What is part-exchange?
Part-exchange means selling us your current car and buying your next one in the same transaction. Your car's value comes straight off the price of the one you're buying, so the difference is all you pay - and you drive home in the new car the same day.
How the numbers work
We value your car exactly as we would for an outright purchase: live market pricing for your exact car and mileage, confirmed when we inspect it. There's no separate, lower "trade-in price". If your next car costs £15,000 and yours is valued at £6,000, you pay £9,000 - in cash, on finance, or a mix of both.
What if my car is on finance?
Still fine. We settle the outstanding balance directly with your lender, and any equity left over goes towards your next car. See selling a car on finance for how settlement works.
Why part-exchange rather than sell privately?
- One visit. No listings, no viewings at your house, no waiting for a buyer while your next car sells to someone else.
- No gap without a car. You hand over the old keys and take the new ones in the same hour.
- Simpler paperwork. We handle the DVLA notifications for both cars while you wait.
How do I start?
Value your car first, then browse the forecourt - or just come and see us and do both over a coffee.
