What do I need to have ready on the day of sale?

Once you've made an appointment to have your vehicle collected, you'll need to have some documents ready. This is so your chosen dealer can check the validity of your car, transfer the money into your bank account, and complete the transfer of ownership. By having these ready in advance of your car handover, you'll ensure the fastest and most hassle-free experience on the day.
