Pawn My Car

Our valuations team consider many factors when valuing your vehicle, and we liaise with our network of independent auction house car specialists to ensure we provide you with the most accurate and up to date valuation. The most important factors which impact value are:

MAKE AND MODEL
The make and model of your vintage, antique, classic or luxury car is a hugely important factor. Recently a classic Ferrari 250 GTO (1962) sold at Sotheby’s in 2018 for over £37 million pounds, making it the most expensive car to ever be sold at auction.

OWNERSHIP HISTORY AND PROVENANCE
The number of years you have owned the vehicle, information about previous owners, previous auction or sale records or any other information about the history of the car can help us provide you with a valuation quicker.

RESTORATION WORK
If the vehicle has had restoration work carried out, and the work has not been completed to a high standard, this can have an impact on value.

MAINTENANCE
If your vehicle has been serviced regularly, this will be considered as part of our assessment.

CONDITION
The overall working aesthetic and condition is a key factor when determining value – any major scratches, marks, dents or damage to the working mechanics of the vehicle can affect value.

MARKET VALUE
The current supply/demand balance is taken into consideration as certain makes and models can demand higher prices at different times. As part of our valuation process, we try and locate any recent comparable sales from auction private sale records.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR CLASSIC OR LUXURY CAR

TRANSPORT
If you use our specialist collection service to have your car collected from your home, it will be fully insured against theft, damage and wear during transportation.

STORAGE
We work with a select number of premium specialist car storage facilities across the country. While cars are under loan, they remain in the storage facility and are routinely checked on and examined.

CARE
Cars receive monthly start-ups, battery checks, basic cleaning and where necessary, cars are stored in dehumidified, temperature-controlled facilities.

Yes. If you decide you don’t want to pawn your classic or luxury car, we offer a sale advance product for high value car owners who are looking to sell and raise funds immediately. Get a quote with us online, in-store or by phone today.

We offer loans from £500 up to £2 million though we only lend against cars valued at or above £75,000. We always aim to provide our clients with the maximum loan amount, though the amount depends on many factors including the make, model, ownership history, provenance, maintenance, condition, market value and any restoration work carried out.

If you are the owner of a classic or luxury car, instead of having your vehicle stored away in your garage, you can use it to get immediate, short term finance without needing to sell. The loan is secured against your vehicle, which remains under your ownership for the duration of the loan.

Clients often approach us because traditional financing options cannot provide funding quickly enough to allow them to meet an immediate deadline or take advantage of an opportunity.
