selling a left hand drive car in UK
European LHD cars don’t have a big market in the United Kingdom (there is a niche market for USA cars). Left hand drive car dealers specially bring or trade them over into the UK and create the market and If you have a basic European lhd car (and it’s registered in the EU), then some of this might not apply to you. We buy left hand cars are here to help you either way.
Your car won’t be purchased by many dealerships since they won’t be able to resell it, so:
- Make sure the buyer is either someone looking for an actual left hand drive cart in uk or a lhd car dealer
- Make sure to have your MOT certificate handy, any vehicle is not allowed on the road without one
- Have your price in mind, look around the net on sites such as Car buyer, auto trader and gumtree, find a like for like car which has a price
- Check where a dealership you are selling to is fully registered as a car buyer, using different trading names is common in UK
