The death of a family member can be a very difficult and traumatic experience. If you are trying to sell a vehicle that belonged to a deceased parent or close family member, you currently have limited options.
Auto Matters makes things very simple without you having to leave your home.
The vehicle’s current MOT may have expired, or you do not have any insurance for the vehicle meaning you are unable drive the vehicle to a garage. You also may have trouble selling the vehicle if the registration document (V5) is still in the deceased person’s name. You may not wish to have private purchasers at your premises at this time. The vehicle may not start/drive, or the vehicle could be a long way from your current location.
Our free service helps to overcome all of these problems. We will provide options to yourself, which includes confirming the cars approximate trade value, confirming the vehicles MOT/road tax status and outlining the choices you have to consider including selling to our recommended partners.
Most people find that the sale of a vehicle during normal circumstances can be a very stressful affair and that’s why Auto Matters can make the sale of a loved ones vehicle as stress free as possible.
Firstly, we will only supply a personal service, you have enough on your mind at the moment. We are not an internet-based vehicle purchasing company and you are not dealing with a computer, you are dealing with a human being, and we do not offer vehicle valuations using impersonal purchasing algorithms. You can simply call us or enter your registration number in the box above and we will supply you with a personal valuation.
One of our friendly team members will help guide you through the practical matters and possibly make arrangements with you for somebody to view the car at a time that is convenient with you, if you decide to sell it. Once the car has been assessed we may or may not make you an offer of purchase.
If we do not wish to purchase the vehicle we will commit to offering you free advice on the best methods of disposal or the best route to market. For example, you may wish to donate the vehicle to a charity or seek a private sale dependent on value.
