If you're looking to sell your vehicle, there are several options to consider. We will be looking at the various options you have, as a seller, at your disposal.
Instant Offer
The AutoTrader Instant Offer programme is our vehicle buying programme that puts sellers in touch with high-quality, trusted dealers who offer top prices for quality stock. To get an Instant Offer the seller must fill in the details of their vehicle to a valuation based on live market data. Once you know what your car is worth, AutoTrader will present you with the very best cash offer in under 60 minutes! If you are concerned about going anywhere, don't worry our buying partners will come to you, any time, any place. Once you have agreed upon the deal, your car will be gone in a matter of hours, not days. We have ensured that the paperwork is kept to a minimum and that you'll get paid instantly.
Private sale
Selling your car privately can yield the most money, however, it comes with its own set of problems. These issues relate to buyers that will potentially 'low ball' you as a seller, or potentially subject you to a scam. A private sale also generally takes longer, so if you are looking to move your vehicle on quickly, it is not the best option.
Trade-in
When you're looking to upgrade/downgrade, or just looking for something new, a trade-in is an easy option. However, a car dealer will only offer you a so-called 'trade-in' value, which is below the market price for your vehicle as a dealer must then make a profit on your car, which includes ensuring that it is road worthy and ready to be sold. This means that you will get less than what you might have anticipated for your vehicle.
Should you sell your car using Instant Offer?
Looking at how simple the process is, there is no risk or downside to selling your car using AutoTrader's Instant Offer. Once you have applied, you are not obliged to sell your vehicle for the offer provided. We recommend that you give it s try the next time you're looking at selling your vehicle. When you're then looking to replace that vehicle, remember to Search AutoTrader, which has nearly 80 000 new and used cars for sale.
