Selling your car in West London: your options

There are four main ways to sell a car, and the right one depends on whether you care most about price, speed or hassle.

1. Private sale

Usually the highest price, but the most work: writing an advert, taking calls, arranging viewings and test drives, and dealing with time-wasters and payment risks. It can take weeks.

2. Instant online buyers

Quick and convenient, but the online quote is often reduced at inspection, so the final offer can be lower than you expected.

3. Online dealer auctions

Platforms that put your car in front of many dealers can get competitive offers. Many of the cars we buy come this way – and we travel to collect them.

4. Sell direct to a local dealer

Selling straight to a dealer like AUTEX Motors is fast and simple: a straightforward offer, payment by bank transfer before we take the car, and we handle the ownership change on the spot.

Tips for the best price

Clean the car inside and out, gather your service history and MOT certificates, have both keys, and be honest about any faults – surprises at inspection always cost more than being upfront.
