Selling your car with Drive88 is straightforward and we have broken it down into 3 easy steps.
1. Request a Quote
The first step is simple鈥攖ell us all about your car and what sets it apart from the rest! Provide us with its make, model, age, mileage, and any other relevant information that will help us determine its value. We also want to know about anything that makes your car unique! Does it have an extended warranty or service plan? Once we have this information, we鈥檒l promptly get in touch to discuss the condition of your vehicle in more detail. Our goal is to offer you the most accurate and fair price possible based on the information you provide, even before we conduct an in-person inspection. We may well ask you for photos and videos of your car on watts app before we see it. We expect some fair wear and tear but we will need to be made aware of anything the car needs fixing or repairing before we can sell it ourselves. Our intention is of course not to talk about the price after this stage and for you to get what you expect when we arrive.
2. Book an Appointment
Once you’re happy with the initial quote, the next step is to schedule an appointment at a time that鈥檚 convenient for you. We鈥檒l arrange to inspect your car in person to confirm its condition. Our team will come to your location to appraise and collect your vehicle, and the best part? The collection service is completely free of charge, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you. To get to this stage we will need copies of the service history, a copy of the V5 (registration document) to prepare our accounts team (we are happy for you to blank out the document reference number) and an up to date settlement letter to clear your finance if needed.
3. Sell Your Car
Once the inspection is complete and everything is in order, we鈥檒l proceed with the sale. The best part is that you鈥檒l receive full payment before your car leaves your possession鈥攏o waiting around! We also believe in keeping things simple, which is why there are absolutely no hidden fees, admin costs, or payment charges. You get the full agreed amount with complete transparency and peace of mind. At this stage we will also complete the transfer of ownership with the DVLA. Please make sure that we do this on your behalf, as the car needs to be notified as being in the motor trade correctly. You will receive email confirmation before the car leaves this has been done. If your car has had finance settled it may of course take time to come off of finance registers but we can show you proof of payment.
