I wasn't looking forward to selling my car (to clear finance) and wanted it to be as quick and painless as possible! I had tried the 'obvious' online buying website but they didn't seem to take account of all the (expensive) extras I had on my car. I came across this company by accident whilst doing an internet search. I initially spoke to Marc Burton who did understand the value of the extras. He gave me a figure that was a fair bit higher than the other site. Communication was great throughout and the people who came to view my car were polite and friendly. They were very thorough and did find some slight scratches on two of my alloys which I hadn't noticed (I did tell them about one wheel). The figure quoted was thus reduced slightly but after some haggling we agreed on a price I was happy with - still £500 higher than the initial offer from the rival online company. Finance paid off and car driven away all within an hour. Fairly painless! I would agree with the feedback of several others on here - if you tell them EXACTLY what the condition of your car is, then you will get the quoted figure.

I would say that the whole process ran exactly as promised from start to finish and was very user friendly. Whilst you may not get as much money as you potentially could by selling privately, the ease of having the car collected and direct transfer of funds made it well worth it. The entire transaction was completed within 48hrs! I would not hesitate to sell a car through SellCar again and would recommend the service to anyone currently looking to sell a car privately.
