Sell My Car

Yes – carwow work with dealers exclusively, so they’ll be the only people viewing your car.

Once your car goes up for auction, there’s potentially over 3,000 dealers waiting to snap it up. This means you could end up with more than you expected due to the demand for used cars, ka-ching!

By submitting your car’s registration, you will be redirected to the carwow website.

ZenAuto does not own or control this site. If you decide to progress with quotes, compare offers and to sell your car, this will be managed directly between yourself and carwow.

We’re simply good friends with carwow (you may have seen their car reviews and ratings across our site) and share a love for making the world of cars easy for our customers.

To understand how carwow will use your personal data, please refer to carwow’s privacy policy and to carwow’s terms and conditions.

It depends on the type of finance agreement you have, not all finance types will work. If you have a PCP with a balloon payment and you’ve paid back at least 50% of the total financed amount, then yes, you can. The dealer is responsible for paying off any finance and providing proof that this has been done before they take your car. Plus, if the sale is higher than the amount needed to pay off any outstanding finance,as decided by the finance company, then you’ll receive the difference. Nice! On the flip side, if the sale is lower than the amount needed to pay off the outstanding finance, this means you have negative equity. In this case, you’ll need to pay the difference to the dealer beforehand, so they can go and pay the full settlement amount to the finance company. You can also hand your car back if it’s on an HP agreement and you’ve paid back at least 50% of the total financed amount. Since there’s no balloon payment in HP finance, this is usually close to the halfway point of the agreement. If you qualify, the dealer will take care of this for you so you can start searching for your new wheels.For full details on selling your financed car, carwow’s guide has all the info you need to know.

How long have you got? The carwow way is simple, free, and fast.

Unlike a private listing, you don’t have to pay, don’t have to write an advert, and don’t have to make time for those awkward viewings. It’s a no brainer, seriously!

You just need to provide a few details, some pics of your car and then the carwow team will do the rest.

Your car will be submitted to carwow’s daily online auction – dealers will submit their bids by 3.30pm that day. The auctions are held between 8am and 3:30pm, Monday to Saturday.

If your reserve price is met or exceeded on the day, your car will be sold to the winning dealer. You’ll then move onto the collection and payment stage. And voilà, you’re done!

If your car isn’t sold on the first day, it’ll be advertised for another two days. So, there are plenty of opportunities for the dealers to make their best offers.

Absolutely! Unlike some other car selling sites, carwow won’t charge you to sell your old wheels.

If your car sells in one of the auctions, you won’t be charged a penny.

Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to tell the DVLA that you’ve sold the car and provide the details of the dealer. If you don’t, you might not get your full car tax refund – that would be a bummer, hey?
