Sell your car online in just a few clicks. Check it out:
(Hull Daily Mail Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) A New online service for motorists is the latest business idea to be recognised by the Mail's prestigious Business Awards.
And though it has only been up and running since April, it has already been the catalyst for customers selling more than GBP3m of their used motors.
Wewillbuyyourcar.com, which is Yorkshire born-and-bred and based in Melton, is now expected to handle more than GBP13m of sales in its first year.
The company lives up to its name - agreeing a price online, sending a driver to collect the vehicle and paying the money into the seller's bank account electronically before their unwanted wheels are driven away.
People wanting rid of their car can, within minutes of filling in their details, click to accept the offer and relax - deal done, car sold.
A finalist for the Mail's Business Link Humber-sponsored Start-up Business Of The Year Award the enterprise is the brainchild of Noel Parkinson.
He said: "We wanted to provide private owners with the fastest and easiest way of selling a car, one that separated that process from the purchase of a new vehicle." He realised there was a gap in the market, particularly for women selling cars, people moving abroad, or those about to be given a company car.
"So we set up a highly complex pricing engine, an easy to use website that gives the customers an instant offer, providing they have supplied accurate details.
"That gives us the facility to respond almost instantly with a purchase offer once the potential seller has gone online and supplied accurate details of the car for sale." With 100 cars bought in July alone, wewillbuyyourcar.com is already well down the road to its initial target of buying 10 cars a day.
