Part exchange, or ‘part ex’ is when you sell your car to the dealer and pay the difference for your new car. You might want to consider a part exchange if you own your car outright and want to upgrade it for a more expensive or newer car.
It can be helpful to value your car online before you go to the dealership so you have a figure in mind when you negotiate the part exchange value.
Our free online tool provides accurate valuations by analysing thousands of daily sales. This is important if you’re looking to buy a used car for sale in the UK and using your current car as a trade-in.
Get an instant, accurate UK car valuation by simply entering your registration number. Our service offers free valuations without email sign-up, providing prices for used cars up to 2022 models.
Dealers invest in refurbishing and aim for profit. Our valuation reflects what you can expect, not dealer selling prices.
Various factors, including age, mileage, and condition, influence it. Since we can't assess your car's condition precisely, we provide a range reflecting its potential worth.
Use our free valuation tool to work out your car's worth before negotiating for your new one. With an accurate valuation, you can make sure the dealer offers a fair price for your part exchange, or decide whether selling privately is better for you.
Valuing a car is both art and science, considering factors like age, mileage, and fuel type. Market conditions and sales statistics also influence the price offered for your car.
Before selling your car, make sure it’s in the best possible condition. A well-maintained exterior and interior fetch the highest price. Addressing minor faults like scratches will maximise its value.
It’s worth replacing original parts that have gone missing, such as the parcel shelf or spare keys. By emphasising additional features your car offers, like climate control or a panoramic sunroof, you can make your car more appealing to private buyers or dealers for part exchange.
Gather all necessary paperwork, including the V5C registration document, MOT certificate, service history, and any related bills. This enhances your car's appeal and shows you’re a trustworthy seller.
No more endless scrolling – get straight to the best cars. Our cars are under ten years old, have fewer than 100,000 miles and are all quality checked for your peace of mind.

Before selling your car, ensure it's in top condition. A car with a gleaming exterior and a spotless interior will always fetch the highest price. Clean your car thoroughly and fix any minor issues, as buyers tend to offer less for vehicles with scratches or minor damage.
It's also beneficial to locate any original parts that might be missing, such as the parcel shelf or spare keys. Additionally, highlight any extras your car might have. Does it feature climate control? A panoramic sunroof? Perhaps one of the best infotainment systems? These features can make your car more appealing when selling to a private buyer or part-exchanging for a newer model at a dealer.
Don't forget the paperwork, as it's crucial. You'll need the V5C registration document, MOT certificate, and service history. Include receipts for any work you've had done as well. This not only makes your car more appealing but also portrays you as an honest and transparent seller.
