    I have used a few online and in-person car buying services and to date I have been satisfied with them all. 

    Like any other car sale there is always an element of negotiation during the process. It is therefore very important to describe your car accurately to help minimise this.

    Prices vary significantly between different buying services at any time too. So it is worth 'shopping around' each time you sell. Ultimately you can always refuse any offer you are unhappy with.


    Are there any you particularly liked or had a better experience with? I’ve read motorway gives you the list of dealerships that’s made a bid whereas carwow doesn’t tell you who the bidders are. Maybe I’m in the wrong mindset but I’d assume bigger dealerships would not try to haggle as much as smaller ones?
    Had a great experience with Flip It Today last time round. The price was agreed after I sent a set of photo's, they turned up on time and the money was in my bank before they left with the car.

    It turned out they were run by a nearby auction house so that may have had an impact on the experience though.
    I haven’t heard of Flip It Today so I’ll give them a check. Thanks!

    I used Cazoo  a few months ago…they offered 1.2 k more than part ex.  They didn’t knock anything off when I took the car to them,  Indy was in my account 15 mins after arriving at their depot
    I thought Cazoo closed down or about to be closed? But i have heard they are ok. 
    Maybe they have closed down I am not sure , but if they are still buying it’s worth a look
