For sellers
Before you say yes, know what else is on the table.
One dealer’s offer gives you a starting point. We approach suitable dealers, follow up and negotiate the offers received, so you can compare your options before committing.
Approach
We present your car to suitable dealers and follow up.
Negotiate
We clarify conditions and ask whether offers can improve.
Decide
Compare the offers received. Accept only if one works for you.
SELL WITH CONTROL
Someone in your corner: we handle the dealer conversations and keep you informed. You pay no seller fee; ValuDrive earns a fee from the purchasing dealer when a sale completes. You can decline any offer.

Investigate the car.
A vehicle can look perfect and still leave important questions unanswered. We organise the available information, flag what needs attention and explain what it may mean for your decision.
- Accident and insurance-claim information
- Mileage records and inconsistencies
- Dealership stock duration, where available
- Available ownership history
- Service and warranty information
- Roadworthy report status, where available
- Stolen-status information

Create my buying profileWhy ValuDrive
Before you commit,
know what you’re agreeing to.
A car’s appearance cannot tell you its whole history. One dealer’s offer cannot tell you what another would pay. We do the investigation or the dealer conversations, so you have more to base your decision on.
FOR SELLERS
Your car. Someone in your corner.
Getting more offers shouldn’t mean spending your days chasing them. We approach suitable dealers, follow up, clarify conditions and negotiate.
- Share the details once; we manage the conversations.
- Compare the offers received and their conditions.
- No seller fee. No obligation to accept.
FOR BUYERS
Understand what the records mean.
Find out what needs explaining before the car becomes yours. We review available records, highlight gaps and explain the questions worth asking.
- Know the investigation scope before paying.
- Receive findings with a clear explanation.
- See what needs further confirmation or a physical inspection.
ValuDrive is not a dealership. Investigation coverage varies by vehicle. Dealer interest and offers vary; a higher price or sale is not guaranteed. Sample reports are illustrative, not customer results.
