Today I’ve… agreed to sell it. All a bit sudden, but a little while ago I put my info into Motorway to see it’s likely value, just out of curiosity. The valuation was circa. £14.5k. I then got an email saying the valuation was £16,800, so I thought I’d complete the process, send pics, and actually speak to them. That led to it going up for sale with a reserved of £17,250. It sold for just over £17,700.
I’m now in contact with a dealer who’s buying it, and spending my time on Autotrader working out what’s next. Oh, and I asked DMS to remove the remap today… that was a shocker on the way home!
Funny how things work out sometimes.
What age spec and mileage is it? Would you reccomend selling that way then I have thought about giving it a try but don't know anyone else who has used motorway.
Standard non-PP GTi, DSG, 5-door, MK7.5, 17’ plate. Boggo standard, 49k miles.
So far Motorway themselves have been superb. The process is easy, their comms is good, they’ve followed up since I agreed a deal to make sure everything was OK and the buyer had been in touch.
At the moment I’m in the hands of the buyer. They’ve contacted me for info (service history, photo of the V5C, bank details, etc) and I’m now just waiting for a collection date from the third party they use.
This is the bit that’s likely to vary each time; Motorway are on the sideline at the moment and I imagine some buyers are better to deal with than others.
From what I’ve experienced so far I’d definitely recommended it. The process and service has been great and the price was higher than I expected… I just hope the buyers collection service hurry up now!
