How and when will I be paid for my vehicle?

Vehicle collection and payment process

All dealers we work with will arrange free collection of your vehicle from your home, work, or a location that’s convenient for you. They will also ensure fast payment within 24 hours, free of charge.

On the day of collection:

  • The dealer or a team member will inspect your car to verify that it matches the description you provided. This includes checking the bodywork, interior, and general mechanics and may involve a short test drive.

  • If you’ve accurately profiled your vehicle, the dealer is committed to paying the agreed amount based on your highest offer. A lower amount may only be suggested if the vehicle's condition significantly differs from your initial description, making accurate profiling essential.

Payment details:

  • Once the dealer confirms that the car matches your description, they’ll arrange for free, fast payment via online bank transfer.

  • In most cases, the funds will be transferred to your nominated bank account on the same day the vehicle is collected, or at the latest, within 24 hours.

  • The exact timing of the payment may vary slightly depending on the dealer and your bank. Typically, the money will be in your account before the car is driven away.

  • If there is any outstanding finance on the vehicle, it will be settled before you receive your payment. For more information on clearing finance, click here.

Please Note: None of our dealers will pay you in physical cash (i.e., bank notes).
