Selling Your Car

Before you list your car, it helps to know its realistic resale value — mileage, service history and outstanding finance all affect what buyers will pay. From there, choose how to sell: privately for a better price but more effort, to a dealership for convenience, or via trade-in when buying your next car. Whichever route you choose, have your documents ready — registration papers, a valid roadworthy certificate where required, your service history and proof of any outstanding finance settlement, which needs to be paid out before ownership can transfer. See our guides on resale value, the documents you’ll need, and your rights as a seller for a full walkthrough.
