Motorway, the used-car marketplace, explains how you can sell your car without leaving the house.
With nearly seven million used cars sold in the UK in 2022, it’s safe to say that “sell my car” is a task written on a lot of people’s to-do lists.
Traditional ways to sell or trade in cars often require negotiation and compromise between sellers getting their best price and enjoying an easy and quick experience.
That’s where Motorway (“The way to sell your car!” if you’ve seen its TV ad) comes in – turning what can be a stressful and time-consuming chore into a seamless, online experience.
The used car market in the UK is more than four times larger than the new car market.
That means most motorists can be expected to sell or trade in their cars at fairly regular intervals.
Making the process easier, to give people their time back, goes a huge way in improving the experience for millions of car sellers every year.
Motorway achieves this by moving the whole process of selling your car, from getting your first valuation, to waving it off as it gets driven away, onto your phone.
You can sell your car without leaving the house!
The easy way to sell your car
Simply enter your reg and mileage either on Motorway’s website or app for an instant, free valuation.
This will be based on Motorway’s smart valuation tech that uses live market data for vehicles just like yours to ensure your online estimate is as accurate as possible.
Assuming your vehicle is in good condition, this will give you an accurate valuation for the current, market price of your car.
If you decide to sell your car, you then profile it with Motorway’s app – available on the App Store and Google Play Store.
This involves answering some questions about the vehicle’s spec and condition and uploading photos of your car from several different angles.
The in-app camera lays templates on the screen so you can snap your car from all its key angles, and upload a comprehensive range of professional standard photos.
Once your photos are complete, entering your car into the daily online sale is easy. Additionally, Motorway has thought about how to make communication with potential buyers more efficient.
When you get your best price from a dealer, simply approve it by clicking a link from your email. Likewise, arranging the date and time for free home collection is easy.
Unlike traditional car-selling methods, which require a lot of time spent handling admin, communications, and logistics, the platform is designed to make the whole process as seamless as possible.
The fast way to sell your car
Motorway’s network of more than 5,000 verified dealers compete to give sellers their best price – and you can have a sale agreed for your car in as little as 24 hours.
You don’t have to spend time writing lengthy vehicle ad descriptions or researching info about your car’s spec.
Motorway will prompt you to gather your key car ownership documents and get your car sale-ready.
With your best price sent straight to your inbox for approval at the end of the next available sale, normally the day after you’re done profiling your car, all you have to do is select a date and time for free home collection.
The free way to sell your car
Motorway is always free for sellers, at every step of the process.
Getting your initial, free, online valuation couldn’t be easier, and can be done on the homepage or in the app. All you need to input for a real-time valuation is your reg and mileage.
Something that sets Motorway apart from other car-selling platforms is that it never takes any fees or commissions.
When you get your best price from your buying dealer, based on the condition of your car as described, that’s the money you can expect to see paid straight into your bank account when the car is collected.
It’s free to sell your financed car with Motorway, as long as you have a valid settlement agreement, and have your dealer clear all the outstanding finance and pay you the surplus.
This way, you get your best price for your car from competing dealers, rather than having to accept a less beneficial trade-in agreement.
Selling your car no longer requires hard negotiation with potential buyers, engaging with timewasters, travelling around dealerships, or writing ads for your vehicle across multiple platforms.
You can get the best of all these worlds, in one place. For an easy, stress-free selling experience, visit Motorway.
