for a better price than part exchange or selling direct. Motorway works with a network of more than 4000 dealers nationwide. Simply enter your car's reg, then profile your car. The firm will then enter your vehicle into a daily sale where dealers compete to buy your car for the best price. You can then proceed with the highest offer it finds.As a rule, you will get more for your car by selling it privately.
You need to be sure of your car’s value, then set the auction up accordingly; include a reserve price if there's a minimum amount you're willing to accept. And bear in mind that the fee you pay to the auction company when your car sells will cut into the amount of money you'll make.Selling your car to a professional online buyer is a quick and easy alternative to selling privately or at a dealer, but you probably won’t get the best price.
However, there are other reasons why selling online may suit. If your car has a high mileage, is in less-than-perfect condition or is simply getting on a bit, you may struggle to find private buyers or dealers who are interested. Online buyers tend to be less judgmental and just value the car as they see fit.
Make sure you know the real market value of your car, and don’t let an online buyer fob you off with a drastically lower valuation when they actually see the car; they're well used to desperate sellers who are willing to accept less for their car at the last minute in order to get rid of it. If this happens, or they start adding on extra charges, it's time to walk away.Rather than simply scrap a low-value used car, you could donate it to charity instead.
