Every car here comes straight from its owner. Take your time to inspect it, ask them what you need to know, and pay them directly once you’re satisfied.
Buying the way you’d want to buy: inspect it properly, talk to the owner, pay them direct.
The car is on the seller’s drive when you arrive – cold, in daylight, at a time you agreed. Take your time. If something genuinely undisclosed affects its value, propose a revised price before any money changes hands.
Receipt for the timing belt? Thermostat ever changed? Once a collection day is agreed you deal with the person who actually drove it, and you get real answers.
No part-exchange, no block, no gaps in the story. The car comes straight from its keeper, with the registration and MOT history on the listing before you bid.
Once your bid is accepted you send the seller three dates that suit you for viewing, payment and collection. The handover fits around your working week, not a lane slot.
Selling privately – on the public listing sites or to whoever turns up – means strangers at the door, no-shows and haggling. The owners here would rather have one straightforward, guided sale to the trade: a buyer we’ve vetted, a clear process, paid at collection. They made that choice before you bid, so they’re ready to complete.
Where a seller has set an asking price, you can offer it in full rather than wait for the round to close. Bidding pauses while they confirm, and you’ll know the moment a price is set on a car you’re watching.
Tell us the makes, mileage, years and price range you buy. We email you the cars that match, as a daily list or the moment one goes live. You stop trawling and the right stock finds you.
No subscription, no entry fee, no obligation to bid. One platform commission when you buy a car – and you see it before you bid.
Register as a dealer in five minutes. We’ll verify your business, then you’ll see every car before the round opens.
