- Paperwork on usDeregistration and re-registration are done by us in a single visit.
What trade-in is and who it suits
Trade-in is an exchange: you hand your car to the dealer, its value counts towards the price of another car, and you pay only the difference. It helps when you would rather not spend months showing the car to strangers, haggling and risking a cash handover. Instead — one visit, one contract and a clear amount to pay.
How the exchange works
From the request to the keys of the new car usually takes one or two days.
- You leave a request and tell us what you drive and what you want.
- We inspect the car and quote its trade value.
- We pick a car from stock and calculate the difference.
- We sign the contract, re-register both cars, and you drive away in the new one.
Why trade-in beats selling privately
Selling privately looks more profitable until you count the time and the risks.
- No paid listings, no washing the car for every viewing, no calls from resellers.
- No risk of counterfeit cash or fraud during re-registration.
- The car is not sitting idle losing value while you wait for a buyer.
How much will I get for my car
The trade value is the price we are ready to take the car for today, given that reconditioning, warranty and resale are on us. It depends on the model, year, mileage, body and engine condition, options and demand for that car. We do not inflate the figure on the phone only to revise it at the inspection: the amount we quote is the amount we sign for.
Frequently asked questions
Can I trade in a car that is still on finance?
Yes, we do such deals. Mention it when you apply — together with the bank we settle the balance and include it in the calculation.
What if my car is worth more than the one I am taking?
Then we pay you the difference. That happens when people move from a large car to a compact one.
Should I repair the car before the exchange?
No. Minor faults are factored into the valuation — repairing before the deal rarely pays off.
How long does re-registration take?
Usually a single visit: the documents for both cars are prepared in parallel.
What if I only want to sell, not buy?
Then our car buying service fits: we value the car, come to you and pay on the day of the deal.
