We ask about everything that changes your car’s price before we give it, so it’s right from the start. If your car is as you described it, the price you see is the price we pay.
An instant price you can rely on, real people behind it, and no surprise drops: we only change the price if the car isn't as you described, and we show you what and why before you decide.
Type your reg and we pull up the official MOT record. Then a few quick taps: keys, service history, cambelt, any marks. The more you tell us, the firmer your price.
Your price appears straight away, worked out with the same rules our buying team uses, from live market data and your car's own history. Rare, high-value or unusual cars get a personal price from a buyer instead, by phone within 30 minutes (9am–6pm Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm Sat).
Accept your price and pick a day that suits you. We collect nationwide through Trade Logistica — or bring the car directly to our Bromsgrove premises if you prefer. Fully insured either way.
Our driver checks the car matches what you told us, plus your ID and the V5C, then payment is sent by bank transfer before we drive away. We can also settle outstanding finance directly with your lender as part of the same transaction.
Your price shows you exactly what it's based on, and it's guaranteed for 7 days if the vehicle is as you described it.
We start from live market data on what cars like yours are selling for right now, and from what it costs us to get it ready for our own forecourt.
We check the official MOT record: how the mileage has built up, passes first time, any advisories. A well-kept car is priced as one.
Your price page shows what helped your price and what lowered it, and how to win money back: find the spare key or the cambelt receipt and we add it straight back on.
No surprise drops: we only change the price if the car isn't as you described, and we show you what and why before you decide. Our driver checks it at collection.
Prestige, performance, rare or high-value cars get a personal price from one of our buyers, by phone within 30 minutes (9am–6pm Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm Sat).
Once our driver has checked the car, your ID and the V5C. Any finance is settled directly with your lender in the same deal. Never cash.
Some cars are worth a closer look before we guarantee a figure: high-value, rare or modified cars, or where the details don't quite add up. A buyer calls you with a price, guaranteed if the car is as you described it, within 30 minutes (9am–6pm Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm Sat).
Yes. Cat S and Cat N write-offs, and cars that have been a taxi or private hire, get an instant price online, just like any other car. Answer “Yes” to the write-off question, or tap “Taxi or private hire”, and your price appears straight away. Your price takes the write-off or taxi use into account, and your price page shows how.
Only if the car isn't as described, for example extra damage or a warning light. Our driver shows you what's different and the new figure before anything is agreed. You're never under pressure to sell.
Things it costs us to put right before resale: worn tyres, marks and dents, missing keys or service history, a cambelt that's due, and advisories on the last MOT. Your price page lists each one.
No problem. If a new one is on its way we hold back £250 and send it the day the logbook reaches us. If it's lost, we apply for a new one for £25.
We're a dealer as well as a buyer: we retail cars ourselves, so a retail-ready car is priced on what it will sell for.
The Used Car Buyers operates from within The Drivers Gallery Ltd at 256 Birmingham Road, Bromsgrove. You can visit us, verify us and inspect us in person. We're a genuine, active motor trade business — not a website with a phone number.
Because we can retail the right vehicles through The Drivers Gallery, we aren't constrained to trade-only money on suitable stock. When a car has retail potential, we price it on what it will sell for.
Your instant price comes from the rules our own buyers set and keep up to date, not a faceless algorithm. Anything unusual goes to a real buyer, and a real person checks your car before any money moves.
Payment is sent by bank transfer before the car leaves you, at your door or at our Bromsgrove branch. If you have outstanding finance, we settle it directly with your lender as part of the same transaction. Nothing comes out of your pocket and nothing is delayed.
Geography is not a barrier. Our Trade Logistica division provides professional, fully-insured vehicle collection from anywhere in the UK. You can also deliver the car to us in Bromsgrove if that's more convenient.
We only change the price if the car isn't as you described, and we show you what and why before you decide. Otherwise, the price we agree is the price you receive — in full, on the day.
Whatever the age, condition, mileage or history — if you have a car or van to sell, tell us about it. There are very few vehicles we won't make a genuine offer on.
Clean, well-presented cars in good condition attract our strongest offers. If your vehicle has retail potential, we reflect that in our price — we retail cars ourselves, so it's priced on what it will sell for.
High-value cars across all prestige and luxury brands. Our retail experience, buying track record and logistics capability means we can move quickly and confidently on premium stock.
We assess every car on its condition, history and genuine market position — not just the odometer reading. High mileage doesn't put us off if the car has been maintained properly.
Cat N, Cat S, bodywork damage, mechanical issues — describe the car honestly and we'll provide a fair, realistic valuation. We buy damaged vehicles every week and price them properly.
Engine failure, gearbox problems, electrical faults — if the car won't start or won't drive, we can still make you a genuine offer and arrange specialist collection where needed.
Off the road, awaiting test, or declared off-road — we handle these situations regularly and know how to value them accurately. Get in touch and tell us what you have.
Our premises, our branded vehicles and our documented buying activity are shown here so you can see exactly who you're dealing with. Every photo on this page is genuine — taken at real collections with real sellers.

Over 250 five-star Google reviews for The Drivers Gallery, our Bromsgrove dealership. Here's what three of our sellers said.
"I'd tried the well-known online buyers first and found the experience genuinely frustrating — automated valuations, faceless emails, and then a lower price on the day. The Used Car Buyers were completely different. I spoke to a real person, received a fair and consistent offer, and the whole thing was done in two days. I couldn't recommend them more highly."
"My car had PCP finance outstanding on it, which I assumed would make everything complicated. The Used Car Buyers sorted the settlement directly with the finance company, managed all the paperwork, and paid me the equity on the same day as collection. Professional from start to finish — genuinely impressive."
"The car had some bodywork and I was worried about getting a decent price. They were upfront, explained their valuation clearly, and there were no surprises or reductions on the day. The price agreed was the price paid — in full. Honest, professional and fast. Exactly what you want when selling a car."
