Car Arena - How it works

Car Arena is the UK’s No. 1 fully managed car buying service. We work with our subscribing dealers to secure the best cash offer for your car.

By filling out our simple online form to list your vehicle on Car Arena, it will instantly be available for our subscribing dealers to view. Using the Car Arena website they confirm what they would be willing to buy your car for. We then take the best offer and pass that on to you. This means you only have to deal with your Car Arena Account Manager and not field calls from dozens of potential purchasers. Because our dealers are aware your car will be receiving interest from our other subscribers they will be more inclined to offer you the best price they can in order to conclude any deals quickly and efficiently. Of course you do not have to accept the first offer, or indeed any offer.

If you car is a particularly desirable make and model and, less than 6 years old it is highly likely we will receive many offers to buy your car and be in a great position to negotiate a better price for you. Once you are happy with an offer made and accept it, we arrange a convenient date and time to come to you to collect and pay for your car. We pay for all cars by secure bank transfer and wait with you until you have cleared funds in your bank account before we leave with your car.

Some of our subscribing dealers do buy cars older than 6 years, but these are not in as high demand as the newer vehicles.

You are not charged a penny for this service. The offer we make to you to buy your car is the amount you will receive on collection. There are no additional costs to be deducted from our cash offer for your car.

If you are trying to sell your vehicle, then try Car Arena. It is completely free and you are not obliged to accept the offers if they do not meet your own valuation. There are no time wasters on Car Arena, just professional car buyers from across the UK, with cash waiting needing to buy cars today.

You really have nothing to lose.
