Part exchange in Reading made simple. Buying your next car from us? Bring your current one and we’ll value it against the car you’re buying. The value comes straight off the price — no advertising, no time-wasters, and no strangers turning up at your door.
How Part Exchange Works
- Find the car you want from our stock, or tell us what you’re after.
- Bring your current car in — or send us the registration, mileage and a few photos first for an indication.
- We value it based on its condition, history and the current market, and show you how we got there.
- The value comes off the price of the car you’re buying. If you’re using finance, it can cover your deposit.
What Your Car Is Worth
Three things shape the figure: condition, history and what the market is doing for that model right now. A car with full service history, a long MOT, two keys and no outstanding work will always value better than the same car without them.
It helps to check your car’s MOT history on the GOV.UK MOT history checker before you come in, so you know about any advisories that could affect the valuation.
We’ll be straight with you about the number and why. If it’s not what you hoped, you’re free to sell privately instead — no pressure either way.
What to Bring
- The V5C logbook in your name
- All keys
- Service history and MOT paperwork, if you have them
- Details of any outstanding finance, so it can be settled correctly
