Buying a new car is exciting but selling your current one can be less so. That’s why we at Gates Ford are delighted to be able to help make the process quick and easy, taking all the hassle out of selling your car and providing you with a competitive and fair valuation. Through our handy online tool, you simply need to enter a few details about your vehicle and a price will be returned almost instantly. This value will then prove helpful in determining your budget for your next vehicle.
While the process of obtaining a valuation for your car is fast and effortless, you should note that the price quoted is contingent on a number of factors, many of which will be carefully inspected in person. Our sales experts will look at overall condition, any optional extras that may be included, and the full service history of the model. As such, the final price you may receive may be less - and sometimes, more - than initially quoted.
Once you’re happy with the valuation you have received, you can then sell your vehicle directly to Gates Ford. You can even choose to use the vehicle as part exchange on one of the many other models we have in stock today, so take a look at our range and get started with selling your car.
At Gates Ford, we are passionate about both the automotive industry and ensuring our customers secure the best value for money. This includes when you wish to sell or part exchange your vehicle. We’ll provide a competitive valuation and do all the hard work for you, providing a fast and efficient service every time.
