New research reveals that 84% of Motorway customers get more than the market price* when selling their vehicles. With its winning trio of speed, convenience, and free services, the car-selling platform makes the process smooth for customers searching for their best price.
But what’s it like to sell your vehicle online on the UK’s fastest-growing used car marketplace?
For the first time, Motorway lifts the veil on its customers’ experiences in its ‘more money stories’ campaign. Sharing real customer experiences, Motorway explores how a variety of drivers approached selling their cars online, and what they did when they got more money.
Take Nigel. Like many of us, Nigel and his family have been feeling the squeeze of the cost of living crisis. Looking at the two family cars in their driveway, Nigel realised they could cut back on expenses and downsize to a more economical, shared hybrid. He followed a friend’s suggestion and looked up his cars’ values on Motorway.
“Compared to what was left on our [cars’] 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 great prices he got from selling on Motorway, Nigel was able to clear his family’s bills and purchase a more economical hybrid car. Even better, he took his family on not one, but two dream holidays to Corfu. And the best part: achieving instant valuations, easy sales, and more money was all done quickly and from home.
1. Instant vehicle valuation
The first step to selling your car is knowing how much it’s worth. This is especially important – behind property, cars are commonly the most valuable financial asset.
Motorway takes the guesswork out of car valuation. Enter your reg and mileage on Motorway’s homepage to create a free account. You can see real-time pricing for what your vehicle could fetch on Motorway’s marketplace, where over 5,000 verified dealers compete to give you their best price.
This instant valuation is based on live and historical used car sales data from across the UK, empowering customers to take the wheel and sell at a time that makes the most sense for them.
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!”
2. Car profiling and sale
When you’re ready to sell, just create a quick car profile and enter your vehicle into Motorway’s daily online sale, where 5,000+ verified dealers from across the UK will vie to offer you their best price.
Profiling your car is fast and easy. With Motorway’s free iPhone and Android app, there’s no need to write a lengthy car description, like you would on a classifieds site or social media marketplace. Instead, simply confirm details about your car. “Be specific about dinks or chips, any damage to the car, because that might affect the value,” Nigel shares.
Next, it’s picture time. Use Motorway’s AI image assist to find your car’s best light and upload your favourite photos. Upload your car’s documents and profile complete!
Enter your car into Motorway’s online daily sale and you’re in the fast lane to having a deal agreed straight from your phone.
3. Free collection and fast payment
You don’t have to field offers or negotiate back and forth with buyers – it’s all taken care of for you once your car is live on Motorway’s smart platform.
You’ll be emailed the winning bid for your car after the online sale closes. To complete your sale, all you need to do is schedule free collection at a time and place of your choosing.
No matter where you and your buyer are based in the UK, you’ll get free vehicle collection. Your buyer will turn up at the agreed-upon time, inspect your vehicle, and make a payment directly to your bank account.
“Selling our car on Motorway was simple and straightforward. It was really user-friendly, and we got a great price too,” Nigel says. “It allowed us to have a lovely family holiday, and the price was so good we actually sold our second car too!”
