Why sell your classic car with webuyanycar?
Here at webuyanycar, we understand that a classic car is far more than a means of transport. Vintage and rare motors often carry deep sentimental value, historical interest, and years of personal pride, which can make the decision to sell a difficult one.
That’s why, since 2006, we’ve been helping classic car enthusiasts sell with confidence. Our simple, transparent process is designed to remove the stress from selling.
We offer fair, no-obligation valuations, without high-pressure tactics, so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
Where can I sell my classic car?
There are several popular options for selling rare and vintage cars. The best avenue for selling your classic vehicle will depend on your needs and priorities:
Sell your classic car with webuyanycar
Selling your classic car with webuyanycar is fast, convenient, and stress-free. You’ll receive an instant online valuation. We have 500+ UK branches, offer a guaranteed sale, and can often beat existing part-exchange quotes.
Sell at an online marketplace
You can list your classic car on many online marketplace websites.
This gives you a wide audience of potential buyers. However, you will have to manage the listing, answer questions, arrange viewings and negotiate the sale yourself. It may take time to find a suitable buyer, particularly if your motor has a niche appeal.
Sell with a dealer
Selling your vintage vehicle to a classic car dealer can be a quick and safe option. These dealers are experts who can offer a straight sale, although the price offered may be lower than what you could achieve through a private sale.
Auction your vintage car
Auctions are a popular avenue for selling vintage cars. You have the chance to achieve a high price, especially for rare or desirable models, as your car will be displayed before an audience of enthusiasts.
Be aware that you’ll need to pay commission and fees to the auction house – and there’s no guarantee your car will sell.
Sell your vintage car privately
Selling your car privately allows you to set your own price. The trade-off is that this option can be time-consuming and stressful – and once again, finding the right buyer is not guaranteed.
You are responsible for all advertising costs, viewings, dealing with unserious buyers, and processing the payment securely.
Frequently asked questions
The best way to sell your classic car will depend on your priorities and circumstances. However, if you favour convenience, secure and hassle-free selling, webuyanycar is a great option. You can sell your classic in under an hour whilst keeping fuss to a minimum.
No, in most cases, you won’t pay capital gains tax (CGT) when selling a classic car in the UK. This is because privately owned cars, including classic cars, are treated by HMRC as ‘wasting assets’ and are therefore exempt from CGT.
