How it works

You can only part-exchange one car if you buy it entirely online. However, if you purchase from one of our dealerships, you may part-exchange more than ne vehicle.

You’ll need the car vehicle registration number to get a valuation for your car. We’ll also ask questions about your car’s condition, its service history and mileage so we can give you a fair valuation.

The value of your car depends on a number of different factors:

Age and mileage - Newer cars and cars with a lower mileage retain more of their value.

Condition - Imperfections such as scratches, dents, wear and tear will reduce your car’s value.

Previous owners - Cars with fewer previous owners are generally valued higher.

Service history - A car with a full service history will retain more of its value than a car with a partial or missing one.

Current market prices - We use live market data to provide a fair and accurate price.

Your valuation is guaranteed for 7 days, so you have plenty of time to decide if you want to sell or part-exchange your car with JT Hughes.

You can pay for your JT Hughes vehicle in a variety of ways.

We only accept Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards for online purchases. Please note, for in-store car purchases, we have discontinued the acceptance of card payments

You can choose to part exchange your current vehicle, and the value of your current vehicle will be deducted from the cost of your JT Hughes vehicle.

JT Hughes can also help you apply for financing. Your application will be approved based on your status and our affordability checks.

You can also use your own finance provider if you prefer.

Your car. It may sound obvious, but you’ll need to be able to get your car to the appointment. We don't currently offer a collection service.

The V5 logbook/registration certificate. This must be registered in the name of the current keeper. If the V5 logbook/registration certificate is still in the owner's maiden name, you will need to bring a copy of your marriage certificate.

Two forms of identification. One must be an original photo ID (such as a passport) and one should be a proof of address item (accepted forms include a utility bill or council tax letter dated within the last 9 months). These must match the name and address on the vehicle logbook.

All service history and MOT certificates if available.

Both sets of car keys. Unless you've told us otherwise, the valuation provided assumes you have 2 sets of keys for your vehicle. If you've only got 1 key, the price we offer you after inspection may be reduced.

Bank details. So we can pay you for your car. The account has to be in the name of the registered keeper.
Finance settlement letter. If the vehicle has any finance outstanding we need a letter with the settlement figure from the finance company to be able to buy the vehicle.

Any extras that we’ll need. Such as the locking wheel nut for the alloy wheels where fitted, any detachable fascias and security codes for the radio, the security code for obtaining replacement keys and any discs required for the satellite navigation system.
