number is enough to start the enquiry. Choose the overseas or unregistered route and include the car's location. Shorter chassis numbers on older cars are accepted.
08Can I give my asking price in another currency?
Yes. The international form lets you select your asking-price currency and enter the odometer in miles or kilometres. We review the figures as submitted and discuss the purchase terms with you.
09How are payment, transport and the purchase timetable agreed?
Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. Collection and overseas timing are agreed with you before proceeding. The assessment includes the asking price, transport and total cost of bringing the car to the UK. Collection is arranged wherever practical.
10Who would buy my car?
MotorSignet buys suitable cars directly. We also consider offers from dealers we work with. If a dealer's offer goes ahead, that dealer arranges collection and pays you. There are no fees to you for submitting your car, and no obligation to accept an offer.
