If you haven’t been through the process of selling a car before, it can feel a bit daunting and you might be unclear on where to start.

Should you try to sell your car privately? Have potential buyers come round to your home in Liverpool to check out the car, test drive and haggle?

Should you sell your vehicle to a car buying service? It seems easier, but you’ve heard the frustrating stories about high initial valuations being reduced after car inspections.

Or if you’re looking at getting a new car in Liverpool, should you just bite the bullet and part-exchange? You know you’re unlikely to get the best price, but it seems like the simplest option.

Flipit: The smart way to sell your car in Liverpool

1. You let us know a bit about your car

To make sure we can provide you with an accurate offer, we’ll need a few details about your car. You don’t need to worry – it’s nothing too complicated. We just need to know things like your mileage, the condition and whether it has any dents and scratches. 

We’ll also need to know where in Liverpool you’re based so our collection team knows where to go, and a few contact details so we can get in touch to arrange a collection date.

2.  We’ll provide a competitive valuation that we intend to pay

Based on the information you’ve provided about your car, we’ll provide you with an immediate valuation that we intent to stand by.

3. We’ll travel to your home in Liverpool 

Once you get back to us and confirm you’re happy with our offer, our team will get in touch to arrange the inspection and collection of your car. 

The initial offer you receive is the value that we fully intend to pay, as long as the information you’ve provided is accurate. 

If there are any changes to our offer, we’ll be completely upfront and transparent as to why, and there’s no pressure on you to accept it.

4. You get cash in your bank

As soon as you’re happy to sell your car, we’ll do some simple paperwork and make sure the right amount has hit your bank account before we leave. 

It really is that easy. Selling your car in Liverpool couldn’t be more straightforward and hassle-free! 

Whatever your reasons for selling your car in Liverpool, we’re here to help.

When we started Flipit, we made a commitment to always put the customer first and to go the extra mile wherever we can. 

Our inspection and collection teams are a friendly bunch, and often get to understand the different reasons why people are choosing to sell their cars. Based on the most common reasons that customers give us, we’ve pulled together some useful information that we hope might be useful, no matter what your motivation is for selling your car in Liverpool. 

Deciding to make the most of Liverpool’s public transport network?

A lot of investment has been made into the public transport network across Liverpool in recent years, with a 5-year investment of £172 million agreed in 2019, and a further investment announced in Liverpool’s 2023/24 budget. 

Although the region doesn’t currently have a tram network, many areas across Liverpool and Merseyside are served well by buses and trains. 

If you’re looking to plan your public transport journeys, Merseytravel have a useful journey planner on their website. 

And if you’re looking to get more active, Liverpool’s citybike scheme allows you to rent bikes across the city. 

Looking to embrace the electric car revolution?

As people become more environmentally conscious, the number of electric vehicles on UK roads is increasing at a rapid rate, rising by more than 240% between 2020 and 2023. 

Liverpool has big plans to embrace the trend towards electric vehicles, announcing a mission to become the most electric car-friendly city in the North of England by trebling the number of public EV charging points across the region. 

If you’re looking to sell your car in Liverpool to become one of the growing number of electric vehicle owners, you might find Chargemap useful – it includes a current list of the charging points across the city. 

Need more space for a growing family?

One of the most common reasons for people choosing to sell their car is a change in circumstances that prompts them to look for an upgrade.

This could be a baby on the way which means a 3-door car needs upgrading to a 5-door, or children getting older and needing a car with more space in the back.

If you’re on the search for a new or used car in Liverpool, you’re really spoilt for choice. There are several popular car supermarkets across the region, as well as plenty of official dealerships for major car brands. 

Looking to sell an unused car in Liverpool?

2.7 million vehicles were declared as ‘off road’ with a Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) across the UK in 2022. 

Vehicles in the Liverpool postcode area made up around 1% of the total figure. That’s a lot of cars currently sitting on Liverpool driveways and garages! 

SORN is useful if you’re only planning on keeping your car off the road for a short space of time. But the longer your car sits there unused, the more it devalues.

If you’re one of the Liverpool residents that has an unused car sat on your driveway, why not get a valuation and see how much your car is worth? 

Flipit also buy cars that are non-starters or insurance write-offs. Just get in touch with our customer service team with the details, and we can take it from there. 

Looking for quick access to cash?

Unexpected money worries can affect anyone. There are a variety of reasons why people might need fast access to cash – often from circumstances outside of their control. 

If you’re choosing to sell your car in Liverpool to access some cash, you can have the confidence that we’ll make the process quick and easy, and offer a competitive price for your vehicle.
