Which online car buyers will give me the best price for my car?
When selling cars online the most important thing for most people is getting the best price for it! One of the hardest thing perhaps, especially when selling a car online, is finding the best car buyers online to achieve this. And then, of course, there's the question of just how genuine the offers you receive from certain car buyers.
Over the past few months there have been various press reports about one group of car buyers. The thrust of these reports has been that they offer a higher price online to people selling a car but ask you to take your car to them. When you do (take your car to them) they are reportedly targeted to reduce the online offer they made to you by up to 30%! It's fair to say then that sometimes to sell my car for the best price can be quite different to obtaining the best online offer to sell cars!
It was with this in mind that Sell Car UK set about developing an internal process that allowed them to make accurate and genuine offers to people selling a car online. Clearly, the main risk is the accuracy of data supplied by the person selling cars, assuming that the car buyers themselves actually want to make a genuine offer to buy cars. At Sell Car UK we include free nationwide collection as part of our service - free to the person selling a car to us but not free to us, of course. Commercially, the business model just doesn't work if we have aborted collections and this is far more likely to be the case if our offers to people selling a car are found to be, let's say, not as genuine as they should be! So, our intentions are clear: when selling a car to us, the offer we make is a genuine offer....so long as you have been accurate with the data you have supplied us with. Over the last 12 months, Sell Car UK has achieved an average of just under 97% of the online offer - in other words, if the online offer was £7000 the actual purchase price would have been circa £6800. When compared to our reputed main competitor's objective of a 30% reduction upon viewing, and when you consider we are buying cars "blind", this is an achievement we are very pleased with!
Selling a car for the best price to SellCar-UK.com, car buyers across the UK
Are you the same company as Sell Cars UK?
SellCars-UK.com (Sell Cars) is not the same company as SellCar-UK.com (Sell Car UK). In October 2009, Sell Car UK launched their national TV advertising campaign, aimed at people looking to sell cars online who preferred to have their car collected. Towards the end of this campaign, a competing car buyer purchased a similar domain name, simply adding the letter "s". Over the following 15 months or so, we encountered numerous situations where people looking to sell cars for cash contacted us to ask for our confirmation that we were one and the same company. We were unable to provide this confirmation and sought expert advice about the legality of Sell Cars for cash actions. In late December 2010, we received confirmation from ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) that a breach of contract had been made by Sell Cars. In January 2011, the domain name SellCars-UK.com was transferred to the ownership of c4-uk ltd T/A SellCar-UK.com. We at Sell Car UK - SellCar-UK.com - unreservedly apologise for any confusion the above might have caused to people looking to sell cars to us during this period.

Selling my car or advertising my car?
Are you struggling to decide whether to sell your car to one of the online car buyers or whether to advertise it for sale privately?
The value of anything is purely what some else is prepared to pay for it. Whilst you might be more likely to sell your car privately for a higher than you might achieve selling my car to specialist car buyers, there are numerous factors that could make this harder than you might think. For example, on average, according to Autotrader, it takes 12 weeks to sell cars privately. So that's 12 weeks of advertising and insurance costs for starters. Selling my car privately will also require numerous viewings. On average a car dealer will need to generate about 8 quality viewings and test drives to sell a car and he or she is obviously more experienced and skilled at selling cars than the average member of the public....so you will likely need to generate more enquiries yourself to sell cars privately. You must therefore factor-in the time cost of all this. Furthermore, what if your car remains unsold after this 12 week period? Do you persist? Your car will certainly have depreciated in the meantime and selling my car to online car buyers will only be achieved now at a lower price.
Sometimes your first offer is your best offer! It's your car at the end of the day and therefore only you can decide. The choice is clear - selling a car today for a slightly lower price in return for no hassle, no advertising costs, no timewasters, no payment concerns, no security risks or taking a punt on selling my car privately for a slightly higher price but significantly more work on your part?
