Four steps to sell your car privately to competing dealers. No public listings, no strangers, no fees. Here's exactly what happens.
We pull your car's details in seconds. Add a few photos and you're listed — no forms, no ID docs, no essays.
Getting dealer offers for your car starts with a simple registration lookup. Enter your number plate and we'll pull your vehicle details automatically.
Add your mileage, preferred contact method, and a few photos. We only collect what's essential to showcase your car to our dealer network.
Your personal information stays private throughout — dealers see only the vehicle details they need to make competitive offers.
Our team packages your listing so dealers take it seriously. Accurate specs, verified photos, honest condition notes.
A real person reviews every submission to ensure accuracy. We may reach out to clarify details about condition, service history, or special features.
We package your car's highlights in a format dealers trust — accurate specs, verified photos, and clear condition notes that attract serious offers.
This human touch means no spam, no lowball offers from unqualified buyers — just genuine interest from dealers ready to buy.
Pre-screened dealers bid on your car behind closed doors. They see the vehicle, never your name or number.
We invite verified dealers from our network to bid on your car. Each dealer is pre-screened for reliability, fair pricing, and professional conduct.
You stay completely anonymous during bidding. Dealers see your car, not your contact details — preventing unwanted calls and pressure tactics.
The competitive bidding format typically results in better offers than single-dealer quotes, as dealers compete to win your business.
Compare offers side by side — price, dealer rating, collection date. Or decline them all. Zero fees, zero obligation.
Review all offers in one place with clear breakdowns — offer amount, dealer rating, collection timeline, and payment terms.
Accept the offer that works for you. We coordinate all paperwork, vehicle handover, and secure payment transfer.
Changed your mind? Walk away at any point before handover with no fees, no penalties, and no obligations. Your car stays yours.
