For cars from Rainham: Being on the doorstep makes sale or return easy — there's no collection to arrange and you can see the car whenever you like.
Selling a car in Rainham
Rainham sits right on the A13 and the edge of the ULEZ zone, which makes it a natural crossing point between the London market and the Essex one. It's a large part of why we're here: a car that's hard to shift inside the zone often sells perfectly well to a buyer coming the other way.
Being local also means you can keep an eye on your own car. Sale-or-return customers from Rainham tend to drop in and see it on the forecourt, which is a reasonable thing to want and something no online buying service can offer.
Free collection from Rainham
You're local enough to walk in. Drop the car down to Ferry Lane any day of the week and we'll look at it while you wait.
Rainham is inside the London-wide ULEZ. We'll tell you whether your car is compliant when we value it, and what that means for what it's worth — we sell to buyers on both sides of the boundary.
Selling a car in Rainham — common questions
Can I just turn up without booking?
Yes. We're open seven days — Monday – Friday 9:00am – 6:00pm, Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm, Sunday 10:00am – 4:00pm. Booking ahead means someone is definitely free to look at the car straight away, but it isn't required.
Do you collect from Rainham?
Yes — collection from Rainham is free, whether you sell the car to us outright or put it through sale or return. You don't need to drive anything to Rainham to get a figure; we can give you a number first and arrange collection once you're happy.
What's the difference between selling it to you and sale or return?
Selling it to us is the quick route: we agree a price, pay you by bank transfer and take the car away. Sale or return means we sell it on your behalf — we prepare it, photograph it, advertise it and deal with every buyer, and you get the sale price minus one selling fee once it sells. Outright is faster; sale or return usually achieves more for the car.
What if my car still has finance on it?
That's normal and it isn't a problem. We settle the outstanding amount directly with your lender and you receive whatever is left over. Bring the lender's name and your agreement number and we'll get a settlement figure.
What do I need to have ready?
The V5C logbook, both keys if you have them, the service history and your MOT certificate. If something is missing, say so up front — it affects the figure, but it very rarely stops a sale.
Buying as well as selling?
We part exchange, so you can put the value of your old car straight into the next one. Browse the full showroom.
