How To Sell Your Car Fast, Easily And For Free Online

Why do we accept bad offers on our cars when there is a huge market for used cars in the UK?

According to Motorway’s research, two-thirds of UK motorists simply accept the fact that they will lose money when selling their car.

It doesn’t need to be difficult or long to find the best price with a dealer who is verified.

When you sell your car on Motorway, you can get the best price in 24 hours. You can do this from your mobile phone.

Are you sure of the value of your car?

Motorway provides instant, free, valuations on its website, based upon live sales data. This means that the valuation is based on all sales and bids for similar cars.

You can see the value of your car by creating a free account and entering your registration number and mileage. It’s worth checking, as more than half of UK motorists believe that their car depreciates in value.

You can use the Car Value Tracker to track your car’s changing value over time.

You can create a free online account, enter your registration and mileage and see historical valuations of your vehicle on a graph over the past two years. This will help you understand if your car’s value is increasing, decreasing or staying the same.

Motorway’s Car Value Tracker allows you to see not only what your car’s value is, but also how it changes over time. This helps you plan for selling at the best price.

How to sell a car at the right time?

What does it mean to sell your car at the right time?

Some people sell their car when they no longer need it. This could be a family vehicle after the children leave home or a runabout due to a move house or a change in lifestyle.

Others may decide to sell their car when they have positive equity and make some money, instead of following their lender’s suggestions for a balloon payment or trade-in.

It’s difficult to accurately predict car values unless you get a reliable or accurate valuation from a trusted source. To sell your car at the right time, you should check your valuation to make sure you get good value for your vehicle and that you can sell it at a high price.

The timing of this will vary from vehicle to vehicle. For some, it may be three or four year old when the value has stabilized after an initial decline. Some cars will sell well at 6 or 7 years old, if they are in good shape and have low mileage.

What factors affect the value of your car?

Your car’s condition, age, and mileage are all important factors that will affect the price you can get for it. You might not be aware that a few cost-effective upgrades could increase the value of your car:

Interior

Your car will feel more new and pristine if you keep your soft furnishings clean and smelling fresh. Replace cheaper elements, such as floor mats and make any necessary repairs to leatherwork.

Exterior

Repairing small scratches and dents can help preserve the value of your car. Even if the damage is normal wear and tear the more you can make your car look like new, the more it will stand out among other cars with the same mileage and age.

Service History

Maintaining your car and fixing minor faults or wear and tear to prevent larger problems will help you maintain its value compared to other models. You should keep a record of all your service records to show that you have taken care of your car. This will give your buyer more confidence in its value.

Clean Air Zone compliance

You can’t change the fuel type or engine rating of your car, but selling it to a network of dealers across the country will help you secure a higher price for your car, even if you don’t live in a CAZ like Greater London’s ULEZ. Compliance can affect your costs of running, as well as your road tax bands (which will change in 2025). It’s important to avoid being stuck with local prices when you have the option to sell nationwide.

What is the Motorway system?

You can sell your vehicle online with Motorway and enjoy a fully online experience.

Motorway app’s photo assistant allows you to take professional-quality photos.

The Motorway app is available in the App Store or Google Play Store. Instead of writing a long description like you would do on a classifieds website, you can simply answer questions about the spec and condition of your car and upload photos.

Your car or van will be able to enter the online daily sales, which run almost every day. Motorway’s 5,000+ dealers can make the best offer for your vehicle once it is listed in the online daily sale. Motorway will notify you of the highest offer for your car at the end the online daily sales.

After you accept the best offer from your buyer, it’s time to arrange a free home collection. Your buyer will visit your home or office on a day that is pre-arranged. Your buyer will inspect your vehicle, pay directly into your account (and, if necessary, clear any finance balances with your lender) and drive away the car.
