I've owned my car for less than 12 months; will you still buy it?
If you have owned the vehicle for less than 12 months, we may ask to see proof of purchase before we offer a valuation on your vehicle. Unfortunately, we are unable to purchase vehicles which have been bought at auction or from a salvage company. If you have owned the vehicle for less than 6 months, we may also inspect your vehicle on a ramp prior to offering a valuation.
