Commonly asked questions about finding buyers for your car

The best way to sell your car is one that is easy and quick, and at Motorway, that’s precisely what we do. We’re committed to making an easy, fair, and transparent way for you to sell your car, how?

Depending on what buyer you’re after, they may be looking for different things. Some figures will always be important such as:

Age
Mileage
Emissions ratings (especially in ULEZ or CAZ cities)
Service history

But other things can vary, for example:

Bespoke and custom finishes may turn off mainstream dealers but could appeal to specialist buyers
Location-based demand — your Smart car will likely find a buyer quicker in the city than in a rural location

Whatever the case, you should try to keep your car looking its best, as a well-maintained car with a few more miles on the clock might still trump a truly beat-up car with low miles when it comes time to sell.

If speed is the name of the game then there are a few options:

Instant car-buying sites — it’s definitely quick, but you may find you’re offered a lower price
Scrapping your car — if you know you’re going to struggle to find a buyer for your older vehicle, then scrapping it might be a good option, and is a relatively fast process
Motorway — we can help you sell your car fast, for your best offer, and totally free!

With Motorway, whether you’re looking to sell your car to a dealer or sell it for scrap, our process remains quick, easy, and free. All you need is your reg and mileage to get started.
