The world is full of unsavoury characters and unfortunately, our industry is no different. Fluffy Dice is an independent and well-funded local company.
The business is managed by experienced motor trade professionals and customer service is at the heart of everything we do. Your car sale is always carried out confidentially – we never post photos of you, your car… unless you want us to.
Meanwhile, selling privately often means you must post photos of your car and home online for all to see.
When selling your car privately, you may get lots of visitors and promises, but remember – that customer could also be looking at many of the thousands of other vehicles available.
They could also be buying a similar car online, but the actual car is miles away and they want to try yours locally instead.
Your Fluffy Dice valuation will be valid for three days and is guaranteed once we have viewed the car. On completion of all the required paperwork, secure payment will be made within 30 minutes.
Selling a used car privately could take three to four weeks if you are lucky.
You need to be available when the potential customer wants to visit, spend time while they look at your vehicle, be prepared for some haggling, and accompany them on a test drive.
Do you have the time to do all this, multiple times over and over again?
With Fluffy Dice, everything can be sorted in one quick, efficient, and professional appointment.
Prospective customers may expect your car to be prepared to a dealership or showroom condition.
That means you may need to spend more time and money repairing those, scratches, scuffs, and car park dents with no guarantee of a sale. You will also need your car to be clean and tidy at all times.
At Fluffy Dice, we will buy any car, with any mileage, and in any condition.
Marketing your car yourself can be very expensive. It averages between £50 and £100 a week with no guarantee of a sale. If the car doesn’t sell, you will end up having to reduce the price further until it does.
Meanwhile, other car-buying companies will sell your cars to dealers while taking a hefty commission from you for marketing purposes. These costs all drive down the amount of cash you are offered.
At Fluffy Dice we always do our best to give you the best price, avoiding added costs by drawing on our vast network and discreet car marketing strategies.
Many online buying services will add administration fees after the valuation to cover their time, fuel, and salesman commissions.
At Fluffy Dice, the price you are offered after inspection is the price you will get.
Between 60-70% of vehicles are funded by finance or personal loans.
If your vehicle has existing finance, you will need to settle this first in order to sell to a private customer. At Fluffy Dice, we can settle your existing balance ourselves and pay you the balance in cash.
A potential customer will want to test drive your car. This is a dangerous area for you as the seller.
Is the customer insured comprehensively to drive your car? Are they already a banned driver? Do they have a valid driving license? What if there is an accident on the test drive? You will be left to pick up the pieces and are unlikely to proceed with a sale.
You may have to also do this several times in the average four weeks it takes to sell your car. At Fluffy Dice, our buyers are all comprehensively insured to drive any car, and they will have their driving licenses available for inspection.
When you sell your car privately, you never really know who you are dealing with. It is imperative that you get your money, and that any existing finance is settled immediately.
This is still your debt until it is paid off. At Fluffy Dice, our administration is super slick. If all paperwork is available, your payment and any lease will be settled immediately by bank transfer.
