What do I need to sell my car today?

All you need today is your reg number, some photos and a few car details. When we come to collect, there are a couple of other bits we will need to complete the sale:

Your V5 logbook/registration certificate. This needs to be registered in the name of the current keeper.
Any service history/service books
Photo ID. E.g., drivers licence, passport.
A proof of address. E.g., a recent utility bill.
Car keys (including any spares).

We will also need the date of your car’s last MOT. If the current MOT runs out in under three months, we won’t be able to buy it.

Get The Best Price For Your Car

Aiming for the highest offer for your car? Let’s not pretend – who isn’t? Here are a few things you can do to get a head start:

Be upfront about any imperfections, and make sure your mileage count is off by no more than 500 miles.
Whether you have a stamped logbook, paper receipts, or a digital trail, being able to prove your car’s service history is a golden ticket.
Make sure your vehicle is free of any mud or dirt, just so we can complete the inspection properly.

If what we see is different to your description, we may have to change our offer or withdraw from the sale. You’ll have another full 7 days to think about any new offer we give.

Sell my car FAQs

How can I sell my car fast?

Head to the top of this page and enter your registration number! Provide us with a few more details (which can take as little as 10 minutes) and we’ll get back to you super fast with a generous valuation that’s guaranteed for 7 days.

1. Enter your registration number in the box at the top of this page
2. Provide us with a few photos

We’ll take care of the rest. Based on this information you’ll get a valuation from us that’s valid for 7 days, so you’ve got plenty of chances to mull the offer over. Once you’ve seen how good our valuations are, though, you won’t be turning it down!

Who will buy my car?

We will – it’s in our name, after all! As long as your vehicle has under 70,000 miles on the clock and is newer than 2015, we’ll purchase vehicles of all makes, models, shapes, sizes, and physical condition. Curious as to how much your car might be worth? Enter your reg details for a no-obligation quote today.

How much can I sell my car for?

This will depend on a number of factors such as:

The make and model of your car
Its age
The amount of mileage it’s done
If it has any service history
Current supply and demand levels
The condition of the bodywork and interior

What we do promise, however, is that the valuation we give is based on current market appraisals and that it will be extremely competitive.

Where is the safest place to sell a car?

The traditional way of selling a second-hand car through online classifieds or newspaper ads is full of potential pitfalls; the buyer tries to intimidate you to chip you down on price, they know where you live, and they can continue to harass you after the purchase has gone through. Obviously, none of this is ideal.

With BigWantsYourCar.com, we want to give you confidence in our method, so you’ll only see us twice; once when we come out to appraise your vehicle and the second when we collect your car at a time convenient to you – everything else is done via the secure website. 100% peace of mind, every time.

At what point should you sell a car?

That’s entirely your choice. People decide to sell their cars for all kinds of reasons, but whenever you decide to sell your car through us you’ll get a valuation that’s guaranteed for 7 days, so you’ll have plenty of time to consider it. Even if your car has outstanding finance, you’ll just need to show us proof of the outstanding figure so that we can settle up with the provider directly. It couldn’t be easier!

What are the car conditions you accept?

We accept cars in all conditions, from average and good to excellent. Take a look at our guidelines for a more detailed breakdown.

How long does the process of selling my car take?

It never takes long to sell your car the Big way. Once you provide details about your car, you’ll receive a valuation within seconds. And, after accepting the offer, we can arrange for the car to be picked up in as little as 24 hours.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

To sell your car, you’ll need:

Your V5 logbook/registration certificate
Any service history/service books
Photo ID. E.g., driver’s licence, passport
A proof of address. E.g., a recent utility bill
Car keys (including any spares)

What happens if my car doesn't match the description I provided?

If your car doesn’t match the description you provided, we may need to withdraw from the sale or change our offer.

I still owe money on my car loan/finance. Can I still sell it through BigWantsYourCar.com?

Yes, you can still sell your car even if you owe money on a loan or finance. We can help settle the outstanding finance amount directly with the lender. Any remaining balance will be paid to you. Just give us all the paperwork, and we’ll handle the rest.

How do I know BigWantsYourCar.com is a trustworthy company?

We are one of the most trusted car buyers in the UK. But don’t just take our word for it – with over 1,200 ‘Excellent’ Trustpilot reviews and a shelf full of awards, you can be sure you’re in safe hands with us.

What happens after I accept your offer to buy my car?

After you accept our offer, you can choose between a free car collection (at a time and place that suits you) or a drop-off at one of our nine locations across the country.
