A price now.A time to bring it in.
- A real price, not a form that waits for a call
- A time they pick, from the hours you set
- The car, the offer and the photos, before they arrive
What the seller does.Why it works for you.
They enter their reg
Their registration and mileage. Nothing else to start.
An easy first step, so more sellers start.
We check the car, they confirm it
We look up the car and its MOT history and show them the details: make, model, engine, colour. They confirm it's theirs.
Every offer starts from the right car and a checked mileage record.
They tell us its condition
A few quick questions: owners, service history, keys, any damage.
You know what you're buying before it arrives.
They see a real, instant price
It appears as soon as they've shared a few basic details, priced by your rules.
A price they can trust is one they act on, and you have their details either way.
They add photos
From their phone, before they book.
You see the car before you give up the time.
They book straight away
They pick a time within your opening hours and book it there and then. You both get a confirmation with all the details.
No phone tag. It's in your diary before you've picked up the phone.
You get a text.Then you buy.
The moment they book, it lands on your phone. The car, the time, the offer, and that the photos are already in.
Same car.The auction fee stays with you.
You pay the seller the same as the hammer price, and they drive it in. The saving is the buyer's fee and the transport.
That's £1,056 on each car like this.
2 cars a month£25,344 a year
4 cars a month£50,688 a year
Illustrative example. Standard published buyer's fee at a major UK auction for an £8,000 car (March 2026), ex VAT, plus typical transport. Same price paid for the car, before your Buying Desk plan.

Charlie Wood
Founder, Buying Desk
We build websites for independent dealers, and we kept seeing the cars they wanted go through auction instead of to them. Buying Desk is the buying site we built so those sellers come straight to you. Ask us anything. You'll get a straight answer.

Do I need a new website?
No. We build you a separate buying site, designed around your brand, or as a brand of its own if you'd prefer. Your current website stays exactly as it is. You just link to your buying site from it.
Where do the prices come from?
Every valuation starts with up-to-date market data. Then your own pricing rules shape it. Knock money off for part service history, add your margin, set a mileage limit. Don't want cars over 100,000 miles? Those sellers won't get a price, and you choose whether they're turned away politely or passed to you to call. Set your rules once, and every seller sees an offer that already reflects them, instantly.
How does a seller get their price?
On their phone, in one go. They enter their registration and mileage, check it's their car, answer a few quick questions about its condition, and see your offer straight away. Then they pick a time to bring it in.
How much do I have to do?
Very little. Once your buying site is set up, share the link on your website, in your adverts and on your forecourt. Sellers get their price and book themselves in during your opening hours. When they arrive, you check the car matches what they told you, and buy it.
What do I see when they book?
A text straight away, and the booking in your dashboard: the car, their answers, the MOT history, the photos and the offer they accepted.
