Part Exchange Your Vehicle with WeBuyPrestigeCar
At WeBuyPrestigeCar, we understand that part exchanging your vehicle is a significant step in your automotive journey. That's why we've streamlined the process to offer you a hassle-free, transparent experience.
What is Part Exchange?
Part exchanging is a simple yet effective way to transition from your current car to a new one. In essence, you sell your existing vehicle to the dealer from whom you're buying a new car. The dealer then deducts the value of your old car from the cost of the new one. This can either reduce the amount you need to transfer if you're buying the car outright or lower your initial deposit and subsequent monthly repayments if you're opting for finance. While selling your car privately might fetch you a higher price, the convenience and speed of part exchanging often make it a more attractive option.
How It Works
Step 1: Submit Your Registration
Start off by inputting your vehicle’s registration number. This enables us to collect essential details about your vehicle, laying the groundwork for a precise valuation.
Step 2: Obtain a Prestige Valuation
Once your registration particulars are in, our advanced algorithms spring into action. You'll shortly receive a prestige valuation that takes into account multiple variables, such as your car's make, model, age, and overall condition.
Step 3: Finalise Collection Details
If you’re happy with the valuation, the final step is to finalise the details for collection. We'll work with you to schedule a collection at a time and location that suits you best.

How to Determine Your Car's Value
The trade-in value of your car is influenced by several factors, including but not limited to:
- Make and Model - Luxury cars often have a higher trade-in value compared to economy models. Brands that are known for their durability and high performance, such as Mercedes-Benz or BMW, are likely to fetch you a better price than mass-market brands like Ford or Honda.
- Age - Newer cars usually fetch a higher price. This is because they are likely to have more up-to-date technology, better fuel efficiency, and fewer signs of wear and tear. Older cars, unless they are classic or collectable, generally depreciate faster and offer lower trade-in values.
- Mileage - Lower mileage often equates to a higher trade-in value. A car with fewer miles on the odometer is generally seen as having more life left in it, making it more appealing to buyers. High mileage can be a red flag for potential issues, thereby reducing the car's trade-in value.
- Condition - Cars in excellent condition are more desirable and thus command a higher price. A well-maintained car with a clean interior, flawless paintwork, and fully functional mechanical parts will almost always secure a better trade-in value than a similar car in poor condition.
- Paperwork - Having all your paperwork in order, such as a full-service history, a valid MOT certificate, and the car's V5C registration document, can also positively impact the trade-in value. Complete and organised documentation provides a transparent history of the car's maintenance, which can instil confidence in potential buyers and justify a higher trade-in price.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Part-Exchange Car?
When you sell your old car to a dealer while buying a new one, your old vehicle is termed as a part-exchange car.
What Documents are Required?
At a minimum, you'll need your car's V5C registration document, commonly known as the logbook. Additional documentation like the owner's manual, service book, and any maintenance records can enhance your car's trade-in value.
Can I Part Exchange a Car on Finance?
Absolutely, you can part exchange a car that's on a finance plan, provided there's no outstanding finance on the vehicle. We'll offer you a valuation based on the car's market value and settle any outstanding finance for you.
