Selling your car can be a great struggle. There are so many things you need to consider that it can get quite frustrating and confusing at times. Although, there are no shortcuts when it comes to getting rid of your unwanted vehicle, the process can be made easier with a few simple steps.
Back in the day, your only option was to sell privately. You can still do that today; however, it’s time-consuming, stressful and there’s no guarantee that anyone will buy your vehicle.
Fortunately for you, services such as ours exist, to make your life much easier. We buy vehicles from people on a daily basis, whilst making the process as easy and hassle-free as possible.
Selling privately vs selling to a car buying service
When selling your car privately, you have to do all the hard work yourself. There’s no way around it, meaning you can spend weeks, if not months, trying to get rid of your car.
First you need to find a trustworthy website, where you can advertise the car, which can be a struggle in itself. There are so many scam artists out there, that finding somewhere reliable is often impossible.
Most of the big services that allow you to advertise your car require you to pay them quite a large sum of money, meaning you’re not getting the most for your vehicle.
Once your advert is live, it can take anywhere from a week to a month, for anyone interested in the vehicle, to contact you to arrange a viewing. It’s not very safe, as there’s really no telling who is hiding behind the screen.
When selling your car to a car buying service, on the other hand, you know that you’ll be meeting in a safe environment, where you’ll be able to get rid of your car the very same time you bring it in.
On top of that, most of the time, you can even arrange a meeting the same day you decide to sell your car, so you’re saving yourself a lot of time.
Because, most car buying services are well-established, you can read their online reviews, and see what other people have to say about them. This allows you to choose the right services for you, and guarantees that you won’t be disappointed.
What we offer at Trusted Car Buyers
At Trusted Car Buyers, we offer our customers the most for their unwanted vehicles. If you don’t believe us, you can see for yourself on our Feefo page, which currently holds a 98% positive rating. We don’t believe in dragging the process out; therefore, we can buy your vehicle off you, the very same day you bring it in for an appraisal.
The first thing you’ll need to do, is enter your reg number on our website. You will then be asked to provide us with more information about the car itself, such as its condition, mileage and history.
You will then be given an estimate based on the information you provide. Please remember that, this is merely an estimate and is subject to change following the appraisal. The more accurate you are in the description of your car, the more accurate it is going to be. Afterwards, you will be given a chance to book an appointment at one of our nearest branches. Due to the fact that we have branches all over the UK, you will likely find one that’s quite close to you. You can select a time that works for you and book in for the appraisal.
Once you arrive at the branch, you will likely be greeted by one of our team. They will offer you a drink that you can enjoy whilst they check all the papers to ensure everything is there. They will then appraise your vehicle, which can take from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the condition of the car. Everything will be checked, so please don’t try to hide any faults, as we will find them. After the vehicle is appraised, you will be given an offer. If you’re satisfied with it, we can buy your car there and then; however, in the unlikely situation you’re not happy with the price, we won’t force you to sign anything – you can just walk away.
Once you sign all the documentation, you will be asked how you want to get paid. Currently we have two payment options. If you don’t mind waiting up to 3 days, you can go with our standard payment option. Your payment will be processed the same day we purchase your vehicle; however, it won’t appear in your bank account for 3 or 4 days, depending on your bank. If you want to get paid the same day, we offer a same-day payment option, which we charge £49 for. It’s entirely up to you, so depending on what you choose, your payment will be with you within the agreed upon timeframe.
If you’re worried that we won’t pay you, there’s no need for that as you will be given documentation that proves you have sold your car to us, giving you peace of mind. On top of all that, we don’t charge any admin fees, which a lot of the other big car buying services do.
