Q: What should I bring to my webuyanycar appointment?
Documents:
- V5C logbook.
- Service history (if available).
- Any extras (e.g. locking wheel nut).
Your ID:
- Photographic proof of ID (e.g. driving license or passport).
- Proof of address from the last 9 months (e.g. utility bill, council tax bill or bank statement).
Financial details:
- Your bank details (so we can set up the payment).
- If your car has outstanding finance, an in-date letter from the car finance company confirming the settlement amount.
If you do decide to sell your car, you will be leaving your car with us. Please ensure that you have made arrangements for your return journey.
Q: What cars do you buy?
We buy used cars and vans with:
- Outstanding finance.
- Private registration plates.
- Damage (or in need of repairs).
- Less than 6 month’s MOT.
- ‘SORN’ or ‘non-runner’ status.
- Import status.
You can also sell a vehicle on behalf of a family member, friend or company (including in the case of bereavement). In these circumstances, it is necessary to bring extra documentation.
If your old car does not have a valid MOT, is SORN (or a non-runner), we can still buy your car, but you will need to arrange for it to be transported to the branch ahead of your appointment.
Please visit our Frequently asked questions for more detailed information.
Q: How and when will I be paid when you buy my car?
By default, payment will be made directly to your bank account within 4 working days after the day of the sale, using our standard electronic bank transfer service. There is no charge for this service.
We also offer a next working day payment service for an additional fee of £24.75 – and an Immediate Payment option (clearing within 15 minutes) to selected customers for an additional fee of £29.75. (We do not charge a next or same-day fee when we are offering to buy your car for less than £500.)
Please visit our Terms and conditions for more information.
Payment tracking
After completing your appointment, you will be sent a unique link for tracking your payment. Your Payment Tracker link will show information on your payment’s progress, including an estimated payment date. This unique link will be sent:
- By email (contained within your invoice PDF): The email subject line will read ‘Purchase Invoice’ and the sender will be ‘webuyanycar’. Please check all areas of your inbox including your junk or spam folder.

Q: Where can I sell my car?
There are numerous channels where you can sell your car, including:
- Selling to a dealership: If you want to sell your car fast and aren’t too concerned about price, selling through your local dealership could be a great option.
- Selling to a car buying service: If you sell your car to webuyanycar, you’ll benefit from a guaranteed sale, fair pricing based on current market data, and quick payment by bank transfer.
- Selling privately: You could get a great price selling privately, if you’re prepared to spend more time marketing your motor and meeting viewers.
- Selling at an auction: You could get the best price for a classic or collectable car at an auction, if you find the right buyer. Auctions can help you find a niche audience but often charge an entry fee – and commission on vehicle sales.
- Selling your old car for scrap: You can sell your old car for cash at your local scrapyard. The process is fast and straightforward, but you can often raise more cash through other selling methods.
