Selling Your Car to CarWave

Selling Your Car Made Simple with CarWave

At CarWave, we’ve made selling your car as easy as possible. Whether your vehicle is a non-runner, an old banger, or a shiny new motor, we’re here to offer a quick, hassle-free, and transparent service. Our process is designed to save you time and effort so you can sell your car from the comfort of your own home without the stress of haggling or dealing with time-wasters.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to how it all works:

Step 1: Enter Your Car’s Details

The first step to selling your car with CarWave is to provide us with a few basic details about your vehicle. Enter your car’s registration number into our online form, and we’ll take care of the rest.

We’ll ask for some additional information about your car, such as:

• The make and model
• The mileage
• The overall condition (e.g., any damage, whether it’s running or not)
• Service history (if available)

Don’t worry if your car isn’t in perfect shape – we buy cars in all conditions, so just be honest about its current state.

Step 2: Receive Your Guide Price

Once you’ve entered your car’s details, our team will evaluate it. We use a combination of market data, industry expertise, and the specifics you’ve provided to create a fair and competitive offer.

We’ll send you a guide price for your car via SMS, WhatsApp, email, or a phone call – whichever method you prefer. This price reflects the current market value of your car, based on its make, model, condition, and mileage.

Step 3: Accept the Offer

If you’re happy with the guide price we’ve offered, the next step is to let us know. There’s no pressure to accept – but if you do, we’ll move on to securing the deal.

To confirm the sale, we’ll pay a small deposit to secure your car. This deposit ensures that your vehicle won’t be sold to someone else while we arrange the final steps of the process.

Step 4: Submit the Necessary Documents

Before we finalise the transaction, we’ll need you to provide a few documents to ensure everything is above board:

• Form of ID: A valid photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) to confirm your identity.
• Copy of the Logbook (V5C): This confirms that you are the registered owner of the vehicle.
• Live Video of the Car: A short video showing the current condition of the car helps us verify that everything matches up with the details provided.

These documents help us ensure the transaction is secure and straightforward.

Step 5: Arrange Inspection and Collection

Once we’ve received your documents and everything checks out, we’ll arrange for an inspection of your car. Don’t worry – we’ll come to you! We’ll schedule the inspection at a time and place that suits you, whether that’s at your home, workplace, or anywhere else that’s convenient.

Our inspection is quick and thorough, ensuring that the car’s condition matches what you’ve described. This step is just to confirm everything before we complete the sale.

Step 6: Get Paid and Hand Over the Car

Once the inspection is complete and everything’s in order, we’ll pay you the remaining balance. Payment is made securely via bank transfer, so you’ll have the money in your account before we drive the car away.

After you’ve received your payment, we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll collect the car and handle all the necessary paperwork, including notifying the DVLA that the car has been sold.
