Sell your car for cash
There are many ways to sell your car, from private car selling websites like Auto Trader and eBay, to franchised car dealerships specialising in specific brands. There are also instant online car buyers who will buy your car via a process that starts with an online car valuation. This part of the car selling market is the newest and fastest-growing and is seen as a quick, easy alternative to listing on a classified website and waiting for a buyer to show interest.
Online car buying websites first came into existence around 2006. A number of services around this time entered the car buying market with a fast way to sell a vehicle on a website with an initial valuation online. For the first time in the UK, sellers could sell online by going to a website and entering their reg for a price to sell it fast, usually within 1-3 days. Companies started to suggest they could buy all kinds of used car, whether old, used or nearly new. With a simple process (value online, then drive to an inspection point or have it collected), this instant selling concept changed the car buying market overnight.
