Tips for the best price

  • Wait for a few offers before you shortlist — they often arrive over the first day or two.
  • Reply quickly in chat. Dealers prioritise sellers who respond.
  • Mention service records and new tyres or batteries — they add value.
  • Compare with car prices to know a fair range.
