A valuation from people who actually buy cars
Your car deserves more than an instant quote
We assess your car against the market — its specification, mileage, history, condition and current buyer demand — before putting a figure on it.
- We look beyond the number plate. Specification, provenance and condition can materially change what a car is worth to us.
- We're on the buying side. The figure is based on the market we actually buy and sell in — not a generic lookup.
- A figure we can stand behind. We'd rather take a little longer than throw out an instant headline number.
Ask us to value your car
Give us the basics. We'll review the car properly before sending a considered market figure.
How it works
Quick to submit. Properly thought through.
The process is simple for you, but the valuation isn't simplistic.
Tell us what you have
Registration, mileage and your contact details give us enough to start assessing the car. Add photos and history on the next screen if you'd like.
We assess the actual car
We consider model, derivative, options, history, mileage, condition and where comparable cars are sitting in the market.
We send a considered figure
You receive a guide valuation from an actual buyer. If it works for both sides, we move on to inspection, payment and collection.
What goes into the figure
Two cars with the same badge and year can be worth very different money
That's why we don't reduce your car to registration + mileage and pretend the answer is complete.
Exact derivative & specification
Engine, trim, drivetrain, gearbox and meaningful factory options can change desirability significantly.
Mileage & ownership profile
We look at mileage in context rather than applying a flat deduction against an average.
Service history & provenance
Maintenance, invoices, number of keys, ownership history and evidence of care all matter.
Condition & preparation required
Tyres, bodywork, wheels, interior and known faults affect what the car is genuinely worth to a buyer.
Comparable market stock
We consider where similar cars are advertised and how your example sits among them.
Current buyer demand
Some combinations of model, age and specification are simply easier to place than others. That influences what we can sensibly pay.
“We know the market because we're the ones buying the cars.”
- Not an automated valuation engine. Your enquiry comes through to the buying side for review rather than ending with a computer-generated number.
- Not an auction of your details. We're assessing whether the car makes sense for us or our established buying network — not trying to create a bidding circus around you.
- Designed for cars where the details matter. Good specification, clean history and the right ownership profile should be seen, not ignored.
Cars we're particularly interested in
Desirable everyday cars, performance models and specialist stock
We don't need every car to be exotic. We're interested in vehicles that have a clear reason for the next buyer to want them — the right specification, low ownership, rare options, or simply healthy demand.
Questions
Straight answers
Why don't you give me an instant figure?
Because an instant figure usually has to simplify the car. We want to consider the exact model, specification, mileage, history, condition and current market position before giving you a number. The form is quick; the thinking happens on our side.
Is the first figure guaranteed?
It's a guide market valuation based on the information available to us. A final purchase figure depends on the car matching the description and any further information or inspection we agree with you.
Do I have to sell if I ask for a valuation?
No. There's no obligation. The purpose of the first valuation is to establish whether your expectations and our buying position are close enough to take the next step.
Can you buy a car with outstanding finance?
Potentially, yes. Where appropriate, outstanding finance can be dealt with as part of the purchase once the settlement position has been verified with the lender.
Do you only buy performance cars?
No. “Desirable” can mean the right engine, specification, history, body style, or simply a model that currently has healthy buyer demand. Send the car and we'll tell you whether it fits what we're looking for.
Will my details be passed round a network of traders?
No. Your enquiry comes to the buying side for review. We're assessing whether the car makes sense for us or our established buying network — not creating a bidding circus around you.
Can I send photos or more detail?
Yes, and it helps. After you submit the basics, you'll be able to add condition notes, service history and photos. The more we can see, the more confidently we can price it.
Want to know what we'd actually pay attention to?
Send us the car. We'll look at it like a buyer, not like a calculator.
