Get the best price for your car in Derby

Tired of lowball offers? Here’s how to lock in the best price for your car in Derby:

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 still have 7 days to decide if you accept it.

FAQs

What does the inspection process involve?

Don’t worry – we keep things simple! We’ll go through a standard checklist to make sure your car matches the details you provided. This includes a quick diagnostics check with an OBD reader and a short test drive to confirm everything’s running smoothly before we go ahead with the handover.

What payment methods do you offer?

Once you’ve confirmed the sale and we’ve completed the final appraisal, we’ll make it official! Payment goes directly to your bank account through a secure NatWest payment link.

We’ll send that link to your email right after the appraisal, so you can confirm it’s in your bank account before our driver leaves with your car.

How do you determine the value of a car?

We base your car’s value on live market data, which means valuations can change daily. To lock in your best offer, send us a few photos so we can give you a guaranteed valuation that’s fixed for 7 days. This way, you have time to think things over without missing out on an unbeatable offer!

Are there any types of vehicles you do not purchase?

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!
