How to sell a used car?

Close

Selling your used car can be a stressful experience and there are several things you should do to ensure a smooth sales process. Start with advertising your car accurately with mileage, condition and service history stated. Once you have a buyer, make sure you agree a safe payment method such as a bank transfer or cash exchanged on banking premises. And finally, make sure your paperwork is in order; write two receipts for payment (one for you and one for the buyer), complete and send the V5C ownership documents to the DVLA, and hand over all service log books, MOT certificates and warranty information to the new owner.

Does servicing a car improve performance?

How much car servicing costs?

Close

Here at Prestige Cars Kent, we think there are two key things that are important when considering the cost of servicing. Firstly, not every service offers the same thing. You need to compare and consider the variables. And secondly, not all mechanics are equal. Some have years of experience or specialist knowledge which, especially in the case of prestige cars, can make all the difference when ensuring the quality of service.
