We value your car and take it in part-exchange

Tell us what you have and we will give you a figure. If it works for you, we deduct it from the price of the vehicle you drive away; if it does not, you keep the valuation and nothing else happens.

How it works

  1. 01

    You tell us what you have

    Make, model, year and mileage. That is enough for us to give you a rough range by phone or WhatsApp the same day.

  2. 02

    We see it in person

    A serious valuation is not done from a screen. You bring the car to Málaga (or send us photos and the paperwork if you are far away) and we look at it properly: bodywork, interior, tyres, service history and how it drives.

  3. 03

    We give you a firm figure

    And explain where it comes from: what adds and what takes away. No inflated number to get you through the door and then trimmed once you have made the journey, which is the practice we like least in this trade.

  4. 04

    You decide

    If you buy here, we deduct the valuation from the price of the vehicle and handle the paperwork on both cars. If you do not, there is no obligation and no cost.

What we look at when we value your car

There is no secret formula. These are the things that genuinely move the price of a used car, roughly in order of weight.

  • Model, trim and engine

    Some versions sell themselves and others sit on the forecourt for months, even though they look like the same car.

  • Mileage and year, always read together

    A diesel with high motorway mileage is usually in better shape than one with low, entirely urban mileage.

  • Service history

    Invoices and stamps are worth money, because they lower the risk for whoever buys it next.

  • Real condition: bodywork, interior, tyres, timing belt, clutch and, on a 4x4, the transmission, the transfer case and whether it has been towing.

  • Paperwork and a valid ITV, any outstanding finance registered against it, and the number of previous owners.

  • And the part nobody enjoys hearing: how much demand that particular car has right now. We have to sell it again.

What we will not do

  • Give you a figure over the internet and lower it when you arrive.

  • Value a car we have not seen as though we had seen it.

  • Push you to buy today. If the valuation helps you sell it privately, go ahead.

Your car as part of the payment

Handing us your car in part-exchange is the easiest route and, if you put any value on your time, usually the most profitable one. You skip writing the advert, fielding calls, showing it on Saturdays, handling a transfer of ownership with a stranger, and answering for whatever goes wrong afterwards.
  • We take all of that on. You sign one transaction: the car coming in, the car going out, and both changes of ownership.

  • If your car still has finance outstanding, say so at the start. It can be dealt with, but it has to be done with the settlement figure in front of us, not halfway through the deal.

Ask us for a valuation

Fill in what you know. The make, the model and the mileage are enough to start; we can pin down the rest by phone.
