Selling your car to a dealer vs car sales website – which is better?

In a recent news article produced by ThisIsMoney.Co.UK , they claim that car owners are losing money when selling their cars to websites such as WeBuyAnyCar.

Selling your car to a dealer can be more profitable for you as a customer, there are definitely savings to be made.

As an example, some car sales websites can charge you around £50 just to transfer the funds to your account, here at Tickenham Garage we guarantee to not charge you any fees for selling your car to us.

Selling your car privately is always an option, its worth noting the time and money that can be spent on this with the advertising of vehicles on websites such as AutoTrader & Motors charging for the premium features to make your car stand out.  You will generally get more money selling your car privately if your prepared to take the risk yourself and are happy with strangers at your door!

We guarantee to offer more than WeBuyAnyCar for stock items that we have demand for. Give us a call today to find out what we can offer you for your car.
