Private seller car questions
Does SearchMyRide own the private seller vehicles?
No. Private-sale adverts are submitted by individual sellers. The vehicle remains the seller’s responsibility, so buyers should independently verify the vehicle, seller and paperwork.
What should I check before paying?
Confirm the seller’s identity, proof of ownership, vehicle identification details, service history, licence status and whether the vehicle is subject to outstanding finance.
Can I advertise my own car?
Yes. Use the Sell Your Car page to register, submit the vehicle information and select the available private-listing package.
