More Than Trade Price

Trade price
is what a dealer pays to resell at a profit.

Part-exchange and instant-buy sites pay trade because they need margin to resell your car themselves. A properly marketed private sale cuts that margin out — and the difference is usually significant.

Common Questions

Selling for more than trade price, answered

It varies by car, but the gap between trade and private-sale value is commonly 10 to 20%, sometimes more on desirable models in good condition. We'll give you an honest estimate for your specific car before you commit to anything.
Because they need margin to cover their own overheads, resale risk and profit once they've bought your car — trade price is deliberately set below what they expect to sell it for. That's a normal, legitimate part of how dealers operate, not a rip-off, but it does mean trade price is never the ceiling.
That's the trade-off, and it's a fair question — but it's the hassle we exist to remove. We handle the marketing, the enquiries and the negotiation, so you get the private-sale price without doing the private-sale work.
No — even cars with higher mileage or some wear typically achieve more than trade through proper marketing, because the comparison point is always trade price for that same car's actual condition, not a hypothetical showroom example.
That doesn't change the maths — we settle it from the sale proceeds, so you still benefit from the higher private-sale price with the finance handled as part of the process.
