WILL YOU BUY MY CAR?

For us to be able to buy your car, we must have the V5 (logbook). If you have mislaid it, but the car is registered in your name, DVLA have an express service option, or you can complete and return a V62 form - obtainable from the post office or online from this link www.direct.gov.uk.

I HAVE OUTSTANDING FINANCE - WHAT SHOULD I DO?

You have two options;

• We can settle the finance for you, we will simply deduct the outstanding amount from the valuation of your car and pay on your behalf - data protection laws require that you obtain the settlement figure - and we need written confirmation from your finance company.
• Settle your finance directly with your finance company - we will require written confirmation from them that they have received full, cleared payment when we collect your car.

NB - If you owe more than the sale price of your car, you will need to pay the balance prior to us collecting the car. We will require written confirmation of this from your finance company when we collect your car. Alternatively you can pay us the difference in the form of a Bankers draft made payable to the finance company.

 MY CAR IS AN IMPORT - WILL YOU BUY MY CAR?

We will base our quote on your specific car, often, imported cars have different specifications to UK models and may differ in value. We are not afraid to buy imported cars - call us and we will discuss your particular car with you.
There are two types of import; "parallel" imports are cars purchased within the EU, which may have minor differences to that of a UK car or "grey" imports - purchased outside the EU, these cars require a different approach to valuation. Please specify the type of import when you contact us (details are specified on the V5 Registration document).
