Selling a car in Edinburgh
Across the capital the sale starts with the form, which matters most where kerb space is scarce and a dead car ties up a permit bay outside a Leith or Gorgie flat. Send the reg and your EH postcode, tap the button to open WhatsApp with your details ready, and a firm offer comes back on WhatsApp, with no pushy phone calls to chase. The driver collects wherever the car sits, from Portobello and Corstorphine to Niddrie and Granton, and it need not run or hold an MOT to go.
Edinburgh enforces a city-centre Low Emission Zone, and the older diesels and petrols it prices out are among the most common cars we buy; our truck collects from inside the zone, so you never drive it through a charge to sell it. The same applies right across Midlothian and Edinburgh, where the towns down the A7 send us a steady run of the same cars. The paperwork is handled at the kerb: the V5C is signed over with you, the DVLA is told the car has changed keeper, and anything dismantled earns a Certificate of Destruction. Payment is by instant bank transfer before the driver pulls away.

How collection works in Edinburgh
Collection in Edinburgh and the wider City of Edinburgh area comes to you: home, work or street, with the slot booked around you once the offer is accepted. Same or next working day is the norm, a dead car with no MOT or tax still gets loaded, and the uplift itself is free from start to finish.
Edinburgh Low Emission Zone. If the LEZ has made your older diesel or petrol awkward to keep, you do not need to drive it anywhere — our truck collects from inside the zone. Send the reg for a firm offer before you pay another penalty charge. More on how we price these on our MOT failures and scrap car value pages.

How do I sell my car in Edinburgh?
My car can't meet the Edinburgh LEZ rules, will you still buy it?
Yes, and older diesels and petrols priced out by the Low Emission Zone are among the most common cars we buy. The truck collects from inside the zone, so you never drive it through a charge. Send the reg for a firm offer before the next penalty.
How do you collect from a flat with permit-only parking?
The driver comes to wherever the car is sitting, including a residents' bay in Leith, Gorgie or Portobello. You pick the slot when you accept the WhatsApp offer, the car need not run, and freeing up that scarce kerb space costs you nothing.
Is the DVLA notified when I sell my car in Edinburgh?
Yes. At collection the V5C is signed over with you, the DVLA is told the car has changed keeper, and a dismantled vehicle earns its Certificate of Destruction from the licensed yard. The capital sale closes cleanly with nothing left for you to file.
