If you've ever sold a car in the past, I'm sure you'll agree that it can be a terrible schlepp. Firstly, you may not be impressed with the price the dealerships are offering you, and secondly, should you go the private sale route, it can become a major headache having to arrange viewings and entrusting your car to potential buyers for a test drive; apart from the security risk, it's also very time consuming - and most of us lead very busy lives.
But, with AutoTrader's Instant Offer tool, your days of stressing about selling your car have come to an end. Here's what you need to do to sell your car in a flash.
1. Visit AutoTrader and find out how much your car is worth
By using our free valuation tool, you will be able to find out exactly how much your car is worth.
Just enter your car's details, such as the make, model, registration year, mileage, condition, and location, and our valuation tool will give you an instant estimate of your car's value based on live market data.
2. List your car on Instant Offer!
Happy with the estimate? You can now submit an online application for an Instant Offer by clicking on the Sell my car INSTANTLY button. Once you've entered a few more of your details and uploaded images of your car, click on the Get My Car Sold button, you'll get an obligation-free offer in under 60 minutes!
3. Get your car inspected and receive the final offer (and get paid!)
Once you've completed step 1 and 2, we will send one of our buying partners to your home or workplace to inspect and test drive your car and make you a final offer, or you can bring in your car to our buying partner's dealership, whichever works best for you. Our buying partner will also prepare the dreaded paperwork! And you'll get paid within 24 hours if you accept.
