I've spent 18 years building and running websites. I started by making them, then worked on the marketing that gets a site found, and now I run the products and the teams that ship them.
We already build websites for independent dealers. Buying Desk came out of that work. The cars those dealers wanted were going through auction, with a buyer's fee and transport on top, when the seller would have come to them direct.
So we built the buying site: a real price in the dealer's name, backed by the car's MOT history and honest condition questions, with photos before anything's firm.

What we do.And who it's for.
Buying Desk is a car-buying website for independent car dealers in the UK. We build each dealer their own buying site, branded as them, where local sellers value their car, get a real price straight away and book a time to bring it in.
Behind every buying site is the system that makes it work: up-to-date vehicle valuation data, MOT history checks, the dealer's own pricing rules, instant lead and booking alerts, and a report showing what each car saved against buying at auction.
We work with independent used car dealers, from single-site traders to multi-site groups. We don't buy cars ourselves, and we never sell a dealer's leads to anyone else.

Why it's builtthis way.
In your name
The buying site is yours. Sellers deal with your dealership, and you keep the price, the lead and the booking.
A figure you can keep
MOT history and straight questions about condition come before a price is shown, and photos before anything's firm. The offer has to be accurate enough to stand by.
We set it up with you
You don't build the buying site. We do. Once it's live, you control the prices and hear about every lead as it comes in.
