How do I Trade my Motor?

If you are looking to Trade Your Motor then try Car Arena, the safe and secure way to sell your car quickly and easily.

Trading your car directly to a car buying company is probably the quickest and easiest way to sell your car. Without the expense or hassle you face when trying to sell a car privately, when you list your car on Car Arena it could be sold in a matter of minutes and the cash will be in your bank account before you hand your car over.

If I trade my motor to Car Arena how do I get my offer?

We use real time date to calculate a cars value, as well as our own extensive experience. As soon as you add your car to Car Arena you will receive an initial valuation. Once we take a few more details we will make our offer to purchase your car. This offer will be the amount we pay you in full on collection.

When I have agreed to trade my car, what is the next step?

Once you have accepted an offer, your Car Arena advisor will arrange for your car to be collected at a convenient time. We use an independent company to collect your car and ensure you are paid by secure bank transfer before you hand your car and V5 over.

Does your car trading service cost me anything?

This service doesn’t cost you a single penny. If you are happy with the final offer you receive to trade your motor and have discussed everything with our advisor and had the offer confirmed, that is the amount that will be paid directly into your bank account on collection of your car. There are no hidden charges or fees to be deducted from this. We even wait with you until you are able to confirm the funds are in your bank account before we take your car away.

Trading your motor with Car Arena really is risk and hassle free.
