The price of this service is dependant on vehicle value – please contact us for a quote. We will act on your behalf as your broker, and you will get the following services from us:

1) We will contact the private seller or dealer to check if the vehicle is still available for sale.

2) We will negotiate with the seller on your behalf depending on your instructions and proposals for purchase.

3) We will ensure that the vehicle does not have any adverse history e.g. it actually exists (as many criminals post non-existent cars), it’s not stolen, been in an accident, or outstanding finance etc. Prior to viewing and inspecting the vehicle, we will also conduct a background database check with the following organisations and provide you with a report of the outcome:

• Poilice Records (PNC)
• Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
• Finance and HPI Companies’ database
• Motor Insurers Anti-Fraud & Theft Register (MIAFTR)
• Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT)
• Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA)

PS: To avoid duplicate charging, for every car you provide to us that you are interested in buying, we will only provide you with a summary of the report highlighting important issues. The full report will be available to you once we recommend that you proceed with the purchase, and you pay the service-charge, to give you as much details as possible before you commit to the purchase.

4) If you are happy to proceed following the above report, we will conduct checks with the DVLA on the validity of the MOT Certificate and Tax status.

5) We will go to the seller and inspect the vehicle for any noticeable mechanical issues and cosmetic damages, and send you high quality photos and walk-through video for your consideration (please note this will be a check to verify that the vehicle is in a good mechanical and cosmetic condition as described by the seller I.e. to check that you are getting what you bargained for. If you require a detailed mechanical and engine inspection, we can quote you separately for that)

6) With all being satisfactory, we will make the purchase on your behalf, get the receipts and documentation completed and posted to DVLA as required, and retain these to post them to you by DHL along with the other vehicle shipping documentation.

7) We will then collect the vehicle from the seller and transport it to the UK port (please note this is not included in the service charge and our rate is £1 per mile from the vehicle location to the UK port. So for example, a vehicle in London would cost you £80 to collect and deliver)

8) We will ship the vehicle to you in your country (please note car shipping prices are not included in the service-charge. For the latest shipping rates and sailing schedule, please contact us and we will provide you with extremely competitive rates for shipping your vehicle from the UK to your country).
