Many customers often wonder, "Do you accept part exchange?" and the answer is yes. Whether you're upgrading to one of our high-quality used vehicles or looking to make a seamless switch, we accept almost any car towards one of the vehicles we have in stock.
If you're considering purchasing a new car but aren't sure what to do with your current vehicle, the part exchange option is a simple, hassle-free solution that helps you get behind the wheel of your new car quickly and easily.
Is it best to sell my car first?
There’s a common misconception that selling your car privately before purchasing a new one will give you a better deal. However, we’d argue the opposite! When you opt for a part exchange, not only do you avoid the hassle of selling your car, but you also enjoy the convenience of trading it in and driving away in your new car – often on the same day.
Selling your car privately can leave you without a vehicle during the transition. With part exchange, you don’t need to worry about being without a car. Simply bring your current car to us, and after completing the transaction, you’ll be driving your new vehicle home in no time. This process is not only efficient but ensures you can avoid the complications of private selling.
Will I Get Less for My Vehicle as a Part Exchange?
Not necessarily! It’s a common belief that part exchange results in a lower value for your car, but that’s often not the case. When you sell through third-party websites like We Buy Your Car, your car is usually sent to auction and purchased by dealers like us. These platforms act as middlemen, often reducing the amount you could get.
In contrast, when you choose a part exchange with a reputable used car dealership like ours, you’ll often receive a more competitive offer. Since we’re directly buying your car, it can mean a better deal for you. Plus, if your vehicle is something we can retail in our showroom, we may offer you an even more favorable price. Always feel free to get a valuation and see how we compare.
What If My Car Isn’t Worth Much?
Worried that your car’s value is too low? Don’t be! We accept cars in all conditions, regardless of their value. Even if your car isn’t something we retail directly, we have an extensive network of trade contacts who may be interested. This means we can still offer you a competitive valuation.
Small dents, scrapes, or cosmetic damage? Not an issue! Thanks to our in-house Preparation Centre, we can take care of minor issues, so don’t hesitate to consider part exchange, even if your car isn't in perfect condition. We have a diverse range of used cars amongst our 300+ stock, and that could include your Part Exchange!
Can I Part Exchange if My Car is on Finance?
Yes, absolutely! Many of our customers have existing finance on their current vehicles, and part exchanging while your car is still under finance is a common process. We can help settle your existing finance agreement as part of the transaction, making it easy for you to move forward with purchasing your next car.
We’ve written a dedicated blog on the subject, but the key takeaway is that a financed car won’t stop you from getting a great deal on your next purchase.
What to Expect from a Part Exchange Valuation
When considering a part exchange valuation, it’s important to understand that we assess your vehicle based on its current market value, condition, and demand. Our team of experts carefully evaluates each car, factoring in details such as mileage, service history, and overall wear.
By providing a transparent and competitive valuation, we ensure you receive a fair offer for your car. This streamlined process saves you the time and hassle of selling privately, allowing you to trade in your old car and apply its value directly towards your next purchase, making your upgrade both convenient and cost-effective.
Why Choose Part Exchange?
There are several reasons:
Convenience: Avoid the hassle of selling privately and trade in your car for immediate credit towards your next purchase.
Same-Day Turnaround: In most cases, you can drive away in your new car on the same day, saving you the inconvenience of being without a vehicle.
Competitive Offers: Often, we can offer a better price for your vehicle than third-party sites, and because you're purchasing a car from us, we can sometimes offer preferential deals.
No Middleman: By dealing directly with us, you avoid the middlemen who typically cut into your car’s resale value.
