Flipit: The smart way to sell your car in Manchester

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your car

To provide you with a fair and accurate offer we’ll need a few details about your car. We’ve made the process simple and straightforward, and we’ll typically just need details like your mileage, overall condition and any dents and scratches. 

We’ll also need to know your contact details and where in Manchester you’re based, so our collection team have all the information they need to pick up your vehicle. 

2. You’ll receive a fair, competitive valuation

Once we’ve got all the details we need, we’ll come back to you with a fair and competitive offer that we intend to pay.

3.  We’ll travel to Manchester to inspect and collect your car

Once you’re happy with the valuation, our team will travel to your home to inspect your car and provide a final offer. 

As long as all your answers have been honest, there’s no reason the offer should change upon inspection. But if it changes, we’ll be really clear on the reasons why.

4. You’ll have cash deposited into your account

As soon as you’re happy to sell, we’ll deposit the agreed amount into your bank account before we leave with your car. 

It really is as simple as that – selling your car in Manchester couldn’t be easier!

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

One of the things that sets us apart from other car buying services, is that we always try to go the extra mile for our customers. 

That’s why we’ve put together a list of resources that we hope might be helpful for you, no matter what your motivation is for selling your car. 

Selling your car to become more eco-friendly?

If the reason for selling your car is to become more sustainable and mindful of the environment, you might be looking at buying an electric car. 

There’s definitely a shift towards electric vehicles, with over 700,000 zero-emission vehicles now on UK roads, and over 250,000 of these registered in 2022. 

If you’re looking for electric vehicle charging points across Manchester, Chargemap has a number of locations on a handy visual map, and zapmap can help you find charging points close to your current location. 

If you’re selling your car to begin cycling to work, there’s currently a lot of investment going into the BeeActive scheme across Manchester, which offers 24/7 access to hire bikes across the city. And if public transport is more your thing, Transport For Greater Manchester has a great service to provide live updates for trams, trains and buses.

Looking to upgrade your petrol or diesel car? 

Perhaps you’re looking to sell your car so you can upgrade, or get a bit more space for new additions to the family (or growing kids!). 

There are a number of used car supermarkets across the Manchester region that offer some attractive deals.They might try to steer you towards a part-exchange deal for your current car, but it’s worth being aware that you’re likely to get less for your car as a part-exchange than you would by selling it directly.

Looking to sell an unused car?

It’s estimated there are more than 33,000 cars with a SORN (Statutory Off-Road Notification) across the Manchester postcode area.

If your car is one of them, you could have a few thousand pounds just sitting in your driveway or garage. And unless it’s a classic car, the longer you leave it, the more likely it is to lose value.

So if your car is currently off the road, why not enter your details in our valuation tool and find out what your unused car is worth? 

Selling for financial reasons?

The rising cost of living is affecting many people across the UK. Perhaps you’re selling your car to get a bit of extra cash in your bank account. 

If this is the situation you find yourself in, rest assured that our team will provide you with a quick and easy way to sell your car at a competitive price.

If you’re looking for additional support, Citizens Advice Manchester has a valuable guide and plenty of resources to help.

Trying to sell an insurance write off or non-runner? 

Accidents happen. In fact, there were 1729 reported car accidents across the Greater Manchester area in 2022 alone – that’s almost 5 per day. 

If you’re looking to sell a car that’s been involved in an accident and has been written off, we can still help. The same is true if your car currently won’t start or isn’t roadworthy. 

We’ll be upfront, the process is a little different. You’ll need to call our customer service team to talk through the details – but you can still sell your car in Manchester if it’s a write-off or non-runner.
