Car Buying Valuation Checklist

Get the best price for your car in Croydon

Tired of lowball offers? We’ve got the tips to help you land the best deal for your Croydon car:

  • Accurate Description: Make sure your car and your description match. Be honest about any dents or scratches and keep the mileage accurate to within 500 miles.
  • Document Service History: Whether it’s a logbook with stamps, paper invoices, or a digital record, it can prove the maintenance history of your vehicle.
  • Presentation Matters: Clean your car from any mud or dirt. A tidy vehicle allows for a thorough inspection when we come to collect it.

Remember, if our inspection reveals any discrepancies from your description, the offer might be adjusted. But don’t worry, you’ll still have 7 days to decide if you accept your free car valuation.

Our buying preferences are always evolving, but just to give you a heads up, we’re not currently looking for commercial vehicles like taxis, vans, trucks, private hire vehicles, and pickups.

We also aren’t buying cars with a damage category status, so that means no Cat A, Cat B, Cat S, or Cat N cars.

The best way to find out if your car is for us is to complete a quick valuation, right here on our website!
