Sell my car in Liverpool

Looking to sell your car in Liverpool? At Bristol Street Motors, we'll be happy to help. Our simple, stress-free process allows you to enter your reg and get a free, instant valuation - valid for seven days.

Once you're ready, all you need to do is book an appointment at your nearest dealership. We'll check the condition of your vehicle before sorting all the remaining paperwork and your payment. Then, you'll be all sorted!

If you choose to sell your car to us, we'll need you to bring the following to your appointment:

• Your full driver's licence
• A recent bank statement (dated within the last three months) listing your name and current address
• The Vehicle Registration Document (V5C)
• Service history records
• Where applicable, a valid finance settlement letter. This should show the final settlement amount and your finance company's details
• All the keys to your vehicle
• Any original accessories it came with, such as the user manual and locking wheel nuts

All you'll need to do with your V5C form is fill in the 'selling, transferring, or part exchanging this vehicle to a motor trader' section. Everything else, we'll take care of.

Alternatively, you can choose to transfer ownership to the new buyer.
