Annabel and Lewis’ story: To Freshers’ Week and beyond!

Annabel and Lewis sold their car before Lewis went to uni so that he could have one less expense, and more financial security. 

Annabel lives in South Wales with her family. Her eldest son, Lewis, is a very keen rugby player who recently left home for Swansea University. His old car, a 12-reg Alfa Romeo, wasn’t going with him. Annabel felt they had two options: let the car sit on her driveway until the holidays when Lewis might need it, or sell it and use the money to support Lewis’ university career.

As we all know – cars are an expense. Even if they’re not being driven all the time, you still have tax and insurance to pay on them, as well as servicing and MOTs to keep them roadworthy. 

Mothers know best: Annabel knew that Lewis would be grateful not to be liable for these costs. She wanted him to make the most of Swansea and have time for his studies, his sports and of course, socialising. Realising that his student loan alone wasn’t going to be enough, Annabel suggested he sell his old Alfa Romeo and use the money to support his uni life. 

Lewis thought it was a great idea, and although he was sad to see his first car go, as a player for two rugby clubs he had dual memberships and two lots of rugby stash to pay for, on top of living expenses. So, for the Ingrams, selling the car was a no-brainer. 

Annabel recommended Motorway to Lewis because she’d successfully used it to sell a previous car. Once more, the whole process was simple and stress-free, with the collection taking less than a quarter of an hour. 

The money hit Lewis’ bank account before the car had even rolled off the driveway. Best of all, the final sale price was even higher than their Motorway valuation – leaving Lewis and Annabel thrilled!
