£399 inc VAT

This is a fixed price charge if you live within 1hr of one of our photographers and it covers our costs of:

.

• Taking professional photography of your vehicle with over 200+ images and 1hr of video*;
• Producing the most detailed & transparent listings in the industry;
• Marketing to our own buyer base of over 72k people;
• Advertising your car for one month on other top sites, e.g. eBay, Facebook and Pistonheads;
• Speaking to the majority of buyers on your behalf so you don’t have to;
• Managing the sale agreement and collection / delivery of the vehicle.

.

There are no seller commissions - we simply charge 6% + VAT premium on top of the price we agree back to you - this premium is amongst the lowest in the industry when compared to other 'sale-or-return' type services. 

A few things  - but first let's talk about your top options to sell your car - these include:

.

1. To sell privately via a classified service such as eBay, Pistonheads or AutoTrader;
2. Or contact one of the hundreds of car buying services, e.g. WeBuyAndCar / Cinch etc;
3. Or maybe negotiate a 'sale-or-return' type of deal with a specialist or main dealer.

.

All the above routes has pros and cons - one big disadvantage is that all three, in most cases, will return you far less money, particularly #2 as these target sellers that need to raise the money immediately, so naturally they will offer far less money than you may be able to achieve via options #1 or #3.

.

However, #1 and #3 are all a big hassle - negotiating with dealers, unsure what a 'good deal' is and let alone having to speak to tyre kickers, dreamers and scammers that may be after your vehicle or identity.

.

We're a totally different type of service - think of us as a premium online marketplace that creates the most amount of trust delivered by our established business that provides the most thorough and transparent listings in the industry - this means the number of potential buyers has just skyrocketed, as anyone around the UK will now have the confidence to buy your car right from their sofa.  We've been operating since 2017 and have sold over £20m worth of cars with great reviews - all of which puts confidence in buyers minds too.

.

And the best thing, we do absolutely everything and the car stays safely with you.

Yes that's right - our marketplace is all about trust and transparency backed up with the most thorough listings in the industry - this means buyers can make confident decisions from the comfort of their own sofas.

.

Also, remember we just charge a 6% + VAT premium on top of the price we agree back to you (there's no seller commissions charged to you) - this premium is amongst the lowest in the industry too.  Main dealers or 'sale-or-return' type services typically charge between 10-20% sellers' commission - this means a lot less money back to you via those older sales routes.

.

Also, some more good news, we cap our 6% + VAT premium for cars priced at £70,000 and over.  The premium on a £70,000 car is £5,040 inc. VAT, so even if the car's price is £150,000, then the same capped £5,040 premium is charged.

A small commission on top  - the £399 fee you pay upfront just about covers the majority of our costs to bring your car to market, however, our aim is to sell your car and when we do then we charge just 6% + VAT premium on top of the price we agree back to you (there's no seller commissions charged to you) - this premium is amongst the lowest in the industry.

.

So let's take an example, say you have a 2015 Porsche 911 and we agree a price back to you of £50,000 - then the advertised price that the buyer will see / pay will be £53,600 including the 6%+ VAT premium.  The buyer will send us our fee of £3,600, which will also act as a deposit for the car, then they will send you electronically the balance of £50,000, after which you can release the car.  We are in the middle making sure it all goes smoothly.

.

Also, some more good news, we cap our 6% + VAT premium for cars priced at £70,000 and over.  The premium on a £70,000 car is £5,040 inc. VAT, so even if the car's price is £150,000, then the same capped £5,040 premium is charged to the buyer - this is split further later considering the VAT we pay, as £4,200 is ours and £840 we pay in VAT to HMRC.

.

In most cases the total cost to the buyer will still be a lot less than buying an equivalent vehicle from a specialist or main dealer - so more money not only in your pocket as a seller, but also our buyers get a great deal too - win/win. 

Not necessarily - the first step is for you to submit your classic or modern performance car for valuation via the form on this page.

.

We will then review the car and provide you with an accurate market valuation - we may need to speak to you to discuss the condition and history of the vehicle.

.

During the valuation process we may then offer to handle the sale of the vehicle on your behalf - we will talk you though this process to make sure it's the right decision for both of us.

.

Ultimately we are interested in agreeing good quality and fresh-to-market vehicles from genuine sellers, that will appeal to buyers.

We take this process very seriously, to start off with we begin by understanding your vehicle, for example factory options, condition and mileage. Once we have this information then we analyse the market to gauge your vehicle against recent sales and talk to our team of professionals to estimate any remedial work required.

.

We will put together a considered valuation of where your car sits in the market - but rest assured, this will be more than most car buying services, or the likely return from you advertising it privately yourself.

.

Once we've agreed the price you want back for the car, then we create the Advertised Price which includes our 6% + VAT commission (7.2% inc. VAT total).  So let's say you have a 2015 Porsche 911 and we agree a price back to you of £60,000 - then advertised price the seller will pay will be £64,320.

Yes - it's not unusual to have outstanding finance on a vehicle, when this happens we state this clearly on the listing and confirm with you that this will be cleared in full before the sale is completed.

You have a couple of options:

.

We can either remove the car from our classified marketplace and all the associated advertising across the Internet - you are then free to advertise / sell the vehicle for yourself. Don't worry as there is no further tie-in - just give us one day's notice if you want us to remove the car from our marketplace and cancel all advertising.

.

Or we can continue to list the car at no charge on our own site with no time limit - some cars with a lower buyer pool may take a little longer to sell.  However, if you want us to externally advertise the car again on all the top UK platforms, then we can do this at cost price for you.

28 days exclusivity - once your car is live on our marketplace then we just ask for 28 days exclusivity, i.e. a maximum of one month to try our very best to sell your car.  During this time we ask that the car is only available for sale with us and it's not advertised anywhere else, or with any other service. 

The car always stays with you - we come out and take all the professional photos of your vehicle with over 200+ images and 1hr of video.

.

We produce the most detailed & transparent listings in the industry - no one goes to the lengths we do.  This gives buyers confidence in the sale meaning 90% of cars we sell don’t have viewings; meaning the cars don't need to be in one central location.

We just ask for a contribution towards the photography and production of the listing from our sellers.

.

We charge this at cost price and will work it out based on your location.  Typically if you live within an hour of one of our photographers then this will be £399 inc VAT.  This will not only cover the cost of the photographer, but also the production person that will edit your images / videos and write the listing, and also one month of marketing across the Internet on all the top sites.

.

Professional photography is very important to showcase your car to the best of its potential resulting in higher returns to you.

Maybe - however, we usually only agree fresh to market cars that have not been widely advertised anywhere else.  This is because the price has already been set and makes achieving a higher price more difficult.

.

Also buyers may be put off seeing the car not sell by one process and then appear for sale within another.

.

However, please submit your car and we're review the suitability.

The security and safety of our community is our top priority.

.

Before a person is allowed to contact you or request a viewing, then they must submit a credit or debit card for us to validate and also have a phone conversation with us about pricing.  We also need to see proof of their ID and a recent utility bill matching their address.

Our terms and conditions are very straightforward.

.

For example, the sale is between the buyer (person or company buying the car) and you (the seller).  We are a marketplace that sits between the two of you facilitating the sale.  The car is sold on a 'Sold as Seen' basis with no additional warranties given.  Essentially it's a private sale - we are in the middle making sure it all goes through smoothly and take a 6% + VAT fee from the buyer for all our work.

.

Honesty and transparency are important to us so we don't have anything unusual in our terms and conditions - we do ask you to give us exclusivity during the sale period, i.e. you don't advertise it anywhere else.  This is to protect us as it takes a lot of time and money in advertising to complete a sale.  It also makes sure we get the most money back for you - duplicate sales can confuse buyers.
