Get more money for your car with Motorway, where dealers compete to give you their best price
New research reveals that 84 per cent of Motorway customers get more than the market price* when selling their vehicles. But what’s it like to sell your car online with Motorway, the UK’s fastest-growing used car marketplace?
With so many customers thrilled with the money they’ve got for their cars on Motorway, the car-selling platform has just launched a new campaign based on real customer experiences.
Fast, easy, and free, Motorway’s platform helps UK drivers like Nigel get more money for their cars. Like many of us, Nigel and his family were feeling the squeeze of the cost of living crisis. Realising they could downsize from two family cars to a more economical, shared hybrid, he followed a friend’s suggestion and looked up his car’s value on Motorway.
“Compared to what was left on our finance, we felt we actually couldn’t afford not to take the opportunity to sell,” Nigel says. “When we started looking at the prices we were able to get for the cars [on Motorway], we realised we could actually make enough money to clear a few bills, and go on holiday.”
With the proceeds from selling their family’s two vehicles, Nigel, his wife, and children were able to take not one, but two dream holidays to Corfu. And the best part – it was easy to sell their cars, and benefit from the great prices they got from verified dealers in Motorway’s network.
Instant car valuation
For Nigel and millions of people across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, their car is their most valuable financial asset. But a shocking one-third of all drivers in the UK don’t know what their car is worth.
Take control with a free, instant valuation with Motorway. Simply enter your reg and mileage on Motorway’s homepage and create a free account. You’ll then see the real-time price your vehicle could fetch on Motorway’s marketplace, where over 5,000 verified dealers compete to give you their best price.
This valuation is based on live and historical used car sales data pulled from across the UK. Knowing what your car is worth helps you decide when it’s best to sell and make the most of your money.
Speaking from first-hand experience, Nigel shares that, “we were really pleased with the price, and it actually made us check what our other car was worth. Again, that ended up being worth more than we thought, so we ended up selling a second car straight off the bat of the first one!”
Vehicle profiling and sale
When you’ve decided it’s time to sell, simply profile your car and enter it into Motorway’s daily auction, where 5,000+ verified dealers from across the UK will vie to offer you their best price.
Profiling your car on Motorway is quick and easy. Using Motorway’s free iPhone and Android app, you first input your reg and mileage for an estimated selling price. Then, simply confirm details about your car. “You have to be specific about dinks or chips, any damage to the car, because that might affect the value,” Nigel shares. For visuals, “you upload some photographs using the templates on the app, which is brilliant, and then you upload your documents and they do the rest.”
When posting your car on Motorway, there’s no need to write out a lengthy description, like you would on a classifieds site or social media marketplace. Just complete your vehicle’s profile and enter it into the online daily sale, and you’re in the fast lane to selling straight from your phone.
