Real experiences of selling a car: what Doncaster sellers tell us

Stories from people who have sold their car, the frustrations with online buyers, and what made the difference when they sold locally.

We hear the same stories again and again from people who have tried other ways of selling first. Here are a few of the patterns, plus what some of our own clients have said in their Facebook recommendations.

The figure that disappeared

The most common story goes like this: a strong online valuation, an appointment booked, then a lower offer on the day with a list of reasons. Many sellers tell us they felt pushed into accepting because they had already committed the time.

The endless private sale

Others have tried selling privately and found themselves answering the same questions on messages for weeks, with buyers not turning up or haggling hard on the doorstep.

What our clients say

Brian Bentley said he got "far more money (and far less hassle) for my daughter's car than I had been 'offered' elsewhere (those that advertise on TV)."

David Hughes messaged Paul at 6:20pm and his car was "sold and collected by 8:00pm" with an immediate bank transfer.

Peter Bone put it simply: selling cars had always been "a massive headache" and it is something he will never do again without Paul.

The common thread

What people value most is honesty. Being told a real figure at the start, by a person who has actually looked at the car, takes the stress out of selling.
