In a nutshell, part-exchanging your car is the easiest and most hassle-free way to sell your car. It takes away the cost and time consuming efforts of booking in viewing times and constantly negotiating an amicable deal for both parties involved. By doing a simple part exchange, your car is sold, you have an instant agreed price and cash which can go towards your newer used car.
What does part exchange mean for car owners?
Part exchange is a process whereby you trade-in or use your old car as a deposit or part payment to go towards the purchase of a newer used car.
Can I part exchange my car if I have outstanding finance?
Yes, indeed you can. Even if you have outstanding car finance on your car, you can still speak to a dealer to discuss settlement options. And then any remaining value can then go towards the purchase of your new used car. The easiest way to do this is by contacting a used car dealer who has access to a portfolio of well-established car lenders and they will calculate what’s left outstanding and then provide possible options in having the loan settled and upgrading you to a newer used car.
Does my old car need to have a current MOT?
Some car dealerships require a minimum of 3 months MOT, but Best Price Car Sales have no requirements and will accept if your old car has a current MOT or not. All used cars sold by us will have a full and current MOT.
What documentation is required for a part exchange?
Once both parties have agreed on a price for your old car and the final steps in upgrading to a newer used car, you’ll be required to produce the following; V5/Logbook, MOT certificate(if you have a valid one), spare keys, (if available) and service history (if available).
