Selling your Daimler the Motorway way

You can have your Daimler sold in no time at all, and all you need is your phone.

1. Get a free valuation

   It all starts with a free valuation using our clever tool. It runs on smart data taken from our own marketplace but also the wider car industry. That means it’s always up to day and accurate to the day you request your valuation. The price you see is based on how cars just like yours really have been selling. Don’t wait to sell if you like what you see, because car value is changing all the time.

2. Create a car profile

   A few taps, a few snaps, and it’s all done. No old school essay-length car descriptions needed. We’ll ask you some simple questions and you just need to answer them with a tap of your screen. We’ll walk you through every angle of photo you’ll need too, all done with your phone’s camera.

3. Chill out

   There’s nothing more for you to do, because this is where Motorway does the rest. We add your car profile to our online sale and invite our network of 4,000+ dealers to view it. Then, if they like the looks of your vehicle, they need to make an offer. And it’s not one you have to worry about negotiating. In fact, you don’t have to talk to a single dealer. Because we’ve made it dealer vs dealer, when they make an offer, it has to be a price they don’t think another dealer could beat. Just like that, you get the best price every time!

4. Have your car collected

   Your winning dealer will come right to your home to pick up your car, no need to worry about travelling anywhere. They’ll inspect your car to make sure it matches your car profile and then you’ll be paid by secure bank transfer. Most customers have these funds in their account within one business day.

   Ta-dah, you’ve just sold the Motorway way!

A bit about Daimler

Daimler, formally called The Daimler Company, was a British car manufacturer established in London. The company was established in 1891 by Frederick Simms and its first notable vehicle was in fact a motorboat lended to the brand by Gottlieb Daimler of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. After a bit of a shaky start following theft and the company solicitor, the brand moved towards making cars. This initially included powering Peugeot and Panhard models with Daimler technology. Simms worked with the brand to enable manufacturing of their engines and vehicles in the UK.

By 1986, Simms had sold control of the company to investor Harry Lawson. Under Lawson’s instruction, the brand established a new plant at Coventry which became the first automobile factory in the UK. For the first years while the plant was being built, Daimler had to profit from selling imported cars rather than building their own vehicles locally. In 1897, the first car left the factory but by the following year, both Simms and Daimler had both resigned from their positions within the brand.

Despite the beginnings of Daimler being fraught with financial and management issues, it remains an important name in terms of British manufacturing, as proven by its royal patronage. In 1989, Edward VII took a ride in a Daimler, a Daimler motor was also the first vehicle to be driven into the yard at the Palace of Westminster. In 1902, Daimler received a royal warrant after selling several cars to the monarchy. While this was lost to Rolls-Royce in the 1950s, the relationship has continued even to modern times, with every monarch since having a Daimler in their fleet of vehicles. Elizabeth II has a Daimler for personal use. They also supplied royal vehicles to the monarchies of Japan, Russia, Spain, and Greece.

In modern eras, Daimler has passed through several hands, being owned by Jaguar multiple times, BMH, British Leyland, Ford, and finally Tata, who continues to own it though Daimler is currently not trading.
