SHOULD I SELL MY CAR NOW OR IS THE MARKET ON THE WAY UP?
The only certainty in the motor industry at the moment is that it is volatile! The likely-hood is though, that your car will continue to depreciate as time goes on – running costs get higher as a car gets older and if you are considering selling your car for any reason – now is as good a time as any!
I HAVE LOST MY V5 (LOGBOOK) – 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, I NEED TO SELL MY CAR NOW, CAN I SELL IT?
Yes, you can sell your car, but legally, the finance company owns your car whilst there is outstanding finance owed, so the balance must be settled on or before the date of the sale.
You can do this in one of 2 ways;
- You can settle the outstanding balance directly with your finance company yourself - we will require written confirmation from them that they have received full, cleared payment when we collect your car
OR
- We can settle the finance for you, we will simply deduct the outstanding amount from the valuation of your car and pay it on your behalf (data protection laws require that you obtain the settlement figure) We need written confirmation from your finance company of the balance due.
NB - If you owe more than the sale price of your car, you will need to pay the balance prior to us collecting it. We will need written confirmation 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.
