How To Sell Your Car
There are various options when it comes to selling your car; but the most important factors to consider are; how much money would you ideally like and how much time and effort do you have to put in?

Selling to a dealer
One way to get around all these problems is to sell or part exchange your car with a used car supermarket, like us. This makes it easy to synchronise the selling of your old vehicle with the potential purchase of your new one. There are many misconceptions about selling your car to a used car supermarket, including that you won’t get the best price and you’ll have to negotiate or will be pressured to buy.
This isn’t the case with us. With Hilton Garage you can use our reputable vehicle valuation tool to get a price on your vehicle before you visit us. All of our valuations are free too; there are no hidden charges or admin fees so there’s no need to worry about that, and there’s no pressure to sell to us if you decide you don’t want to. It’s nice and simple, all you have to do is input some details about your vehicle and some contact details and our handy valuation tool takes care of the rest.
If you’re happy with the price, you can book an appointment with us to bring the car in to complete the deal or you can find out more about our part exchange process here if you’re looking to do that. We consider all makes and models and offer fair and competitive prices on all of them.
Selling to a car buying website
Alternatively, if speed is of the essence you can always consider a car buying website that typically buys your car on the same day. Only downside is these companies will give you less money in exchange as they sell your car on to auction. Because of this, you’ll also most likely get less of a chance for negotiation on price compared to with a dealer or privately.
Using third party selling tools means your car will get sold to a dealer and then onto another consumer so there ends up being more parties needing to take a cut, and this is naturally reflected in the price they give you. The amount of money you get is also subject to the overall quality of the car, and you’ll also have to pay an admin fee. However, by selling your car directly to Hilton Garage, you’re more likely to get the most for your vehicle.
