Review of Motorway


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Exceeding expectations - by a mile.

I was selling my wife's six years old Mini Cooper, immaculate, one owner but seldom used. Tried the local branch of the one that buys any car but they offered a lot less money than they had indicated online.
Two days later, ran simultaneous "auctions" with Motorway and Carwow. Motorway's app made the photography so easy and created a listing that was much more professional. They then suggested a reserve price £1500 above what I expected and £700 above the parallel reserve. At around 3.30pm on the sale day I received text messages from both platforms to say that the car had sold, in both cases well above the reserves and in Motorways case £760 above their suggestion. So well over £2k better than I initially expected. The dealer was quickly in touch arranging for a driver to collect the following day. When he arrived, I took him for a two mile test drive after which he carried out a fairly thorough inspection before calling the dealer (in N.W. England) to confirm that everything was in order. In the time it took to make the guy a coffee, the money was in our account and he was able to drive off.
I can't speak highly enough of Motorway's service in making the whole process so simple, nor of the dealer and the logistics firm they use for their collections. All in all, a silky smooth operation with an unexpected cash bonus.
