Your vehicle details

Your contact details

Steps

  1. Give us the registration number, the mileage and the year, along with photos of both sides, the front, the rear and the odometer. Tell us what is not right as well.

  2. You get a concrete amount with an explanation of how we got there. The offer is subject to seeing the vehicle itself.

  3. If you buy from us, the trade-in value comes off the price. If you buy nothing, we purchase your vehicle outright and the money is in your account once the transfer paperwork is done.

Outstanding finance or negative equity?

If there is still finance or a lease on your vehicle, you can usually still trade it in. We pay off the finance using the current settlement figure from your finance company. Anything left over is paid out to you, and if the debt is higher we work the difference into the amount you pay.

FAQ

What is my car worth?

That depends on model, year, mileage, service history and condition, and on demand for the model. From your photos and details we give you a range, and a fixed figure once we have seen the car.

Would I get more selling my car myself?

You only know that afterwards, because then you do everything yourself: listing, viewings, negotiating and the transfer, with the risk of not being paid on top. If you want the highest proceeds without that work, choose consignment through us: sold at the market price, commission only once it sells. If you want it settled today, trading in is the fastest route.

How long does your offer stay valid?

Our offer is a snapshot of the market and applies to the condition and mileage you told us. Decide quickly and the offer stands as given; if you wait longer or something about the vehicle changes, we will look at it again.

Should I have my car detailed before trading it in?

Clean is enough. A washed car with an empty interior is easier to assess and gives a cared-for impression. An expensive detail does not pay for itself, because we prepare every vehicle for sale ourselves.

Can I trade two cars against one?

You can. We value both cars separately and add the amounts together, and the total comes off the price of your new car. Send us the details and photos for both.

Can I trade in without buying another car straight away?

Yes. We also buy your car outright, with nothing bought back. We handle the vrijwaring and the RDW transfer the same day.

Curious what your car is worth?

Send us the registration, the mileage and a few photos, and you will have a free, no-obligation offer within 24 hours.
