Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Will you give me an offer on my Mitsubishi?

Of course, submit an online enquiry and hear back from us within the hour. We accept all car brands, so we will definitely give you an offer on your Mitsubishi.

FAQ icon

Is the price you send me an estimate or the final offer?

The price we send is a firm and final offer. In rare instances, if you feel we have missed something in determining our purchase price, you can contact a team member by phone to discuss it.

FAQ icon

If my registration has expired, will you still send me an offer?

Yep, we send offers on cars even if they’re unregistered and unroadworthy. Don’t worry about renewing your registration or obtaining a roadworthy, just sell to us as it is.

FAQ icon

I want to sell my car, but it is still under finance; can I still sell it to you?

Yes, if your car still has an outstanding loan, you can still sell it to us; however, we will need a written statement from your lender outlining how much is still owed. If our purchase price exceeds the amount owed, we will transfer the remaining funds to you. It is best to contact a member of our team by phone to discuss your options in this scenario.

FAQ icon

Do you need to thoroughly inspect the condition before sending an offer?

We don’t need to thoroughly inspect the condition in person; we make our offers based on the digital information that you’ll send over.

FAQ icon

Are you a car dealer?

We only buy cars; we do not sell them. We cannot facilitate a trade-in to help you purchase another vehicle. We simply turn your unwanted car into fast cash.
