Your decision
Help dealers make their best offer.
The clearer and more accurate your listing is, the easier it is for approved dealers to value your vehicle confidently before seeing it in person.
Photograph every angle
Show the front, rear, both sides, interior and wheels in good lighting. Clear photographs help dealers understand the vehicle before making an offer.
Show the vehicle clearly
Upload a dashboard photograph with the engine running, plus clear photographs of warning lights, bodywork damage or areas needing repair.
Add useful vehicle history
Provide the correct mileage, number of service stamps or digital service records, and details of any outstanding finance.
Your vehicle is shown - not your private details.
Approved dealers need enough information to assess your vehicle and make a considered offer. Your personal contact details remain private during bidding.
- Registration number
- Make and model
- Mileage
- Uploaded photographs
- MOT information
- Vehicle condition
Keep personal information out of photographs.
Your name, telephone number, email address and home address remain private while dealers make offers.
Before uploading, check that photographs do not show paperwork, identification, address labels, house numbers, people or other unnecessary personal information.
Set an Accept Now price - or wait.
After submitting your listing, you can add an optional price at which you would be prepared to sell before the offer period closes.
- Setting an Accept Now price is optional
- You can wait until the scheduled closing time
- Your vehicle is not sold until you confirm an offer
From accepted offer to completed sale.
We make the next steps clear and put you directly in touch with the successful dealer.
Speak with your dealer
A private conversation opens and you can view their verified business and contact details.
Arrange the inspection
Agree a suitable date, time and location for the dealer to inspect and collect the car.
Receive payment directly from the dealer
The dealer pays the agreed purchase price directly to you. Check that the full cleared payment is visible in your bank account before releasing the vehicle, keys or paperwork.
Confirm the outcome and review your dealer
After the appointment, mark the vehicle as Sold, Sold at revised price or No Deal. You can then leave an honest review of your experience. If the sale does not proceed, you may be able to relist your vehicle for another offer period.
A safe handover
Check the payment yourself.
The vehicle purchase money is paid directly by the dealer. Do not rely on screenshots or payment confirmations – check that the full cleared amount is visible in your own bank account before handing over the vehicle.
