You can also sell a vehicle on behalf of a family member, friend or company (including in the case of bereavement). In these circumstances, it is necessary to bring extra documentation.
If your old car does not have a valid MOT, or is SORN (or a non-runner), we can still buy your car, but you will need to arrange for it to be transported to the branch ahead of your appointment.
Please visit our Frequently asked questions for more detailed information.
By default, payment will be made directly to your bank account within 4 working days after the day of the sale, using our standard electronic bank transfer service. There is no charge for this service.
We also offer a next working day payment service for an additional fee of £24.75 - and an Immediate Payment option (clearing within 15 minutes) to selected customers for an additional fee of £29.75. (We do not charge a next or same-day fee when we are offering to buy your car for less than £500.)

There are numerous channels where you can sell your car, including:
- Selling to a dealership: If you want to sell your car fast and aren’t too concerned about price, selling through your local dealership could be a great option.
- Selling to a car buying service: If you sell your car to webuyanycar, you’ll benefit from a guaranteed sale, fair pricing based on current market data, and quick payment by bank transfer.
- Selling privately: You could get a great price selling privately, if you’re prepared to spend more time marketing your motor and meeting viewers.
