What we buy

If it's a problem, it's our problem

FAQ

Questions, answered

How quickly will I get an offer?
Usually within the hour during opening times. Send the reg, mileage and a description of the fault and we'll come back by phone, text or WhatsApp.
Do you really collect for free?
Yes. Collection is free anywhere in mainland UK, including non-runners that need winching onto a truck.
When do I get paid?
Payment is made before the car is loaded — bank transfer while our driver is with you.
The price won't change on the day, will it?
Not if the car matches what you told us. That's why we ask for honest details and photos up front.
What paperwork do I need?
Ideally the V5C logbook and any keys. No V5C? We can still buy it with proof of ownership and ID.
Can you buy a car with outstanding finance?
Often yes. Tell us the settlement figure and lender and we'll work it into the offer.
