The BIG Van and team member

What do I need to sell my car in an instant?

All you need to sell your car fast is your reg number, some photos and a few car details. When we come to collect, there are a couple of other bits we will need to complete the sale:

  • Your V5 logbook/registration certificate. This needs to be registered in the name of the current keeper.
  • Any service history/service books
  • Photo ID. E.g., drivers licence, passport.
  • A proof of address. E.g., a recent utility bill.
  • Car keys (including any spares).

We will also need the date of your car’s last MOT. If the current MOT runs out in under three months, we won’t be able to buy it.

Get the best price and a fast sale

No one likes hold-ups. To make sure your car sale is fast and gets you the best price, there are a few things you can do:

  • Be honest about any flaws your car has, and keep your mileage count within 500 miles of the actual count
  • Having a record of your car’s service history – whether it’s a logbook, receipts or digital records – is a huge advantage
  • Give your car a clean, inside and out, just so we can carry out a proper inspection without any delays

If your car’s condition is different to your description, we may need to change our offer. So, for a speedy sale with zero hiccups, follow the above as closely as you can.

Fast car sale FAQs

How can I sell my car fast?

To sell your car fast, choose BigWantsYourCar.com. Have your reg number, a few photos and some car details at the ready to get an offer that’s locked in for 24 hours. When you accept your offer, we’ll come and collect your car for free, sometimes as quickly as the next day.

How much will you pay me for my car?

The price we pay for your car depends on a few things like:

  • Make and model
  • Age
  • Mileage
  • Service history
  • Current supply and demand levels
  • The condition of the bodywork and interior

All of our offers are based on real-time market rates and have zero hidden costs. Once you accept our offer, we will collect your car at a time that suits you (sometimes this can be as soon as the next day!).

What car conditions do you buy?

We buy cars in a wide range of conditions, from average and good to excellent. Our guidelines give you a detailed breakdown, streamlining the process and keeping your car sale quick and simple.

What happens if my car doesn’t match the description I gave?

If your car doesn’t match the description you gave us, we may have to change our offer or withdraw it altogether. If we do change the price, you’ll have another 7 days to think things through. This will slow down the sale and could cause hold-ups, so try to be as accurate as you can!

How will I get paid for my car?

The payment process, whether you choose the free collection or drop off service, is super straightforward. Here’s what you can expect when we come to collect your car:

  • Our driver will arrive, give your door a quick knock, and follow up with a call to let you know they’re outside.
  • They’ll contact our admin team to double-check that everything matches with your car’s description.
  • One of our appraisers will then guide you through the payment process. Within 30 minutes, you’ll receive a secure payment link from NatWest in your email. Just follow the link to get your money.
  • Once you’ve confirmed the payment, our driver will be on their way with your car.

If you’re bringing your car to us instead, our team will go through the same steps – you will have the payment in your account before you leave!

Can you walk me through the entire car buying process step-by-step?

It’s a very simple process!

First things first – to get an offer, we just need some details about your car and a few quick photos. Once we’ve got those, one of our agents will reach out with a guaranteed 7-day offer.

If you’re happy with the offer, just let us know within those 7 days. We’ll arrange either a free pickup or a drop-off at one of our locations – whichever is easiest for you. We’ll also send you an email with simple instructions on any documents we’ll need ahead of time.

On pickup day, our driver will give you a call when they’re on their way, do a quick final check on the car, and explain the payment process. Now for the best bit: we’ll email over a secure

Natwest payment link within 30 minutes, and the driver will make sure the money is in your account before they drive off!

If you decide to drop off your car, our team will complete a final appraisal on-site and make sure you receive payment before you leave. Easy as that!

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.

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!

I have already filled out the evaluation form, what should I do next?

Great! The next step is to send us a few photos of your car. Once we have those and everything checks out, we’ll provide a guaranteed valuation that’s valid for a full 7 days.

If you’re happy with the offer, we’ll reach out to arrange a free pickup or a convenient drop-off – whichever works best for you!

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!

What details do you need to provide an initial valuation?

To get started, we just need your car’s registration number, mileage, and a few personal details to provide an estimated valuation. For a guaranteed offer, though, we’ll ask you to send a few photos of your car – that’s the best way to lock in your price so you can start thinking about how to spend it!

How long does inspection typically take?

Inspections are quick and easy, usually taking around 30 minutes. Sometimes it might take a tad longer, but we keep things hassle-free from start to finish – whether you’re opting for pickup or drop-off!

Are there any fees or charges I should be aware of?

Nope! Unlike others, we don’t charge any fees when you sell your car to us – it’s completely free from start to finish!

Can I sell my car here even if I don't buy a new one from you?

Absolutely! BigWantsYourCar.com is a purely online car-buying service. We’re just here to offer you a great price on your vehicle and hand over the money hassle-free.

Fill out our online valuation form to get started, and we’ll take it from there!
