How does part-exchange work?

We detail the benefits of part-exchanging your car, how to get the best deal for your vehicle and the documents you’ll need to bring to start the process.

What does part-exchange mean?

Part-exchange is the process of trading your current vehicle in as part of the payment towards another.

What are the benefits of part-exchanging your car?

• It’s quick. You can buy a new car and sell yours all in the same transaction, and get behind the wheel of your new car faster.
• It’s easy. There’s no need to deal with any of the stresses or costs of selling your car privately, such as setting up a classified ad or showing your car to potential buyers who may not end up going ahead with the purchase.
• It’s hassle-free. We take care of all the paperwork and can even settle any outstanding finance left on your current car. When selling privately, all outstanding finance must be settled before the car is sold.
  
• It’s simple. We’ll accept any car, regardless of age, mileage or condition. We can even accept more than one car. And the best part? We’ll give you a fair valuation, as we’re able to view the car there and then.
