Why Selling Quickly Makes Sense for Drivers in March
March is a Fenland market town where the car is part of daily life. The commute to Peterborough, Ely or Cambridge, the school run and the weekly shop all tend to involve driving. So when it's time to move a car on, you can't afford a long stretch without one. That's why plenty of local drivers want to sell your car in March in days rather than weeks.
We're an independent guide. We don't buy cars, value them or handle payments ourselves. What we do is point you to We Buy Any Car, a UK car-buying chain with more than 550 branches, and explain what to expect before you go.
Private Sale or Car-Buying Service? What Each Really Involves
A private sale can sometimes bring in a higher price, and some sellers find it worthwhile. It also asks a lot of you:
- Photographing the car and writing an advert that stands out.
- Answering messages, including plenty from people who never turn up.
- Arranging viewings and test drives with strangers.
- Haggling, then dealing with the risk of a payment that doesn't clear.
- Handling the paperwork correctly once a buyer is found.
Selling to a car-buying service swaps that open-ended effort for a defined process. You get an online valuation, take the car to a branch, and the sale is completed there. The trade-off is simple. A buyer who needs to resell the car at a profit usually won't offer as much as a private buyer might, but you get certainty and speed in return. It's up to you which matters more.
Cars That Would Be Awkward to Sell Privately
Some cars are hard to sell through an advert, and a service is often easier for them. We Buy Any Car buys cars in most conditions, including:
- Cars with no MOT or an expired one.
- Cars that are SORN or off the road.
- Non-runners and cars with damage.
- Import-status cars and cars with private plates.
- Cars with outstanding finance, which can normally be settled as part of the sale.
If your car has no valid MOT or a declared SORN, it mustn't be driven to the branch. It needs to be transported there instead. Allow for that if your car has been sitting on a drive or in a garage for a while.
Setting Realistic Expectations
The online valuation is free, and you're under no obligation to sell once you've seen it. Think of it as a quick way to find out what the market is offering, whatever you decide next. The figure depends on your car's make, model, age, mileage and condition. The final offer at the branch is based on an inspection, so be honest when you enter the details. Mentioning a scratch, a warning light or a missing service stamp now avoids a surprise later.
The price won't always match what a patient private buyer might pay. If you value your time and want a clear end point, though, it's a strong option for anyone who wants to sell your car quicker in March.
Three Steps From Your Driveway to Cash in the Bank
Here is how the process works from start to finish. Check the details shown on the We Buy Any Car site when you book, as terms can change.
Step 1: Get Your Free Online Valuation
Start by entering your registration and a few details about the car, such as mileage and condition. The valuation is free. It's also held for a set period, so you can book an appointment without the price shifting underneath you. You'll see the exact period when you get your valuation, so check it before planning your visit.
Do this while the car is outside and you can read the mileage and look it over. A quick walk-round helps you describe the condition accurately, from paintwork marks to tyre wear.
Step 2: Book and Visit Your Nearest Branch
Next, choose an appointment at the branch highlighted at the top of this page. That branch is the closest one to March. The appointment is usually quick and covers the inspection and the paperwork. We can't promise a set time, so avoid booking it tightly between other commitments.
Documents usually needed are:
- The V5C logbook.
- Service history, if you have it.
- Photo ID.
- Proof of address.
- Your bank details.
- A finance settlement letter, if the car has outstanding finance.
We Buy Any Car confirms exactly what to bring when you book, so treat that list as the final word. If you're selling for a family member, a friend or a business, it's possible, but extra paperwork is needed. Sort that out beforehand rather than at the counter.
A little preparation helps. Remove personal belongings, check the glovebox and boot, and bring all the keys you have. A tidy car also makes a better impression during the inspection, though it won't turn a poor car into a good one.
Step 3: Get Paid Into Your Bank Account
Once you agree and the paperwork is complete, payment goes directly into your bank account. Standard payment is free. Faster options, such as next-working-day or same-day, are usually available for a fee. Fees and timings can change, so check the current options when you book and decide whether the speed is worth the cost to you.
You can usually follow your payment's progress through a link sent by email or text. Keep your phone to hand after the appointment and you'll see where things stand.
If you've been putting this off, a few minutes online will tell you what your car is worth today. That's often enough to decide whether to sell your car in March or hold on to it a while longer.

A: Usually, yes. We Buy Any Car buys cars in most conditions, including no or expired MOT, SORN, non-runners and damaged cars. A car without a valid MOT or declared SORN has to be transported to the branch rather than driven there.
Q: What if I still owe money on the car?
A: Outstanding finance can normally be settled as part of the sale. Bring a finance settlement letter from your lender. We Buy Any Car confirms what's needed when you book.
