Anyone sold their car online?

Due to living in London and having hit a stage of life when DC are launched/launching we are thinking of selling our car and picking up something small through a salary sacrifice scheme.
Has anyone got any recommendations for an online 'we buy any car' type operation that doesn't offer you 20k and then turn up and say there's a scratch that wasn't visible in the photos so they will only give 15K?
Thanks.

Motorway were really good. We have sold 2 to them now

higher offer than WBAC and easy process including paying off any finance

no changes to offer when car picked up

Thanks @jackstini
We will try them.

We've sold 2 and they both tried to reduce the price once they got here. It's tedious but if you really aren't prepared to reduce it then just send them away. They'll be faced with getting the train/bus back and will quickly change their mind.

Who did you use @Hedjwitch ?

We’ve sold 2 to carwow- brilliant both times. Sold before to webuyanycar and the price is always lower, but I’m sticking with carwow.

We have used both WeBuyAnyCar and Motorway. Both were excellent, neither knocked us back. Excellent prices for the cars we sold along with the convenience obviously. We did try to use WBAC again but the second time there was a reduction for an issue with the paintwork that we genuinely hadn’t noticed. They were right though, however that meant the price wasn’t right for us so we didn’t go ahead that time.

Thanks @Saturdayishere and @Judashascomeintosomemoney

DH has sold 2 cars through Motorway and was impressed. For both he got double/triple what was offered on We Buy Any Car.

We used WBAC. They offered a higher price than two local dealers. However, their unit is about 5 mins away from where I work, Dh took the car & told them as I was the registered keeper of the price was right I’d then have to pop across to do the paperwork so he wasn’t under pressure.

Thanks @whiteroseredrose and @Comefromaway

This time we used MotorMoolah. We agreed a £100 reduction but they wanted to knock £400 off. ( car valued at 4K)

Thanks for that @Hedjwitch.

Just to update the thread - because I hate when the OP doesn't bother!
We went with Motorway, got more than we expected and they came and collected it and paid exactly what they offered.
So very very easy.
